committee of arrangements, has gone to
New Orleans to make final preparations for
securing the attendance of officers of the
Grand lodge, Knights Of Honor, at the
public installation of the officers of the
Donaidsonville Lodge next Tuesday even
ing.
Application has been made to the Grand
Lodge K. of p, for dispensation allow
ing Kenneth Lodge of this place to hold |
meetings twice month only, instead of |
weekly. Most of the members belong to
one or two of the other orders having |
edges here, and they find that it requires |
father too great draft upon their time to |
attend all the meetings regularly.
We have heard nothing further relative
% the proposed organization of a lodge of
he Catholic Knights of America at Don
sldsenville.
