fully decorated. It showed that great
pains had been taken in decorating and
much credit is due the young ladles.
The regular session of the grange was
held In the morning and the general
business transacted. The rest of the
day was open to the public, which was
well taken advantage of by a large
gathering, which shows, also, that the
people are greatly interested in the
work of the grangers. At noon an ex
cellent luncheon was spread by the la
dles, of which all partook With great
relish.
After dinner a very Interesting pro
gram was rendered, which had been
prepared by the grangers, aided by the
public.
Miss Lulu Hayward presided as organ
ist. Dr. J. 8. Castro made a few re
marks, saying that the large attendance
showed that the public is interested in
the work of the grange. He also dwelt
upon the necessity that farmers should
be organized "for In union there Is
strength." ; ,
A vote of thanks was extended to the
organist and all who assiited in the pro
