was followed by their installation.
In his annual report b. f. Shakespeare,
the retiring grand patriarch, said "0ne
| year ago, when entering upon the duties
of grand patriarch, was in hopes that 1
would be able to report to you,at the end
| of my term of Office, marked advance
ment in this branch of our order, but this
I am unable to dc, lowing to various causes.
/ The business depression which has per-
vaded our jurisdiction, during the past
| year, has had its effect on our advance
| ment; another great cause is the want of
activity of members of the subordinate
encampments of our Jurisdiction, many of
| the encanipments outside of this city
being unable to hold their regular meet
ings, not being able to get a quorum for
that purpose. Yet, notwithstanding
these discouragements, our branch of the
order is still in healthful condition"

The arrival of two large freight
teams this morning in front of Sum-
merfeld Bros store, caused our re-
porter to pause while going the rounds
of the city for news. After waiting .
lew minutes he observed several large
packing cases being unloaded. This
excited his curiosity, and he repaired
to the interior of the store where he
found them being unpacked, and no
ticed that they were filled with boys
and mems clothing, which are espec-
tally suited for the holidays.
We also observed several cases
which contained full line of holiday
presents such as silk handkerchiefs,
plain hanikerehiefs, embroidered
handkerchicfs, initial handkerchieis,
and in TACT almost everything that il.
suitable for holiday presents. Mr..
Summerhcld stated to us that he had
employed force Of six extra clerks,
so that everybody could be waited
