THE NEW GRAND OFFICERS.
Col Harmon. the new grand chancellor,
NAV now be properly considered the most
prominent Pythian in the state, as well in
fact as by title. He has long held leading
positions of one character and another in
the order and has devoted much time to its
upbuilding. AS colonel of the regiment of
the uniform rank he has been especially
prominent, and the steady growth OF the
uniform rank is largely due to his efforts.
Grand Keeper Of Records and Seals
Leopold is another Savannah knight whose
labors for the order continue to meet with
due recognition. He has held Office in the
grand lodge for several years.
Grand Vice Chancellor r. w. Hunt Of
Augusta is one of the most popular secret
society men In the state and is il position
to do the order a great deal of good.
Savannah's strength in the order was well
recognized. She secures three Of the grand
lodge officers, the third being Charles A.
Cox, the new grand master Of exchequer.
The other grand lodge officers elected are
all good men, and Of high standing in the
order.
Macon made a strong bid for the next
annual session. The invitation to the Gem
trial City was Endorsed by the mayor and
council, and a long list of knights
and their friends. Another inducement
was that the knights Of Macon are
now erecting q new castle hall, which will
be completed by the time of the next annual
session, and it was deemed extremely APP
propriate that their new headquarters be
formally dedicated by the assembly of the
knights OF the state.
