Yesterday our city was in holiday at
! tire in honor of the Grand Court OF the
Ancient Order Of Forresters OF America
which is now in session in this city.
The most of the delegates arrived on
Monday evening, but there were some
who did not get here until yesterday
morning. The hall OF the local lodge,
is nicely decorated. The meeting was
called to order about 10 o'clock and
most OF the day was taken up in organ
izIng, previous to the regular order OF
business being taking up. Delegate
Myrdam Davis OF Court Ohio Valley, OF
this city and MIR. Wilson OF Court,
Pride of Belmont, OF Bridgeport, on be-
half of their respective Courts, present
ed each delegate with a handsome
badge. After the presentation OF the
badges the thanks Of the Grand Court
was extended 10 the two Courts by a
rising vote. The badge itself is an ele-
CANT souvenier and as fine q piece OF
work as we have seen in that line and
the delegates may well be proud to
wear them. Last evening the dele
CATION attended grand concert at the
Opera House, given by the Melpo-
