Mr. French's work is to examine accounts and to explain the doc trines , of Masonary to the mem bers of lodges throughout the state. He found the accounts of the local lodge in fine order. Mr. French says that he has a peculiar interest in this lodge , for , fourteen years ago , as grand master , he organized this lodge , being the secretary. Since then it has grown steadily and he expressed himself as pleased in its growth and 'de velopment. The proposed telephone to the south country is rapidly becoming a reality. Nearly all the stock has been subscribed and estimates are being made as to the cost. The majority of estimates average be tween $70 and § 80 per -mile which is very reasonable.
