The new building has been in course of erection for nearly two years, and isa large and handsome one, being the most expensive and modern erected by any local grange for its meeting hall in the state. The building is erected of brick, and is two stories in height. On the first floor is a large room which has been designed for use as a town hall or for any pub- lic exhibitions. The room will seat several hundred people, At the west- ern end is a large stage, with adjoin- ing room for any purpose. At the main entrance is a ticket office, and on the opposite side of the hall is a com- modious committee room. The stage is large and will be fitted up with scenery settings. A broad and easy flight of stairs leads to the second floor where the grange has its meeting rooms. The second floor audience room is designed similar to that of the first floor. It has a high arched ceil- ing with stage at western end, and the floor is covered with a new carpet of neat design. All the wood work is of oak and finished in oil, showing the natural grain. There are several rooms on the second floor which will be used by the order, as a library room, com- mitlee rooms, and for storing the re- galia of the order. The building was desigued to meet the needs 8f the or- der. For many years they occu pled one of the rooms in the boro school building, and being compelled to va- cale, and having no desirable location at hand, concluded to erect a home of their own. The building has been erected at an outlay of between $4000 and $5000, but this'amount does not express its actu. alcost. As much of the work as possi- ble was done by the order gratuitous ly, and in this way its cost was great- ly reduced. The heating apparat us is placed in the basement, and hot air pipes lead to every room on each floor. The ventil- ation is secureds through a process modern and efficient. For the dedication ceremonies the front of the stage was handsomely dec- orated with palms, ferns and flowers. A choir of about twenty-five voices oc- cupied the stage, along with the of- ficers of the order and those who par- ticipated in the dedication ceremonies. The members wore full regalia and the officers wore jewels and bore emblems of office. The services opeued with a prayer by Rev. F. F. Christine, after which the choir rendered a pleasing anthem. Master J. J. Aruey, address- ing the dedicating officer, Lecturer of the County Grange, Col. J. F. Weaver, announced that the order had erected a hall for the use of the order and that it should be dedicated to the service of the Patrons of Husbandry, in accord- ance with the forms and usages of the order. Col. Weaver responded by stating that he had been deputized to dedicate the hall if found suitable and satisfactory on inspection, Master J. J. Arney stated that the Grange was ready to receive the keys from the architect, Edwin Foreman, who in a neat discourse handed over the keys of the building. The Master received the keys and turning to the building comnmittee, Leonard Rhone, J. A. Keller, Perry Breon, Alfred Durst and J. J. Arney, stated that the building bad been erected under their guidance, and asked whether the con- tract had been complied with. The chairman of the committee answered in the affirmative. The Master then congratulated Edwin Foreman upon the faithful performance of his work. Master Arney then transferred the keys to the representative of the state grange, in evidence of the devotion and subordination of the order. To which the dedicating officer, Col. Wea- ver responded at much length in a beautiful peroration, touching upon the zeal of the order and its prominent position before the worid. The Assistant Steward, John Kel- ler and Lady Assistant Steward, Miss Florence Rhone, accompanied by four altar bearers, Mrs. (3. W. Ocker, Mrs, John Rishell, Miss Carrie Bpicher and Miss Estie Ocker, retire to the adjoin. ing room, where the altar had been placed, and returning, the four altar- bearers carrying the altar, preceded by Indy assistant steward and followed by the assistant steward. They placed the altar in position, ‘ When the altar was placed in posi- tion the officers assumed their respect ive places about it and the chaplain of- fered up a fervent prayer, At the con- clusion of the prayer the choir render- ed a delightful selection, Mrs. 8. W. Smith as Flora, advance ed and placed a basket of flowers upon the altar. Mrs. G. W. Ocker, Pomo- na, followed with a basket of fruits, sented them to the Bteward, Biglow Shaffer, A pretty part of the ceremony was the placing of a beautiful American flag by the Steward over the door at the entrance to the I{all. This con- cluded the ceremony. The remainder of the afternoon was devoted to social pleasures, and a chicken and waffle supper was served. In the evening the ladies served ice cream and cake, which the public lib- erally patronized, and the building fund received a handsome boost by the ladies’ efforts.
