THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.

This chivalrous order established a
lodge in our city ten years ago under
the title OF Cumberland Lodge No IL.
On Wednesday night the 14th inst,
they invited the public to an enter
tainment in Elders Hall in celebra-
ton OF its decennial anniversary.
The entertainment consisted OF instru-
mental and vocal music and an address
from the Hon. Hugh G. Anderson OF
Jackson, Tenn. The vocalists were
the Misses LYNNE and Addie
Wilson, and Miss Bella Lieber,
Messrs. Burt Wilson, Sam Hodgson
and Ed. Carkuff, while Mrs. Carlisle
oficiated as accompanies and solo
pianist We were already acquainted
with the vocal merits of the lady
performers and Burt Wilson's splen-
did bass voice, but had never suspec-
ted Sam Hodgson of being a singer
and were the more agreeably surpris-
ed at finding him gifted with very
agreeable tenor voice and excellent
taste in the delivery of it. The gem
of the performance was the splendid
combination of voices in the quartet
"Come where the lilies bloom"
Mr.. Andreson's address was well
calculated to raise the order in the
estimation of the public as well as his
own reputation as an orator. He
commenced with the classical story
of Damon and Pythias, from which
the order derives its name. The
story OF the two friends of Syracuse,
old as it is, is ever fresh in interest,
and Mr.. Anderson told it with grace
and feeling. He then went on to
show that the order had carried out
the spirit of self devotion in brother
hood and friendship, to which they
are pledged by the example quoted, in
no niggard spirit He dwelt especial
ly upon the heroism of the band of
Knights who, when the pestilence was
raging in Memphis, remained at the
seat of infection and died to a man
while engaged in brotherly care OF
the sick and dying.
AT the close of the entertainment
those who had special invitations
adjourned to the empty store house
opposite to partake of an elegant BAN
quet of strawberries, ice cream, cakes,
etc. Well, as everybody could not be
invited we will not dwell upon the
luxuries there dispensed, for fear of
exciting the envy of those not favored,
but the Knights reputation for hos
pitality 'moulted no feather The
younger guests then returned to the
Hall and spent a pleasant hour or two
in social intercourse and dancing.
OF the order we know nothing but
good; it was originated in the dark
est days of the nation, when our ma
terial prosperity and social organiza-
tons had been shattered by the de-
stroying hand of war, and we firmly
believe that in its work of mercy and
loving kindness it has done more than
any other agency towards healing the
which then were bleeding.
Long may it flourish among us.

different parts of the city. A splen-

feet of fine hose pipe to the compa-
ny that could make the best time;
starting from a point on the Square,
and going to Dority & Herndon's
corner, 800 feet distant, running out
200 feet of hose, attaching pipe and
throwing water. The companies
all made good time, but No. 2,
Capt. Will DAILY, won the premium,
making it in one minute, throwing
water over the tops of the tallest
| houses.
