CHINA.
The officers of Harlem Lodge, No. 80, A.
o. U. w., of South China, were installed
last Saturday night, Jan. ~, by District
Deputy Weston Lewis of Augusta. Here
we find lodge with a membership of
over 100 workmen composed of young
men full of energy and public spirit. The
lodge was instituted less than ten years
ago and by good management on the
part of the members, it has financial
standing to which all may point with
pride. The installation was public to
the members families and large degree
of success enjoyed by this lodge is due to
the interest which the ladies take in its
welfare Remarks were made by the dis
trict deputy +. W. Boynton and Others
after which bountiful supper was served
and the congenial and social manners ex
emplified by the brothers and their wives,
evening. After supper an entertainment
consisting of stereopticon views of,
martyred presidents, illustrated by Mr.
Wyman, showing the assassins, commit
ting the deeds, their arrest conviction and
execution. We look upon Harlem Lodge
as being one of our thrifty and progressive
lodges extending at all times, cordial
welcome, to visiting brothers. The late
DIR. Perkins was one of its charter mem
bers and judging the character of its
members from that departed brother, the
order is reaching out the hand of protec-
ton to some of the best families in China.
