AVEYMOUTH . —Brother AA . Tucker , Esq ., of Cory ton-park , Axminster , has been appointed D . P . G . M ., for Dorset .

G . M . inadequately , or neglect his private concerns . AVe are confident that the whole Province will concur in an unanimous feeling of esteem to
the P . G .

The truly Masonic spirit which he has ever manifested , and his anxious desire ever to promote those charitable purposes which constitutes so distinguishing a feature of the order , will never be forgotten by the Brethren of the province , who hope that they may long rank amongst them so estimable and distinguished a Brother .

active duties of the province . " That an address be presented to Brother Edward Thomas Percy , Esq ., Past Deputy Provincial Grand Master , expressive of the regret of this Lodge , that the resignation of our late Provincial Grand Master
should also deprive this Lodge , and the province generally , of his able and valuable services as Deputy Provincial Grand Master ; hoping that he will , by favour of the Most High , continue his fostering care to this Lodge , established by him , in 1818 , so that it may continue to flourish , and assuring him of cur hearty good wishes for his health , happiness , and prosperity . "That a Committee of the whole Lodge , of which three shall be a quorum , are desired to prepare the said addresses , and to take such other steps as are needful on the occasion .
