NOTES.
The Chapter was in session one day
only, but transacted much important
business. This Grand Body, which has
been embarrassed by debt, is now entirsy
free from all demands against it's treasury.
To accomplish this, the delegates unani-
mously RENTED all claims for expenses in
attending.
The Grand Lodge occupied three days,
aud the proceedings were important, inter
esting and harmonious throughout. The
attendance was very large, and the good
people of Grenada entertained all very
bountifully.
The subject of establishing a Widows and
Orphans Home and Industrial School, elic-
tied earnest debate, but the Grand Lodge
not seeing the way clear to undertake such
costly enterprise just now, indefinitely
postponed it. The Grand Lodge, however.
voted the handsome sum of five hundred
dollars to the Protestant Orphan ASYLUM
at Natchez--its third annual appropriation
to that institution. The proposition for BIZ
ennial, instead of annual sessions, was de-
feated by large majority.
The next session of the Grand Lodge will
be held at Okolona, on the Sd Wednesday in
January, 1879, at IL o'clock A. M. The
Grand Chapter to convene on the Monday
previous.
