CITY NOTES.

PALATKA LODGE.
There are men in our fraternity who never |
come TO Lodge,
And whose claims we can't resist for we have |
them on our list;
But if their names were stricken of, as far as
we can judge,
They never would be missed, they never
would be missed
They cannot give the password. and do not
know the sign,
And of the Orders good or i'll they never read
line;
They growl about assessments and they nate
10 pay their dues.
And every cal for charity they stubbornly
refuse.
If all the Brothers were like these the Lodge
could not exist
And they never would be missed. they never
would be missed.
There were no cases before the mayor
