After q time the old Good Templars'
hall over the electric light Office was
procured for $25 year, though some
OF the members thought that amount for
rent would bankrupt them, but we soon
began to take in the ladies. They
proved a very desirable adjunct.
Our next venture was to climb one
step higher by the renting OF the Sixth
Corps Post hall at a rental OF $50 a
year. As we continued to increase 10
numbers we thought another step up
would be good for US, so we moved to
the Custer Post rooms, staying there
four years until having outgrown the
use OF these rooms we rep,ed OF the X.
DIP. Some OF our members predicted
then that that would finish us for II
raised our rent to 500, but we still
continue to 20 higher.
Today we occupy hall rented by us
and sublet to two other organizations,
the X. OF p. and the Good Templars.
Tuesday night we initiated four candl.
dates, received two applications fol
membership and have 6ve applicants
