Five years ago the Masonlo lodge
pnrehaaed the temple lu which they

the treasury. During this period of

DrooiDtlv met, interest paid and prln
ciDal reduced. The record Is one to be
Droud of. and likewise worthy of emu
lation by other societies of the town.
The hall will probably be dedicated at
some date in the near fucure, at wnicn
time we will comment at greater
length.
In the spirit of all kindness we
call attention of parents to some of
their boys who are not behaving as
they should. One evening recent
ly, while at church services, the
noise by the children in the build
ing and out-doors rendered it al-
moet impossible for the preacher to
SDeak or the audience to hear. At
another church here a large crowd
of boys assemble every Sunday
evening on the outside, and this
wouldn't be so bad if they only kept
quiet, but we have seen the ushers
leave the room on several occasions
to quieten the disturbance. Anoth
er inexcusable act is coming into
church after seryices have com
menced and filing out a few minutes
later. Here on Main street the
other evening a number of boys
were shoving and pushing each
other until one went through a
pane of glass and in two minutes
afterwards the streets were desert
ed. Let the matter be corrected
now, for it is understood the dis
turbances were brought to the at
tention of the authorities who say
they will make an example of
someone if it isn't immediately
stopped.
