Pioneer Society.

The officials of the society held a
meeting recently and decided, after
careful consideration, for the best
interest of the society not to hold a
summer meeting.
The officials and many who are
deeply interested in the organiza-
ton, feel, that, as but few of the
pioneer settlers remain to this day,
their children should enlist in the
purely great interests of perpetuat--
ing,-keeping alive-the heroic
achievements of the pioneer fathers
and mothers. There ought not to
be any Of that reserve modesty on
the part of their children to do this,
who were so closely associated with
them in those peculiar environ
ments. They should have true
pride and quiet zeal in making men
tion of pioneer life and conditions.
The Pilgrims, the Colonial-the
pioneer forefathers and mothers
were the stamp Of character which
adds lustre and true granduer to the
race.
The meeting of our pioneer So
ciety is to learn from the lips of the
pioneers of the sacrifices, the diff
culties, hardships, privations, they
endured, and the victories they ac-
hieved. And not only that, but to
emblazon on the minds and hearts
of the people their true worth of
character and deeds; and also, to
impress the people with higher ap-
probation of the heritage they left
to us.
There are embodied in the pur-
pose of the pioneer society stirring
facts enough and duties sufficient,
to thrill and interest all in the an
nual meeting to be held the 22d Of
February next.
The officials are encouraged by
the increasing interest in the Shia-
wassee County Pioneer society.
