To tbs members of the .HataaI .fssu-

I'm compliance with the request of
u the special committee, named in
the first OF the pseesding resolutions,
take the liberty to remind the Mem
bers Of the Mutual Assurance Society
against Ere on buildings of the State Of
Virginia, tina, searsely any Of the i'm.
portant business of the Society was
completed al their last geaeral meeting.
and that it is therefore, IN the highest
degree, interesting to bodi branches Of
the Society, that the general meeting
proposed to be held Oh the second
Monday IN the neat month, should be es
full as possible-indeedi q general
meeting cannot be legal, formed but
by the attendance of the members, as
we'll Of the town as the country branch;
besides, while the report If the speci-
al committee will, among dher things,
suggest amendments Of til, rules and
regulations Of the Society deemed es-
senliai TO the welfare of he country
branch particularly, yet, suchis the
plan, and such are the principles Of
the Institution, that the adoption Of
these amendments will inevitably effect
The interests Of the ioOn branch also.
II may not be improper here to re-
mark, that the stated general meetings
IF the Society happening annually, du.
ring the session Of the General .8ssem.
BIZ, those members of the Society who
have heretofore found il ineonv epient
TO attend in person, have centrally
failed &c appoint proxies, knowing as
they did, that at such general m eel ings,
they might be lawfully represented hy
the senators or delegates Of their res
pec,ive districts, cities, boroughs, OF
counties: but absent members OF sub
seribers cannot be so represented al
the general meeting 90 DO held in the
near mOntt--becaGse, senators or dele
gates are authorized b, the Act of A.
sembiy tpessed the tweDty-,LiH Janu-
AIRY, 1900 to represent absent members
of the Society then, and the, only,
"wheusoever any general MEETING of
the said Society shall be holden during
the session Of the General Assembly )"
1t will therefore be indispen.ibIy
necessary, that all members of The So
ciety whether of the to1on or cDuntr.
branch) who may find it inconvenient
or be unable to attend in person, should
appoint proxies according TO the pre-
eeding form Of power of attorney, to
represent them at the approaching ge-
neral meeting.
will only add, that it is with un-
feigned pleasure that announce it 60
the members of the country branch as
the opinion Of the committee, that such
alterations and amendments NAV be
made of the rules and regulations OF
the society, as will unquesiionably en-
sure TO that branch the highest pros
perity and finally the complete success,
confidently anticipated by its friends
when, III the year 1905, they resolved
on separation from the towns.
