bill as passed, incorporating this new associ-

him to the honorable and cnerous position OF
treasurer and left him In charge OF the old shop.
So anxious were the.promoters to extend the be-
Bign benefits OF temperance and friendship that
the doors OF the society were thrown open to
any and TO all who were willing to pay the
nominal fee OF one dollar In token OF pay
ment OF the fee the member received ticket
upon which were the numbers from one TO
twenty inclusive. When moved By one OF the
