CampbellsyiIle On the ThIrd.

Bug9leS. 1918 POUNDS morse ueS4i,
16 inches whip lash, and a few
French prayers for the road over
seers. carried US to q point whence
the city Of Campbellsyille '.loometh

all holds go and slid in, fetching up
in that delightful grove near the
Church where

With lights and shadows quiYer,n
and looked around us. The first
thing we saw was another chap set
ting up to the very girl we went
there to interview. That was the
least interesting sight We witnessed
during the day. Giles, Maury, Lin
coin, Marshall and Lawrence coun-
ties had poured in a multitudinous
host-perhaps eighteen hundred in
ALTO witness the interesting eere-
monies and help the hospitable peo-
pie of Comprehensive and vicinity
to eat up their surplus.
At12 o'clock the Masonic pro-
eession, composed Of the Grand
Officers, Campbellsville, Lgnnville
and Pulaski Lodges, emerged from
the room formerly occupied and
marched, under direction of Maj.
H. C. BATE, Grand Marshall, to the
new Hall, which was duly dedica-
ted. This done, the body moved
to the grove designated for the In
stallation and Grafton. Here Gen.
Jxo. c. Brown, Grand Master. in
stalled the officers elect of the
Campbellsville Lodge, with the as
sistance ofD. G. Master, G. C. ABB
ERNArHY and @. Wardens, H. F. Ew
ING and JNo. G. LESTER. Among
the officers installed we noted SAM.
YoKEIEY, W. NJ, DR.. HERBERT, S.
w, j. C. ALTERNATELY, Treas, ]. E.
Cook, Sec'y, DR.. CAMPBELL and j.
BITTIcK, Deacons, and THos. WELLS,
Tyler. The names of the j. War
den and Stewards we failed to get.
We forgot to say that your worthy
City Marshal, JNo. MARTIN, Esq'r,
| (better known as Capt. Bragg was
on hand and-with the assistance
of his son WILLIE-carried up his
corner in his peculiarly inimitable
and dignifed style. Only those
who have witnessed Masonic in
stallations can realize their solem-
nifty. On this occasion the efficient
| G. Master rather added interest to
a rite whose sublimity has for cen
turtles challenged the admiration of
the civilized world. Next came the
Grafton of Maj. THos. NJ. JONES, of
our city, who was followed by Gen.
BRowN. These gentlemen spoke
near half an hour each, and ably
sustained their regulations as ora
tors, displaying a keen insight and
appreciation Of the true aim Of that
noble institution, founded by King
Solomon, whose existence can never
be thing of the past so long as
reason reigns and Heavens edicts
are respected.
Then came dinner, (the most in
teresting part to your humble ser
vant-aftcr that setting up matter.
Six tables, each perhaps a hundred
feet long, were surrounded by rope
which enclosed near two acres
! Efficient Marshals were in attend
ance to see that all were provided
for, and the ladies and Masons en-
tered the enclosure, while the crowd
was requested to enter in double file
and march to the tables. With a
little exeeption-in that few for
! got the respect due our hospitable
entertainers and rushed pelI-mell
through the opening-excellent or
der was maintained. And that din
ner! If Peters vision displayed a
/ greater variety, we can't sec where
the overplus came in at. None Of
your barbecues, with raw meat, vir-
digris pickles and wasp-nest bread;
but a regular old-fashioned basket
dinner, with all the modern i'm
! provements-such as carried us
back to those good old days when
camp meetings were in vogue, when
fifteenth amendments were I'M
known, when State Banks were at
par, and when "gingy cakes tasted
sweet and sold for five cents.
The affair was a success; Camp
bellsville is 4 success; that country
is a success. They have the neat
est Academy, country Lodge and
/ Church within our knowledge
They have nicer farms and more of
them, better victuals and more of
them, and prettier girls and more Of
them than any people ever visited
by GoOBER.
