325 members In good standing and to-
day. though w e had about 17 lapses
during the year we can show a mem-
bership of 385 and a.ll through the loy-
al and good work of our members

are many members who as usual in
organizations take little or no interest
at all.

best of share. Though we have had
a good deal of expense and among
other Incidents the endeavor to bring
the national convention to this town
which reduced our treasury about 375.
