every member will be present on this inter
esting occasion.
Under the laws governing the knights of
Pythias the nomination of officers for each
semi annual term may be made either the
night of the election or at the preceding
meeting. At Thursday evenings meeting
of Kenneth Lodge the matter was preached
and it was decided to hold both nomination
and election next Thursday, the 9th inst,
and the Keeper of Records and Seal was di-
rected to give notice thereof by postal card
to each member of the Lodge. The bust
ness to be transacted demands full at
tendance, and worthy Knights should gov
ern themselves accordingly.
Having nominated candidates for its va
rious offices at last weeks meeting, Lee
Lodge No. 6, A. 0. q. W., will hold its an
nual election next Tuesday, the 25th inst.
Workmen are urged to make point of at
tending. The officers to be chosen Tues
day will be installed at the first meeting in
January, which will be held on the 9Th of
that month.
Like the other secret orders, the Ameri-
can Legion of Honor elects officers in De-
cember, and Ascension Council No. 836
will hold its annual election this evening"

the beneficiary certificates held by her hus-
band as member of the Donaldsonville
