 Time accomplishes wonders and brings about great changes. It is true ly changing world. It was but a few years since that Masonry was supposed to be dead and buried beyond hope of resurrection in this town. The leading influences were bitterly hostile to the institution. This town furnished an anti-Masonic candidate for Ut Governor in the person of John M Holley, father of Gov Holley. He little thought that his beautiful grounds would be used as Masonic encampment, and that his grandson would be the Master Mason on that occasion. Why methinks if he is conversant with the transactions of this world, and especially of what the ma sons are doing here, his bones will rat tie in his grave and he will long for 8 resurrection that he might fight them to the bitter end. On the other hand how must the fathers of Masonry who died with cloud resting on their hon. ored institution, have rejoiced from their high seats of glory at the grand Centennial exhibition.
