ANOTHER HONORARY MEMBER w.R.c.
DEAR Tribune: On Oct. IL an article ap-
peared in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE in regard
to honorary members in the w. &c, which
says there are only four; viz, Mech. Lineban,
Tanner, and Lawler, in all the Departments.
Yonr informant is in error. Nebraska is to
the front in that line and presume Sister
Brad will feel grieved whom he sees the
article.
Comrade Brad P. Cook. of Lincoln, is an hon.
orary member of this Department, and has
been for eight years. He is an honor to the
Order, and always on hand, ready and willing
to aid as in the grand work.
Nebraska is more than holding her own.
We are having calls for aid from drouth suf-
ferers in the western half of the State.
