Com muuicatiOns


l here give you a sketch of the rise and
progress Of Harrison Creek Division, and
hope that some ADLER and more experienced
pens will follow and give to your readers a
general history Of our Order throughout the
State.
Harrison Creek Division was organized
July 9th, A. d. 1850, with twelve members,
Of ages from Is to so years. During this
Quarter there were two members initiated,
with no loss.

1850. During this Quarter there were two
members initiated and one received by card,
making a net gain of three.
The third Quarter commenced Jan. lst,
1851. During this Quarter there were two
members initiated, one withdrawn by card
ane one expelled no gain.
Fourth Quarter commenced April lst, 1851.
Three members initiated during this Quarter,
no loss; making a net gain of three.
The fifth Quarter commenced July lst,
1851. There was an accession of nine men,
bers by initiation, none expelled making a
net gain of 9.
Sixth Quarter commenced Oct. 1st, 1851.
No accession during this Quarter, one ex-
PEELED, making a loss of One.

I Two members initiated and one dismissed
making a gain Of one.
I Eleventh Quarter commenced Jan. lst
c 1853. During this Quarter there has beer
5 an accession Of two members by initiation
= two expelled, and one dismissed, making
: loss of one.
. Our Division is not quite 3 years old, an
has made a net gain of 20 members, and t
the modification of our opponents, no doubt
as they predicted that we would not live Ion
ger than two years at most; but we are ye
e alive, and, by the help of an Allwise Prov
c dence, we expect to live longer yet as W
e have men of the right stamp, judging fror
r the past. There is one thing remarkable !
/ the founders of our Division we have ten
& them yet, two of them we have dismissed b
- card, but not one of them has been expelled
y Judging from these facts, we hope ito d
something; though our opponents may wis
for us to fall, we feel assured we Shall star
the test of years yet to come.
