the visitors throughout, from the time of their
arrival until the departure for home. OF his

highest terms of grateful regard. The five
Masonic bodies from this jurisdiction who were
represented in the guard of honor will probably
adopt suitable resolutions of thanks to be ex-

sizes extended their representatives while in that

We are informed that Past Grand Master
George E. Emmons severed his connection with
Union Lodge No. II, which meets in East
Washington, and as he resides in the northwest
section of the city he found it difficult to at
tend his lodge as he was wont to do. The ac-
tivity, zeal, and ability displayed by Bro. En-
mons in lodge, eDcampment, Grand Lodge,
Grand Encampment, and Grand Canton made
him a high and shining light in each of those
bodies and he was rapidly promoted and re-
ceived the highest honors of the order, having
reached the distinction of Grand Master and
colonel of the Chesapeake Regiment. 1t is
not known which lodge he will now connect him
self with, but the lodge receiving him will have
valuable member.
