much more impressive manner than here
tofore. The question OF Il Grand Court
Funeral Fund was for the first time
brought before the IDENTITIES. aud all
agreed that the next Grand Court Con-
vention should act upon it. Events of
great financial importance have come to
the surface lately, which attracted the
attention of the deputies, and after con-
siderable discussion the matter was tenn
porily settled by the appointment of u
committee TO dissect the present luw OH
the subject. revise it and present it to the
deputies at their next meeting. When
the details OF the workings OF such a fun
eral fund nave been perfected to the best
of the AGILITY of the deputies, they will
then be submitted to the courts for con-
sideration. aud will then come mp in
regular form at the convention. The
delegates will, by this means, be en-.
abled to know just exactly what is
a great saving of time, wine and discus
sion will be the result. Several other
matters of interest were on the taDls, and
1t was quite late when the meeting ad'
journed TO meet on Wednesday, Novem-

meeting on Monday night. Every mem
Der of the court who is not legally ex-
cused should be present.
Now that the elections are over Tor
nearly SOY, it is hoped that the attendance
at the various court meetings will I'M
prove. M
Look out for the Grand Court ball next
mouth. 1t will be something immense.

Court Enterprise was instituted on
tuesday night in as much style as the
elements would permit. A grand time
was expected, as a parade had been
planned, but rain, and such rain, put q
camper on the outside affair. inside,
however, everything went merry as a
marriage BELL" and it WAS late, or early
rather, when the boys found their way
home.
The matter of a Grand Court Funeral
fund should be taken into serious con-
sideratiou by every Court in the State.
IG is a matter that has u strong" financial
interest ior every member of the order.
Tie Capitalization of funeral funds in an
organization like Forestry has been tried
and found very advantageous by other
organizations, and recent events prove
very conclusively the fact that with a
Grand Court Funeral Fund some OF the
courts would not be in the straits they
are i'll at present. There are several ways
of perfecting the scheme and there is
ample time TO discuss every phase of it
between now and mex May when the
convention meets in Elizabeth. Some, of
course. will be for 1t and others "agin'' it,
But by all means it should be talked over.
