Farmers sons are not apt to suppose
that they can only attain TO any coveted

trade or profession. They look about
and find the wealthy mon nearly all be-
longing TO these classes. They do not

ones come TO view; that for every one OF
these who has acquired wealth or distinc-
lion, ninety-nins others have failed and
disappeared, or have never risen to no.

ture and invited their lady friends as well
as their Masonic brethren to participate IN
the entertainment. The affair was made a
grand success By the presence OF some of
the officers OF the Grand Lodge and large

paet-grand master OF Virginia, made one OF
his most eloquent addresses. and was fol
lowed by Rev. A. W. Weddell. William B..
Isases, grand secretary, aud several OF the
visiting brethren. The occasion was en-
livened by some splendid music, consisting
OF solos, Duets, and cboruses, by a choir
OF ladies and gentlemen specially invited.
