Brothers ofthe Grand Dirision
Since our last quarterly session at
Blackville, nothing has transpired within
our Jurisdiction whcih requires from the
Grand Worthy Patriarch a report more
elaborate than usual, and, hence, I will
e.brief.
It affords me pleasure to report that
the rules and usages of the order have
been cheerfully complied with by the
various subordinate Divisions, and that
the cause generally, as shown by the re-
turns of the several Grand Deputies, is
steadily progressing in the minds and
hearts of our people.
AS in other great causes, which have
marked the progress of mankind, there
have been constant fluctuations so IN
this, the tide GIBBS and flows, but there is
nothing to discourage and everything to
encourage us in our noble work. In
certain localities the cause has held its
own, whilst in others it has slowly but
surely progressed, and in still other locall-
ties it has made rapid and marked pro-
gress. Several new Divisions have been
organized since our last meeting, thus re-
placing those which had ceased to exist
as well as augmenting our numerical
strength.
The Grand Worthy Patriarch has re-
ceiyed returns from the following Depu-
ties: w. D. Ussery, G. Sem, John L..
Bell, F. S. Dibblc, VIM. Walton Smith,
P. G.. Petrie, A. NJ. Kennedy, NJ. Il.
johnson, James F. Fry, Luther F: Smith
and A. B. Towers, and it is with pleasure
that he calls the attention of the Grand
Division to the fact, that since our last
meeting two new Divisions have been
organized in Anderson County and others
are in process of organization, thus, max
inc eight Divisions in this single county,
ali of which has been accomplished
through the energy, zeal and faithfulness
of a few workers in our noble cause.
Brothers let the example furnished us
by Anderson prove a stimulus to all OF
z1s, and let us return to our homes de-
termined not to relax our efforts until we
shall have brought up our respective
counties to the same high standard OF
moral excellence.
AS to the entire number of new Divis-
ions organized since our last quarterly
session at Blackville, and as to the gcner-
al status of the Order in the State, refer
YOU for more extended information to
our Grand Scribe, whom / checrfully re-
commend to your kind consideration for
the able and faithful manner in which
he has discharged the varied duties OF
his Office.
