SpreeheT. 1t is with feeling Of deep regret that
IT becomes necessary 70 announce that once hon
Ored brother OF this Division, Il. J. Smith Of Camp
No 10, has been tried by cOuTtnartial for misap-
propTlatlng the funds Of the Division and other
wise betrayin the trust reposed in him the time
OF his installation as the commanding officer Of
this Division, and sentenced to dishOnorabls dis
charge. The COMMANDMENTS Chief has approved
the sentence, and the same IS herewith prOmui-
gated. FIRST Sergeants viii make proper entry in
biaek-boOks. The Division is not increasing nu-
merieally as fast il should, and the only cause
that can be assigned is apparent indifference
which seems to have taken hold Of our member
ship. There Is no time like the present. aud every
brother should make 1t his ambition &c muster at
least one recruit IN the present year, and by the
eonsammation of that resolve incite others 20 re-
newed activity. There IS no brother 50 occupied,
no matter what his position IN lie but that he can
give slight portion of his time to the Order.
