For one year the lodge will work under
the dispensation OF the Grand Lodge OF
Michigan, and alta proper time an appll-
cation will be made and the Uniform
rank will be conferred.

other landlord to better. i he work oi

and the Knights were Ia good trim Tor

appreciation of Mr.. LockW Gods efforts
Co please them.
The workings Of the order are the most
beautiful and cannot help but bc a bene-
Z nc to mankind 10 him a friend that lives
ON forever, always ready aud willing TO

principles OF love as shown by Damon
and Pythas, who were severly harfassed
! by Dionysious, the tyrant, three hum
dred years beiort the birth ~ Christ, but
vino remained steadiast under the most
/ lfNliB circumstances. ut HbblN - ~
! long one for q newspaper article, or 10

everyone. BE he Knight OF Pythias or
