Past Grand Messenger w. H. Frazier, of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge, has returned from
Topeka full of praises for the kindness he re-
ceived in the Suntlower State
The record made by Grand Representative
Stier in the Sovereign Grand Lodge in the short
time he has been member proves the wisdom
of the Grand Lodge in selecting him.
Deputy Grand Master Sherrett was unable to
attend the visitations during the past week,
and although anxious to do so in the future his
friends insist that he shall not expose himself in
the night air.
The ladies of Naomi Lodge No. 1, Daughters
of Rebekah, are making strong efforts to make
their fair at Odd Fellows Hall, commencing
the 10th of next month, pleasant and agree

and officers Of the Grand Lodge, it being the
first of the fall series of vsitatons to the several
subordinate lodges. The presentation of the
Degree of Truth for review by Grand Repre-
sentatyes NJ. ID. Brainard and Fred A. Stier
was rendered by the degree team of the lodge
in most excellent manner and drew from
both Grand Representatives the highest enco-
MUM. The books of Secretary Edwin II.
Harner were reported kept in the usual superior
manner, and from them was gathered the in
teresting and astonishing information of the
work performed by the lodge in the short space
of three months-siXteen limitations and thirty
six degrees conferred-the net increase in mem
bership since July being 131, and only four of
| this number owing over one quarters dues The
examination of the books of Treasurer George W
Wise was also very satisfactory, showing the
financial condition of the lodge to have increased
in the time referred to $264.40. Nine candidates
whose average age is twenty-seven and two
third years, became full members of the lodge
at this meeting. 1t is not to be wondered at
that Grand Master Kenny should feel proud of
the record of his lodge, which, as Grand Repre-
sentative Brainard said, has in seven years
emerged from very poor lodge to one in the
first rank. Grand Representative Stier also
! highly complmented the lodge in short but
eloquent speech. The programme of this lodge
! does not stop here. They have made arrange
ments for the purchase at once of the adjoining
lot to their hall, 2lx90 feet, and it is proposed
i TO connect the second floor of the building
thereon with the present lodge floor to be
utilized as a drill-room and for entertainments.
