New Lodge Organized.

_ A lodge of Redmen was organized here last night with about 45 members. It is the second lodge of this order in the county, we believe. providing the Gifford lodge, organized some years ago is still in existence. . In some parts of the state the Redmen are very strong, but it* has not been pushed very much in this vicinity. \ It was expected that 35 Ijtedmen would come over from Monticello and the team was to do the work. The organization took place in the Woodmen Hall, w'hieh will he shared by the new* order for their regular meeting place.

Simpson,* Chief of Records; Wm. Coen, Keeper of Wampum. • < It is a good order and we wish the new lodge success.
