The list of members contains over 2,500 names ; of thcst; about 150 are life and stock 

 members, 330 are known to be deceased, and about 11(5 are sujjposed to have moved to 

 distant places. Only 1,181 members paid up thoii- annual dues last year; the balance 

 are three or more years in arrears. 



I think some other mode than the present ought to be adopted for the admission of 

 new members. It seems to me that under the present arrang-ement it is altogether 

 too easy to get in and out of the society, to have members fully appreciate its great 

 benefits or to become thoroughly interested in its continued prosperity. And in this 

 connection I would suggest a return to the note system,— notes to be renewed at the 

 end of a certain stated term of j^ears, and to be indorsed by a responsible person, who 

 would be holden for the payment of the interest thereon in case of failure of the maker.
