Order of Free and Accepted Masons , during a period of forty years , joined the New Lodge , and is cheerfully co-operating to render the Athy Lodge second to none in the province . To the zeal , Masonic talents , ancl indefatigable exertions of Brother Yates , now the W . Master of the Carlow and Athy Lodges , may be ascribed the revival of Masonry in the county Kildare ; and it is gratifying to find , that its head-quarters are established in the town belonging to the respected
Grand Master of Ireland , his Grace the Duke of Leinster . Both the Noble Duke and the Marquis of Kildare , who has been lately honoured with the highest Order of Masonry , feel a deep interest in the success of this excellent Institution , and we hope on a future occasion to be enabled to record our approbation of the skill ancl scientific attainments of our Kildare Brethren , as affording another to the many proofs of the beneficial results of Brother Yates' Masonic Government , ancl we hope
