through the faithful labors of the mem

made to the Order, and many drinking
men are being reclaimed. In numbers
and usefulness, Mt. Horeb Lodge bids
fair to rank among the first Lodges of
the State There is a demand for a
repetition of the delightful entertain
mcnt, given by them last week, and We
understand they intend to yield to said
desire in the future We learn that
Rev. II. G. Shippers has been appointed
Deputy &. w. c. 7, and we believe
will make an efficient officer. At the
last meeting of the Lodge, the following
obituary was read by the committee,
appointed for that purpose, viz:
