Rutland.
Rutland possibly has larger number
of secret societies than any other town
of its size in the country. These frater-
mites have done many acts of good IN
the community in the relief of the dis
tressed, in the hour Of misfortune and
illness the burial of the dead and the
care of the widow and the orphan. This
il limited workout in the broader field
of the world, thSy have accomplished a
mission of fellowship and humanity.
The various fraternal institutions have
had a beneficent influence toward modi-
fying and removing the unpleasant feel
ings that existed between the people Of
the North and those who live South OF
Masons and Dixons line. When that
dread scourge, the yellow fever, made
its appearance in Memphis, in 1879,
When strong men were dying every
hour and death reIgned in their homes,
the presiding officers of the several fra
ternities came to their rescue. 1t was
in the true spirit of fraternity, that their
brothers were suffering and in want and
they extended the helping hand, and
from such acts there has grown up in
the South better feeling and old ami
mosities are gradually being wiped out.
