TARIES.

County Secretaries who have not re-
ported, will please do so at once. am
obliged to make a report to the National
Secretary and cannot do so until I get
the reports from the counties. Please
send at once. Hereafter hope the County
Secretaries will report within the first two
weeks of the quarter. l hope you will
collect the National dues and forward as

more prompt.

in our State. Let US not hinder its work
by any negligence or hardness on u
part. Fraternally,
