Freemason’s liep'-sitori/ comes to us in an improved form, being changed from a sixteen i o a thirty two page magazine. This is the beginning of the sixth volume of the Repository and the various improvements which have been made shows that the brethren of “little Rhody" are doing their duty in support of their Masonic organ.

Bro. G. AV. Clinton, son of the noted Mason, DeWitt Clinton, was the orator of the occasion. Under Dispensation from the Grand Master, vVayne Lodge, No. 112, Golds boro, N.

John Oailovitz, ol Florida, showing the location, date of organiza tion, time of meeting &c., of all the Grand Lodges on the. Globe. These statistics are compiled from the Annual Proceed ings and are presumed to be correct. There are in the United States and Can ada53 Grand Lodges of which Peunsvl- variiaisthe oldest, being oi’ganized June 20th, 1704, and North Carolina second, being organized January 14lh, 1771. So with all the Keystone's boasted first in everything Masonic the Old North State is only 61 years younger than Pennsvlva- nia. There are two Jurisdictions (North ern and Southern) of the A. & A. Rite in the Unitetl States, 26 Grand Lodges in Europe, 13 in lA.merica outside of the U. S, and Canada, and one in Africa ; ma king a total of 95 Grand Lod ges on the Globe. Th.i3 is, indee*], a valuaUe table -and shouhl be preserved for future refer ence. Promptns There Ls nothing i„ Masonry or 'e than business that is more' appreciai,) promptne,»s.

Carraway of Lenoir county, who had on exhibition a quantity of his prolific corn, which piro Prince Frederick, the Gr. Ma.ster of the Netherlands, was recently presented by the Cratt with a gold hammer set with brilliants. It was the sixtieth anniversa ry of his Gr, Mastership. Col.'

Ira Berry, Grand Re' corder, for a copy of the proceedings of the twenty-second Annual Assembly of the Grand Council, R, & S, M., of Maine hold at Portland, May 3d, 1876. There are twelve Councils in the State of which ten were represented. This is the most wonderful result of any of the cereals and is the result of patient and thorough experiment in hybridizing. Mr, 0. informed us that from one acre of very poor up land, without any ferliliza- tian. he gathered 40 bushels of this corn. This is indeed a grand result and is des tined to work a great revolution in corn growing. Every farmer should send fl to \\\ W. Caraway, Kinston, K. C., aud get a package and be convinced. Blood will tell—in corn as well as stock. A beautiful tablet or headstone, re^ eently purchased by the Masonic Fratern ity of Greenville, Me., was erected by them last week at the grave of an old In dian chief, Lewis Annance, a member of the Order, who died atthatpla.ee Decem ber 25, 1876.

The New York Square announces that it will hereafter be published monthly instead of weekly as heretofore.

ILirrv Buford, the famous Confederate suy and scout. Ihe rank ot Lieutenant was fairly won by gallant service and the faithful dis-- charge of important trusts. In this book of 600 octavo pages she has recounted her many dar ng exploits by land and sea, and interwoven them in to history, tfnuch ot which has never ap peared in print before. The strle of the work is spicy and intensely interesting and reveals a heroism and daring that might be envied by many an old regular. Coupled with this the lady carries the very best of testimonials Irom prominent gentlemen all over the country, who en dorse her and hei work in the most flat tering terms. ■ In addition to the merits of the book is to be added that of the lady's one desire to raise and educate her only son ; to ac complish which she has cast her lot with the people of our good, old State, Her husband was a member of our honored Craft in California, Nevada and New Mexico, and was buried with JIasonic honors in the latter, where he died, and we hope our Brethren will appreciate the effort,s of this faithful mother in behalf oflier only son.

Gr. Steward and Tyler.—Joseph T Guvrison, LauisvilJe. Renew.—Two week,s ago we sent out notices to all our subscribers whose time had expired, with the earnest appeal to them for a prompt renewal. Many of them have neglected to do so, and we must be candid and say that unless all are prompt in their smal remittaiioes ; (which to us aggregate largely) we can- I not succeed in our enterprise. Our ex- |pen.sesare large and in every instance strictly cash, and we must have our pay I J romptly as it falls due to enable us to j pay oiir own bills each week. AA'e hope I the Journal has become such a necessity I with all its readers that the desire for it's , continued usefulne.ss will induce each one due us to sit down and immediately in- clo.se us $1,50, If it is not all that you desire it help u.s to make it better by your promptness and kind co-operation. Let all. from the grand master to the Tyler of the youngest Lodge, feel that it is their paper and work lor it. Much; notw thstaiidingso much fiaj been said to the contrary. But we pro pose to refer to the doubtful practice that has obtained of naming Lodges after living persons beoau.-^e of their populari ty, or of selecting high-.souiiding Ma.soiiic- names, without taking the trouble to first look into their literal and ilasoiiic sig nificance. AVe object to calling lodges after liv- ing men because of the possibility, and sometimes pirobabilitv^, of the brother falling from his exalted Masonic and iner- al estate and bringing perpetual re proach upon the Lodge thus destined to hear his name down the vi.sta of time. It also reveals a partiality that, to our mind, is unmaspnic and liable to beget two great evils—jealousy on the part of ott-er equally good and zealous brethren and vanity in the brother thus singled out for special hoinr. Again, tnese fiersonal high sounding, jawbreaking names oftimes only serves to confuse rather than enlighten the brethren who live in other sections, and to a.scertain the locality of the Lodge.? thus wearing them a search must be made through the Grand Lodge directo ry—which is not always conveniently at hand. F’or these reasons we prefer local names something of a tangible character that will at once lead the inquirer to locate the Lodge by its name, or iieaily so, at least. To show the force of our reasoning let any one so inclined take up the Grand j Lodge directory of this, or any other I State, aud see how few of the Lodges bear j names by which their location can be de- I terrained. At the same time let them riot overlook the profuieness with 'which the j names of prominent men, Living and dead aud the miiltitude.s o.f liighflown titles ; grace the various Lodges, and 'oy which, without the directory itcould not be known whether the Lodge is held in the arctic seas or on the southern slope, of the moon. It is time to.cease this toadying non sense that give,s eclat nor virtue to the Lodge, but often brings a humiliation that a lifetime of regret cannot remove. .‘if! • mo iiiaiiiii ii'iaaemoii- i j'ttiiiit'iimii itisu luiiiiu Ills noi'se, neari^anTTrre,‘'T ^ 1
