| Clippings from that journal:
| Charles w. Harwood, grand regent OF
| Virginia, was born In that State and
| served In the war In the famous How
] itzer Battalion, and at It's close moved
| with his family 10 New York, where he
| spent several years In mercantile pur-
| suits and was also for time with the
| New York Central railroad. He was
| travelling agent for the Atlantic Gulf
railway. and then with the Piedmont
Air Line. He returned to Virginia in
connection with the Richmond and Dan
ville and still holds the position Of It's
soliciting agent.

Council OF Richmond. and on entry to
the Grand Council was elected sentry.

humor and repartee, he is In great de-
mand at meetings, his earnest, effective
and at times eloquent words arousins

work left him TO carry on by that noble
leader and associate. Brother Irvine.
AS n business man he is sought after
and his firm convictions as 10 duty and

him the title Of "Old Reliabe": as

The greatest amount of work in our
order is done In the months Immediately
preceding our Grand Council sessions
and doubtless many will say 1t is for
political preferment. Doubtless II is,
and for the balance OF the year these
members will practically be In the same
position as the trsmp-wsiting for an
other Grand Council session and work
for the three months previous.
There are thousands OF good workers
in our order. however, who never ask
or push forward for any office, and TO
them the order owes a debt of gratitude
as winter or summer they keep on in the
good work. encouraging the officers and
members Of their councils to do likewise
and filling up the gaps made by suspen-
sions and death.
The right hand should always be ex-
tended and kind words Of welcome given
whenever we met a member Of our grand
organization. Don't hesitate 10 speak to
an apparent stranger. for you may find
In him friend and brother who may be
Of great assistance TO you, especially II
you are away from home.
