The Mound City Mutual Life Insurance
| Company being a Home Institution, it should
| be preferred by citizens of the South for ma
ny reasons. We will however, enumerate
only two or three.
1. The money invested in It is retained at
home, where it assists in promoting Western
and Southern trade and mmer in build
ing up towns and cities. in developing our
rich mineral and agricultural resources, i'll
building our great lines of railroad, and in
cnltivating our boundless p~rairies. For these
reasons Southern and Western men should
insure in it.
2. As its funds are all invested where high
rates of interest prevail, it can grant insurance
cheaper and pay better dividends than any
Eastern Company. For this reason all per-
sons desiring to make a certain and safe pro-
vision for their families. should insure in it.
3. Its Local Board OF Louisiana Directors
being composed Of men of high standing in
the community. is a sufieifat Gearantee that
widows and orphans will be provAested IN their
rights, when policies issued by t. Company
mature by reason of death or othAa$sise. This
feature is peculiar to this comps; ", Gao other
institution beyond the limits of 80 Safe hav-

A circumstance in the history Of this
lodge, deserving special notice On this
OCCASION is the fact that for i period Of
eleven consecutive years-from 1916 to

Of FIVE Of It's members. 1t Is unneces.
sarg, and perhaps injudicious, ID notice
Ia detail the causes Of this unhappy PEE
Rod ID your lodge history. It is srhi-
eient to- say thar il was caused partly by
The truitless attempt Of some Of the
Aflerican brethren to organize d new
lodge, and partly By d private difference
Between two 81 tie brethren which e.
nally involved their respective Masonic
friends. The consequence Of this UNI
happy state Of adaifs was tlsat during
the entire period already named, the
lodge did no work, and held no comrsu-
nications except oace eyery three
months. and then only the ave faithful
brothers were present. Their names a.

of the minutes Of your lodge, Is on 4 roll
of honor. They were Bros. Pierre III.
once Hebrard, Chretisn Morhninvsg,
