A COmmunIcaaIon,
G. W. Tippett,

G. W. TpPetf,
Dear Sir and Brother. Although
you were present at our Lodge
meeting on the 18th inst, I deem it
!. duty incumbent upon me as presi-
ding officer, to communicate through
the columns of your paper, to the
absent members of Point Pleasant
Lodge, No. 33. 1. o. o. F., and to
apprise them of the fact that we
were favored with the presence of
Grand Master Fought, of the Grand
Lodge of 1. o. o. F., of West yir-
ginia; and in his remarks upon that
occasion gave good and wholesome
advice that will ever be remember
ed by those who were present. 1
have frequently in the Grand and
subordinate lodges, seen and heard
the complication of the workings
OF the Order, and can say his rem
ditiOn was equal, if not superior to
any have ever heard. Very plain
and easily understood am truly
sorry all our members were not
present, as it is seldom we are hon
Ored with the presence of our Grand
officials.
The statistical report the Grand
Secretary of the Grand Lodge of
this State for 1887, shows that so
Lodges are at work in our State,
with u membership of about 1000
in good standing; and the various
Lodges have paid out for the relief
of brothers, widows families and the
education of orphans, burying the
dead and for special relief s14, 600.
Are not these interesting facts to
console the minds of the brethren
who may need the attention and re-
lief of this glorious old Order. All!
say old, although its SEVENTEEN
year has dawned upon US, it is but
just in it's infancy. This order has
grown and continues to grow very
rapidly. 1t is found not only in the
United States, but also in Mexico,
Germany, Australia, Cuba, South
America, Canada, the Sandwich
Islands, Sweden, Denmark and 9th
er foreign nations. This order has
now enrolled over SOC, 900 members;
its Lodges are to be found in nearly
every city town and village in the
land; it has an annual revenue of
over $4,000, 900; and discusses for
the relief of distress moro than 81
100000 annually
In conclusion, 1 extend to YOU as
well as other members of this Lodge
a hearty invitation to meet with us
every Thursday night, and all
Who may visit our town belonging
to the Order, will be welcomed to
our Lodge room.
Fraternally yours,
