READFIELD
Gra1ue Notes

A red-letter day occurred in Read
field June "a, when through the eff
forts of state lecturer NJ. J. Harri-
man and Deputy +. A. Walker, a
special meeting of the State Grange
and Kennebec County Pomona was
held at the grange hall. At the
afternoon program a memorial SER
vice in honor of the members who
had passed beyond" during the
year, from Pomona was held. Those
. taking part helped to make it both
beautiful and impressive. At five
o'clock 300 people sat at supper, the
ladies in charge and the young
Mattresses were kept busy. The
9Th degree was worked on a large
class. Meanwhile autos were con-
tinuously arriving from places more
distant, until there must have been
$50 people in the long line that
marched into the hall for the 9th
degree. For all the heat and the
crowded conditions everybody was
good natured and seemed to be hav-
ing the time of his life. State
Master, John E. Abbott, spoke in the
afternoon and had charge of the
evening meeting. Mrs. Abbott was
also present; also E. H. Libby and
wife, ID. E. Foster, John Briggs and
Ardine Richardson. Much credit is
due to Deputy F. A. Walker for his
efforts in making the meeting such
a success. The hall was prettily
decorated under his direction, the
looking after the several commit
tees and the welcoming of the guests
all received his share of attention.
Both patrons and towns people were
pleased and proud to have entertain
ed such a distinguished company of
people.
