AHRROXING THEIR FUR
Many of them had kindly accepted
positions Is Deputies, and performed
their duties with. credit to themselves
and profit fofhe.0 order, and their high.
standing as honorable, reliable gentle,
men ID connection with their untiring
efforts, had given the prosperity to the
Order it now showed. and. TO the
hearty cooperation of the many Wor-
thy Masters of subordinate Oranges,
and the willing and cheerful services of
officers and members, both Of brothers
and sisters throughout the State, is
their present prosperity due. iag
MISREPRESENTATION EXISTED, SOD
no note of discord of any movement
had reached him officially. Among 60
many and So varied views as would
naturally exist. it was but to be expect
ed that some would be ready to say
different man would have better suited
to perform work than some who were
selected, and il could not be expected
that every selection would be such,
but that some one would think he or
some one else could have done better.
After a fitting compliment to the
officers of the Grange, DIR. Maxwell
concluded his address by saying that
the duties and labor they imposed upon
him by their unsolicited suffrages were
more than he ever had conceived. more
perhaps than any of them had dreamed.
They, like himself had propably form
ed no conception of the magnitude of
the work before them. They knew not
the strength, nor the power, nor the
virtue, there was in the philosophy of
the principles. they had undertaken to
advocate and disseminate. The more
they taught them. the more they prac-
ticed them, the more would they be
made to wonder why had they lain so
long dormant and imperative. He
then thanked them for the unexpected
honor they had conferred upon him.
