there we found quite number there
from other lodges, in all upward Of
one hundred, assembled to start the
new lodge on its way. d. ID. G. NJ,
Il. Rulofson, of StrattonvIlle, had
charge of the ceremonies, and with
the assistance Of some gentlemen from
other lodges, among whom was d. d.
g. NJ, j. g. Dale, of this place, the
lodge was instituted in an impressive
manner. The following are the names
Of the officers elected:
N. c., A. w. Owens.
V. G., J. S. Bverhart,
Sec'y., James Stanley.
| Asst. Sec'y, Conrad Daum.
Treas, Amos Seigworth.
Warden, ID. r. Wilson,
I. c., j. c. Seigworth.
o, G., G, Miller.
The lodge, which is called the Yocha.
hama Lodge, No. S62, started with 20
members, and spent upward of s400
before starting, for furniture, regalia
&C., all of which is gotten up in good
style. The regalia is the finest we have
ever seen in any lodge. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that before the 1st of
January next, t5e lodge will number
upward of seventy.fve members. AZ
ter the ceremonies, the assembly gath.
cred in the camp-meeting ground,
where they listened to appropriate
speeches from r. Ruloffson, Jos. Clary,
d. d. G. NJ. of Mercer county, S. d.
Irwin Esq, NJ. w. Tate Esq, and
others. Taken altogether the day
was one of substantial pleasure, and
will long be remembered by all who
had the happiness to be there.
F. E. Allison of Hickory has an
nouhced himself as candidate for the
Republican nomination for Assembly.
Being the only candidate on the track
of course he will be the nominee of
Forest county. After that is done.
Clarion may put up a Republican
candidate, and q conference be held to
decide who shall be the man to put
Williams up salt river. Should the
choice fall upon Mr.. Allison, we have
no doubt but he would represent this
county and district as well as any one
That could be suggested; but if it were
| deemed better that the Clarion man
should run, Mr.. Allison will not stand
in the way of the good of the party.
The whole question, after securing
good men, will be-which Of the Two
will carry the larger vote in Doth coun-
ties? And the answer TO this question
will probably point out the Republi.
can candidate of the district. These
questions, however will be fully can
vassed and some difinite plan of ac-
ton decided upon before the October
election. In the meantime, we would
say to all Republicans of this county,
vote for Allison at the primary elec-
tion, and let him go forth with the
assurance that the Republicans of
Forest county will support him in all
things that seem to be for the best in
terests of all concerned.
Court convenes next week, and
all are looking forward to that time
with hopes that change, for the bet
ter in the money market, will take
place, as a majority of notes given
fall due at that time, and everybody
has promised everybody else, that they
will straighten up shat little bill" on
court week. Added to this the fact
that the return judges of the Republi-
can primary meetings, assemble to
count votes and decide who are to be
the candidates of the party at the Oc-
tober elections. Boarding houses and
hotels are laying in supplies of pro-
visions to supply the inner man with
strength to bear up againt adverse de-
cisions, small awards, &c, &c. After
court week everybody will count their
money and rejoice or mourn according
to the footing up.
