lightened.
The speaking was concluded by Mr..

the benefits which might come from old
line companies, was of the opinion that
societies of which Mt. Vernon lodge is a
type were better within the reach of the
plain people of the country. An invita-
ton was then extended by the presiding

ments which were afterwards dispensed.
