met st the usual hour Aug. 81, 1912.
A. N. Bowden N. G. presiding, with a
slim attendance Of brothers, said to be
caused mostly by brothers being ex-
hausted by strenuosity and company
occasioned by the fair.
The sick brothers were reported to
be about as last week.
One petition for initiation was pre-
sented and referred to an investigation
committee.
One application for the first degree
was balloted upon and elected thereto
but on account of the absence of nearly
all the workers in this degree, the
work was deferred until the next meet
ing, when it is hoped everybody will
be rested and will come and claim
their attendance.
The Putnam County Association of l.
o. O. F. Lodge will meet with Caney
Fork Lodge Buffalo Valley, on the last
Saturday night in this month.
L. o. 0. F. News Bulletin for
August has been received by this lodge
and distributed to the brothers.
Among other things it seems that
the Grand Secretary as well as subord'-
nate secretarie, is more or less worried
over carlessness or laziness of secre-
taries in sending reports for last term.
There is scarcely an excuse, except
sickness for the semi report be-
ing delayed two months. The lodge,
like an individual member to be in
good standing should pay its dues, (per
capita tax when due. 1t takes money
