The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-11-05

joiced that so many are found faith
full to their VOWS. Since our last meet
ing some seven or eight Divisions have
gone down, but as many new ones have
come forward to take their places.
Charters have been issued as follows

Besides the above, an application for
a Division at Pleasant Hill, in Athens
county, was forwarded to the G. s.,
but owing to some failure in the mails,
did not come to hand until Monday
morning last, but not in time to be
issued. Bro. j. r. Williams informs
the G. S. that he organized new
Division, and~named it New Baltimore
No. 6O3, but does not state precisely
its locality.
Most of these New Divisions have
been reported organized, and some Of
them have gone into active operation.
And it is worthy Of remark, that all
the Divisions chartered during the last
eighteen months, with one or two
exceptions, are in fourishing condi-
ton.
Tho applications and papers per-
tanning thereto are on file, and are
respectfully submitted.
In view of the fact that the N. D.,
at its recent session in Richmond, took
incipient action. looking forward to
the collection Of all debts due to the
various G.. Divisions, and that this G..
D. stands indebted to the N. d. over
FIVE hundred dollars, it may be well
for this Division to endeavor to devise
some means by which that indebted
ness may be liquidated. The debt
must be paid, and the sooner the
means are raised the better
New Lima Division No. 504, having
by a calamitous fire, met with seri-
GUS loss in the destruction Of her Hall,
with all the fixtures, made application
for new charter, books, &c, to re-
place those destroyed, the undersia ned,
under the circumstances, deemed the
application reasonable, as well as pro-
per, and complied with the request,
and forwarded the brethren of New
Lima new charter, &C., without
charge.
Under the resolution of the last ses-
sion of this G. D., most of the Divis-
ions have reported the name Of bro
ther chosen by the Division, to act as
D. G.. w. P. for the ensuing year.
This will greatly facilitate intercourse
between this Office and the subordin-
ate Divisions, besides being attended
with happy results to the Divisions,
since each one will be acting under a
Deputy of its own choice.
For statement of the receipts and
expenditures for the last semi annual
term ending Sept. 30th, 1859, see pa.
pers hereunto attached, marked As
1t will be seen that there has been a
considerable falling off in the amount
of receipts for the past six months,
There has, however, been a still fur
ther reduction in the expenditures.
The pledge given by the Undersigned
in his last report, that the expenses,
including postage, should not exceed
$50, has been redeemed-the two
amounts not exceeding that sum, And
although the receipts are much less,
vet all the current expenses have been
paid, besides ninety dollars of old
debts, ION the Mitchell note), and a
surplus on hand Of $75 03. r
One years experience as G.. s. has
fully satisfied the undersigned, that
the affairs of the Order in this State,
may be managed successfully, on a
scale of expenditure much less than in
years gone by. The food.tide Of
success, however, which attended the
Order when first introduced into oul
State-running up in short period tC
10000 members, carried with it cor.
responding large idea Of money ex
penditure, and all experience teaches
how difficult it is 10 contract and cir
cumscribe the outlay of cash, espe
cially where the responsibility is gen
raland not particular.
By strict economy, and taking carr
to contract no neU debts, the Order will
be able to weather the storm, and il
the end come out, as If by FIRE, FREE
from debt, and with renewed strength
and vigor. For such a result let Vi
labor--let us toll on toll ever.
For the quarter ending June 3Oth

3Oth, 1852, UP to the 10Th Of Octo
