Progress of the Order.

richmond CoUNTY.-The ID. G. w. P.
F-ites-I had the pleasure of visiting and in
sailing the officers of Green Lake Division
tbs evening. | observed the chairs of the W.
:. and P. w. p. decorated with beautiful
gergreens and first flowers of spring, entwin-
ID and formed into graceful wreaths that
would have graced the highest chair of State
pr Nation. 1t was done by-some fair hands
Aof exquisite taste and still fairer face.
MECELENBuRG CoUNTY.-The w. P. Of
1Rock Island Division, gives us a cheering &C
lcount Of the progress Of this little band Of
Brothers. He says-"Our Division was or
gained on the 9th Of March last, and / am
thankful to say, it is prospecting finely. We
have 10 male members and IA Lady Visitors
and we expect additions to both at our
next meeting. 1t is composed chiefly of the
operatives of Rock Island Mills, and the
change it has effected is most beneficial to
them and the Proprietors. 1t is indeed pleas
ont to see our little flock gathered together,
and hear their little speeches upon the good
cause, May the Lord prosper it even more
abundantly."
~" A Lady friend finding none of the
male members would do so, has sent US the
following account of the Division to which
she is attached
Mountain Home Division is in a prosper,
Gus condition. The members meet every
week, and during the past winter have haC
many mutations. The female visitors attend
regularly and a deep interest is felt by ma
ny OF them in behalf of the welfare of the Di
VISION. At a recent meeting it was moveC
and carried, to invite the Ministers of The
nelghboring Churches to Join this Division
Tree Of initiation fees. Should they or any o
them accept the invitation, the Sons will fee
honored as well as benefited by their pres
ence in the Hall. Long may the Temperance,
Banner wave to the breeze; long may he
gallant Sons march on with the sure hope o
final victory.
CATAwBA CouNTY.-A brother of Laure
Hill writes:
We are doing very well, considering tn
number Of dlstilleries that surround us. Tn
members Of our Division are principal
young men, not settled in life, and man
,eaye the bounds Of our Division. We hav
lost more by card than by expulsion. | al
happy to say the Ladies are waking up t
ther duty-we initiated five this Quarter
! am sorry | have no names for the Spirit
tne Age. If had spirits that would max
trunk come, ! could dispose of it quic
enough.
ORANGE CoUNY.-Bro. Peter A. Ra
writes:
Permit mo to say a word or two in regar
70 Little River Division, and how it is gettin
along. On the I'd inst, we had an appoin
meht Tor public speaking, but the day beir
very wet one neither Of our speakers couI
get there. But our Division met and the
9Lelng a large turnout, rainy as it was, v
haa the pleasure Of initiating 0 persons-s
d lsd'es and three gentlemen. After the init
.Ioh was over we had very tasty collatiC
IN the way Of substantials and nice cake
presented by some ofour noble sisters. Al
you r%ecollect the ones we had the pleasu'
VI heiplng you to, when you were with
IsS' spring, you may form some idea of he
nice they were.
We have another appointment for speaki
on the Both inst, and would like very w
10 see you with us at that time, at viii
time think we will have another reviv
ana some 10 or Is new converts. Our !
vision numbers about 100 members, Male a
reinale; and if any Division can beat Lit
n'ver IN number and beauty, we would Ii
10 see them.
