 For long time the proper celebra- tion of our tenth anniversary as a per manent organization has been contem- plated But owing to the duties which have accumulated and made demands upon our time, the celebration which should have occurred November IA, 1894, was deferred and no action taken until the regular monthly meeting in December, when a committee was ap- pointed to take charge of the matter, A duty recognized and we'll performed is pretty sure of success, as was demonstrated at the polls in November and again in December. Now that the political atmosphere has cleared, and we find time to rest upon our arms. we are in a position to look with an-I ticipation towards a fitting celebration of our anniversary and results of our last, well fought and successful bat ties.
 We have been in existence for more than ten years, and the struggle has been against adverse circumstances, that have tested the fidelity of all our members. We have never lost sight of the handspring of our origin as a club, and that was, protection to American homes, American industries and Ameri- can citizens, whether at home or abroad. We started with tens, now we have hundreds upon our rolls, at first few doing all the work, now scores of willing hands, then, with success to be achieved, now with victory on our banners. DO" |
 In viewnlof the vote of the' club and duty placed upon us, we, your com mittee, have secured Banquet hall as a place adequate to our needs, and | selected Tuesday, F'bruary 12, Lincoln's ! birthday, as a fitting time for our cele- bration. A banquet will be served, fol- | lowed by music, singing, and speak | ing, all of which has been largely de- | veloped in our club. We wish to make | this memorable occasion, one long | to be remembered. Every member of the organization is expected to be | present, and the committee hope to be called upon to set plates for one | thousand persons.
