Lodge. No. 8. A. o. U. W, had its newly
elected officers installed by Frank Law
renee, d. ID. NJ. W., assisted by a corps of
grand officers. This lodge has done re-
markably well the past term, notwithstand-
ing the heavy calls on its treasury in pay
ment of sick benefits, for which the sum of
S14S9 was expended. The sum Of $3.50 was
transferred from the General to the Bene-
fciary Fund, large amount OF which was
made IN paying assessments Tor members
living out of this city in order 10 keep them
in standing, as the heavy rains precluded
them from having remittances reach this
city. Although the treasury has been
heavily drawn upon. the General Fund
shows an increase OF over $3.50 during the
term, a credit to the management of the
officers. Only TWO members were Sus-
pended during the term aud four died,
while the increase in new material has been
considerable After the installation cere-
monies had been concluded addresses were
delivered by several of the prominent MEM
bers, all wishing 'Old Harmony" contin-
ued success, which it so richly deserves, as
its meetings are always interesting, its
members social and the good performed by
it second 10 no other subordinate in this
jurisdiction.
