SANITARY MEASURES NEEDED
IN OUR TOWN.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Will you take a
stroll with me around and about this
village, for it has occurred TO me
that there ought to be some san
itary or hygiene measure instituted
at once, indeed l think it has been de-
layed too long already for the public
good. We will only go in about thepub-
lie square,. But as charity begins at
home, let us begin right here. How can
you bear all that litterhere in your back
yard? But that is such a small item to
what we shall see; L will say no more
about hat Let US go into the street.
See under yonder! it seems that the
cellar under your printing Office is used
for all purposes; and, besides that, there
is q. pool of stagnant water, and it is sup
posed that is where those mosquitoes
generated which annoyed everybody SO
much last summer and fall, and, if so, l
hope they annoyed you and your ADvER-
T1sER corps more than they did anybody
else. And see here, this alley between you
and Mr.. Lynch, is it not in a very foul
condition? But you will see worse than
this. Look here between Mr.. Lynch's
store and Mr.. J.. l.. Addison's office
what a mass of filth. You know J. L.
A. was complaining a good deallast year,
and if such a state of things remain as it
now is through the nextsumrer months,
I think ne may prepare to render in his
final account, for he cannot stand every
thing if he has got an iron constitution
Here is the alley between Lynch and
Clisby in a bad condition; but Clisby is
building, and you know building is
littersome, and I suppose when he gets
through he will put it in good order.

are ever to leave Utah for religions sake,

KNIGHTS OF no


The following officers of Edgefeld
Lodge, No 1l9l, X. OIL, have been duly
installed to serve for the present terra
viz:
DicSa DIR. J. w. Hill
Vice DictatQr-Wns.J j. Griffin.
Asst D:ctatorAJohn B. Hill.
Reporter-Lewis P. Jones.
Financial Reporter-John L. Add
son.
Treasurer-A. J. Norris.
Chaplain-Rev. W. T. Hundley.
Guide-H. w. Tompkins.
Guardian-A. A. Clisby.'
Past Dictator-W. II. Brunson.
This lodge was organized by Deputy
Grand Dictator, R. o. Sans, about Sep
tember last, and since its organization
has been receiving rapid accessions to it's
membership and it now bids fair in
q very short while to run up its mum
beers to quite a large membership.
The order of the Knights of Honor
dates its organization only five or six
years back. In that short space of time
it has spread over the whole Union, and
now has a membership of at least
fifty thousand. There is a Grand Lodge
organization in nearly every State in the
Union, and a Supreme Lodge organiza-
ton which exercises a supervisory control
over the whole and unites the members
into n solid and harmonious brother
hood, extending from Maine to Califor-
mia. The most important feature in this
order and the one which has given il
such wonderful popularity is the insu.
rance feature. Each member is required,
when called on, to pay in one dollar as
an assessment for the widows and or.
phan's benefit fund. The Treasurer Of
the Lodge forwards this to the Supreme
Treasurer. Each assessment carries into
the Supreme Urea ury fifty thousand
dollars. Then, upon the death of a
member, his widow and children are
promptly paid the sum of two thousand
dollars. When the amount in the Su.
thousand dollars, another assessment is
called for, and thus no member ever has
but one dollar at a time in the hands of
the officers of the organization; the tund
is paid out as fast as it is received; no
investments have to be made; the ex-
penses as compared with other Insu
rance organizations are but a trife, and
there is little risk to be run on account
faithlessness and mismanagement by the
officers who handle the fund. The ex.
perience of the last two or three years
shows that the yearly assessments
amount to about eleven dollars. This
will be increased some two or three dol
lars in the year just past, on account Of
the yellow fever epidemic which, o.
course, caused an unusual increase, tenn
porarily in the death rate among the
membership. None are received into
membership, except such as are sound
in health, all have to undergo a careful
medical examination before being re-
ceived into the order. Members over
forty five years have to pay an additional
assessment. Persons over fifty years OF
age. cannot join the order except as hon.
orary members, in which case they dc
not get the benefit of the insurance fea-
ture.
