            Last night the Home celebrated the tenth anniversary of the establishment o the order in this city.  There was a pleasant entertainment of speech making, singing, etc.  The society now numbers about sixty members in good standing.  Four years ago they bought the old court house and some lots.  Within that time they have spent in repairs, improvements and the cost of building and lots some $1,300, and they owe $300 to be completely out of debt.  They also have about one hundred dollars in the treasury.  They have spent over $100 on their library the past year. Their sick benefit fund has also been drawn on more heavily the past season than at any year since the organization.
