vice is that you pay no attention to
these rumors.
W. G. Il. reported Pleasant View,
Badger and Allen lodges as existing
in this county, and whose condition
would compare favorably with those
lodges that have reported to this

the south line of cur county, in La
tayette county, many Of its mem

very prosperous condition; will
soon build hall, costing 500.
