 new members; 6 never qualified by payment of dues; 11 re- 
 signed, and 1, Osceola C. Green, has died, leaving a membership 
 of 92 at the close of the second year, classed as 91 active and 1

 nated Records of the Columbia Historical Society ; volume 1, the 
 first, comprising pages 1 to 54, and the second, pages 55 to 118. 
 
 Though the Society has not grown in numbers during its 
 second year, we feel that it has increased in importance and has 
 excited a deeper interest in its members. Plans are under discus- 
 sion for an historical exhibition early in the ensuing year.
