Society's cemetery.
Documents from Daggstt were the
only donations. A special vote OF thanks
was sent to Warrington to our Congress
man for remembering the Society when
oil others failed to do 20.
The WORE OF reading out for the non
payment Of dues then began. II vas Z
long, tedious job. and som OF the p.s'
men In the country went out under the
new Constitution and Bylaws. which
are arbitrary. Any member siI months
In arrears shall be Published BY the
President ct n meeting and DO read
ont the next II his dues m not paid. The
Old Boys have not left themselves any
discretion In the matter and last evening
did not seem to realize how they had
fsttered themselves until action began to
be taken. No notice eve TO dslin.
qusnts 10 required. Members are eI.
pected to take c~ognizanee Of the fact
that they are members and hence
must pay dues, and II they do mol
do 90 at the end Of six months they lose
membership and must be proposed anew
and pay anew their initiation fee to gel
their old position back again. Tho lisl
Of those read ont last night contained
29l names, which the Secretary wa
ordered to strike from the roll. This
leaves about atty working members
Some we're saved BY . personal friend al
the meeting who was q very present help
in time OF need and who walked mp and
settled the dslinqusuts' dues. This
would NO doubt have been done In almost
every case, but, alas! for II! the Old
Boys are poor and have all they can dc
generally TO put up for themselves. II
was sad to sec the struggle last evening
between their pockets and their hearts
but necessity 10 . bard master and In this
instance got the best OF those who were
really never conquered before. They
could open the way and lay the founda'
tions for the civilization OF the coast,
but they could not pay dues for thsi'
fellows, and 90 six went out for every
one left in the Society. II We except hon.
orary and life members.
