Grand Sire Durham then presented mis- an
nual report, document of an interesting
and comprehensive character, from which
we extract the subjoined matters of general
importance:
RHPREsKNTATIvEs-One year ago we met in

sissippi valley, In one Of It's most populous aud
powerful statos. There we were welcomed to
that hospitabIe region by tns authorities ofone
oihsr mcst beautiful cities, by an honored ana
respected jurisdiction, and by devoted and
zea:ous bLot5erho ID. Here the suths rites OF
uful city, the representative OF this honored
aad enlightened Jurisdiction, and Of this inteli-
sSeir homes & i m f snsiE rne sast ey to
dencss OF honor and reipe;t should i'm press as
with the hiah position attained By this body in
The future It's past reputation and standing.
The future SUCCESS OF this institution in
amelioratng the o0Ld .tiOl Of mankind, in ee-
waiting the character of oar rn en bers. or IN

much to refard our progress as hssty and rare
care aud study in your deliberations, so that the

Although our i1crease Is considerable, yet il
would have besn far greater bat for the gen eral
nm an cial condition and distress OF the country,
which has CAUSED the dropping OF many good

their dres.
