of Fl. officers will be elected for the enssl-
ing year, and q full attendance of the
members is particularly desired The
meeting will take place on Tuesday, the
10Th inst, at Hook and Ladder Hall
The new officers will be formally in
stalled at the first meeting in January,
and it is probable some entertainment
will be devised i'll connection with the
ceremony Several mont tbs ago we heard
the suggestion made that it would be
good idea for the lodge to engage Prof
Geo Saule or some other prominent
gentleman TO deliver Il public lecture
here on the character and purposes of
the mutual benefit assoc tatiou anpro-
prtateiy entitled Knights of Honor. and
the proposition impressed Us favorably
Snch a lecture would no doubt attract 4
large audience, and It's effect would be
beneficial to the interests of the order in
general and to those Of the Donaldson
willie lodge III particular.
