A splendid entertainment was given by the Grange to the G. A. R. and W. R. Corps and children, Friday evening, under the direction of Mrs. Jasper Myers. More of the W. R. C. would have been present had the invitation been generally known. The gathering was large however as 95 were present. The music consisted of patriotic songs, a violin solo with piano accompaniment by Joseph Raymond and sister Miss Raymond. The Bubble song was delightfully rendered by a number of small children in red, white and blue costumes, each holding up a handsome balloon. Another exercise by the older children in costume was very effective. This was followed by a march, after which two little children marched up to the only veteran present, Mr. John Gilman, and presented him with a bouquet of white flowers. This was preceded by a selection read very clearly by Mrs. Eliot, telling how much better it is to show attention to the living rather than pile the graves of dead ones with flowers. Two recitations were given by Elizabeth Brown, little Bobbie Nudd and Margaret Noyes. Sketches of the old houses in town among them. The old Garrison house afterwards known as the Toppan house, Miss Cole house, Mr. Ira Lane's, Mr. George Dearborns's and Mrs. Hugh Brown, which was interesting.

Ice cream and cake were served and a red poppy given to each one. America was sung and a very delightful evening closed.

Bobby Nudd and Elizabeth Toppan presented the flowers. Recitations by Elizabeth Brown, Bobbie Nudd, Margaret Noyes.

The Men's Club meeting, held last Monday evening, was a most interesting one. Rev. John Cummings gave a talk on the development of the town along the line of approved modern ideas. He was followed by Rev. R. S. Barker who gave an account of his visit to the Methodist conference held at Springfield and a brief review of the speeches which he heard. It was an unusual interesting account of a big event. Refreshments were served. Ice cream, cake and coffee. It was the last meeting until next fall.

The Memorial Sunday Services will be held in the Congregational church on Sunday morning at 10:30. It has been the custom, when these services were held in the P. M. to have them a Union of the churches. It is not that best to ask other churches to give up their morning service but a cordial invitation is extended to all who are interested, to be present. Not many more times will these services be held here for the G. A. R. veterans. The Mechanics are expected to be present on Sunday morning.

The meeting of the Seaside district S. S. Association which was held at the Line church Hampton Falls on Wednesday was a very fine meeting. On account of the illness of Rev. B. Christopher, the Pres., the former President Lineberry presided. Rev. Edgar Warren, pastor of the church, gave a very helpful talk on how best to teach the Bible in Sunday school. Then came dinner which was pronounced by all a great success. A question box led by Rev. R. S. Barker was interesting. The address by Rev. Percy Caswell was very good. Music from the Ladies' Quartette from Hampton and Miss Bryant with her Harp was enjoyed. Also Miss Bryant with her children's exercise. All felt well repaid for attending. There was a good audience present.
