Agricultural Labourers, Cottagers, snd Farmers who comprise our membership there, hss been the distribution of 8556 16s, Sd.

asDividend, and the members have, at the present time 8592 14e. 2d. invested in the Society. We leave the foregoing figures aud

statements, which may be relied on as perfectly correct, to the honest judgment of any unbiassed mind. They need uo garnishing to

recommend the Society to all who wish to better their position, and make the most of their esrnmgs.

In order still further to promote the growth snd to spread the principles of Co-operation in the district of whiclr Liui:oln is the

natuzsl, as well as the Co-operstive centre, the Midland Sectional Board of the Co-operstive Union, with the sanction of the Congress

of 1882, propose to make this district s Sub-section. The Board have asked for, snd obtained the consent of your Committee to hold sConference at Lincoln on August 19th, st which representatives from the neighbouring Societies, snd from our own, wiB be invited

to discuss the details of the arrangements. Most of the leading Co-operators in the Midland Section sre expected to be present, asthe Central Board Meeting will be held here for the first time on the same dsy as the Conference. We beg to call your attention tothis, snd to enlist your earnest co-operation, trusting that the result of the Conference msy be renewed effort on the part of sll to

iThe duties devolving upon us yearly become more arduous, and iu their faithful discharge we need the earnest support of themembers, ss well ss their thorough confidence: in the future even more so than in the psst. We do not look on the immediate ad-vantages of our Society to its members, iu increasing their incomes, as the sole reason for joining us, but we look ou Co-operation ass means by whish the mass of the population may accumulate capital without feeling burdened by the process, since the saving ismade out of what, if they did not lay by for themselves they must pay to some one else. Our main object will be to make the re-serves of the Society stmng, so that it may do its work better as its growing importance becomes more marked. We speak thusbecause it is plain to us that the rapidly increasing surplus capital will demand our best judgment to dispose of it profitsbly to theSociety. Hitherto we have successfully planted Branch Stores iu districts where they were needed, and this hss been a profitableoutlet for our Capital, because nearly all these businesses sre carried on in Freehold Properties, purchased with money lying idle at thetime of their purchase. B further extension in this direction be needed in any neighbourhood, members sre requested to take steps in sbody, to bring such want before us, when it shall receive our best attention, and a Branch shall be opened if we consider the require-ments of the members snd the interest of the Society wifi be best met by taking such a course. We should all bear in mind that s BranchStore, ss well ss being s great convenience to existing members, always causes en increase of membership, end that the Co-operativemovement, is above all things, wide-reaching snd universal in its sympathies. Let each of us therefore, whether in otfice or out of oifiee,do our best to perfect and extend our organization and not shut ourselves up and wrap the mantle of selfishness about us because weazedoing well. Let us beware of anything whish msy tend to narrow the Society down to individualism, for this is against the vezy prhteiples under which we sre incorporated; —against our old and well-tried mottoes; —snd this alone has menaced the very existence ofSocieties greater snd more powerful than our own.
