Since its organization, the lodge has disbursed from its treasury the sum of $3,031.52, up to the 31st, 1873, for the relief of brothers, funeral benefits, educating orphans, and other charitable purposes. The smallest sum paid in any one year, four dollars, while the greatest amount paid in the same length of time, was $592.20. The resourses of the lodge on the 31st day of December amounted to the sum of $3,244.27. This is the oldest lodge in the county. Anderson lodge No. 131, has upon its record the names of A. E. Russell, S. D. Ives, S. S. Ellis, and Eli Franks, for- mer member of this lodge. The charter of Perkinsville lodge bears the names of John R. Boston, George Arm- strong, and M. C. Howard, of Pendleton lodge. Edwards lodge, No. 178, at Fortville, was organized by members entirely from this lodge ; some of which organized the lodge at McCordsville. While some again, set up for themselves, at Lawrence. Pendleton lodge, therefore, justly claims to be the great grandmother of lodges in this locality. The fol-

THE GRANGE MOVE IN MADISON COUNTY.
BELOW we give an account of the Granges as far as they have been received, giving date of charters, names of officers, time of meeting, etc.
We at first intended to give the names in full of this and others in the county, but soon found this almost impossible considering the space it would require. The above order has swept down upon us like an avalance. It is yet too soon to judge of its results. There is at the time of this writing about twelve hundred enrolled in the county, conse- quently as far as number is concerned, a formidable order. And if conducted on proper principles will certainly result

in good. There is a disposition of some to divert it from its original design, the elevation of the farmer, to that of degrading politics. This has been conducted by persons who have joined it with the hope of riding into office. These are designing men who have failed to be recognized as deserving men by the Democratic and Republican parties.
It is to be hoped that the honest thinking men will go back to the first intentions of the order. This done they will have a grand work before them, that of intelligent farmers meeting together to exchange ideas, to discuss the best way to plow and plant, raise the standard of agricul- ture; for certainly it occupies too low a position. If the order will apply itself to a labor of this kind, it will have done a good work. Better this than floundering in the pool of politics where some would drag it.

HISTORY OF
MADISON COUNTY SOLDIERS IN THE CIVIL WAR.
The author would do great injustice to the soldiers of the late war who went from Madison county, if he did not give their names a place in this work. A more extended notice would be given, but the number of them, and many other matters, forbid. We will, therefore, simply give the com- pany and regiment, date of muster, when and where wounded, when and where killed, when and where discharged. Of course there will be some mistakes among so many names. We copy from the adjutant general's report. In looking over this report, we find the names of some soldiers of this county, charged with deser- tion, which in some cases are doubtless correct, and properly reported. On the other hand, there are many who are not deserving of this grave charge. These have been set in proper light since, by the proper authorities, and have drawn their back pay, and some placed upon the pension roll. And for fear of doing anyone injustice, none will be reported as deserters, in this work. While we regard deser- tion as a grave charge, we are inclined to be lenient to the soldiers, some of whom doubtless left their comrades in the field without leave, expecting in good faith to return. In this way we are inclined to think the charge of desertion should be omitted, as we would rather ten would go free than charge one innocent soldier with this infamous act. Then with all honor to the boys in blue, we will try and place you all in the right roll of your country's defence.
