70 The Masons of Mississippi,
who attended the recent meeting
of the Grand Lodge at Natchez,
made a trip to Vicksburg on the
steamer Gen. Quitman, by the
officers of which they were very
handsomely entertained. The N.
o. Picayune says of the incident:
Itwasright enough thatitshould
be SO, for Gen. John A. Quitman
was fifty years ago the first Grand
Master in Mississippi. The boat
which bears his name should take
part in the semi-centennial cele-
bration of the establishment of
that Grand Lodge.
