One of these branches of Arthur‘s activities and the same applies generally all over the prov~ ince, which is now regarded from a different point of view, is society insurance. Twenty years ago, Arthur seems to have had almost every fraternal insurance society that was on the go, and they all had their enthusiastic members. Thelr meetings, judging from the reports published, were well attended .The list of their officers was always handed to the editor and fraternal insurance was regarded as one of the splendid institutions of society in general. changes, Mr. Sturdee stands se - ~ ’ .
