The fourth quarterly meeting of Divisional Grange No. 24 was held in Brucefeld on Thursday, 15th inst., with the Worshipful Master in the chair. Bro. M-cMordie requested each delegate to give a statement of the standing of his grange, and the facts brought out were as follows : Though- the member- ship is not so large as in years past, there is more earnestness and a determi- nation to keep up the only real farmers organization in our county and one which has done a great deal of good in bringing about so many useful reforms' and has taught our people to think for themselves. To bring out the social feature it is customary to have an annual entertainment] to be finished by an oyster supper, or tea party, free to all members and their families. It was proposed by Bro. Rudd, and seconded by Bro. Mcllvean, that the initiation fee for admission to any subordinate Grange in this Division be $l instead of $3 as for- merly. The secretary said that during the past two years he had been asked by a great many farmers why we do not get up another excursion to the farm at - Guelph. To satisfy the request so often made during the past two summers: he THE HL1iQN ERPOSITOR. had; given a guarantee to bring the matter before the Division. It was, therefore, unanimously resolved that the Executive Comniittee should make arrangements for an excursion early in June, 1888. As it was thought that the honors d h uld go round it was proposed by Bro. McLachlan, seconded_: by Bro. McQuade, that Bro. Carmichael be Secretary ; a ballot confirmed the change. It was then proposed. by Bro. Rudd, seconded Ipy Bro. McLachlan, that this Division tender, its hearty thanks to the retir ng secretary for his valuable services i the past. By Ac c lamation An unusual number of County Coun- cillors have this ye r been elected by ac- clamation. What the reason for this is it is difficult to sa It is possibly due in some measure to the stringency of the times, most people having all they care to undertake to navigate their own affairs without incl easing the burden by adding on a load of municipal, politics.
