lowing:
The Commander desires to congratulate the COM
rades upon the continued growth of the Order In
this Department. During the first and second
quarters of 1859, IL Posts were established
aud preliminary steps taken toward the otganiza-
lion OF others some of which have been formally
mustered since the beginning of the third quarter
OF the year. The net gain In this Department dur
ing the past quarter Is Sg3 I'm view OF tie fact that
a considerable number have been dropped for non.
payment OF dues, this gain is quite gratifying. In
this connection the Commander desires TO urge
upon Post officers the necessity of a better Bys.
tenn of looking after delinquent members than
usually prevails. Al each meeting IL Is well TO give
an opportunity for comrades TO pay their dues.
Those who fail behind should be notified of their
delinquency before the account has run until the
amount has become 80 large as To be burdensome.
