THE SONS OF ST. GEORGE
An Enjoyable Banquet Given by the
Society Last Evening
Sixty-Seven Members and Their Friends Sit
Down to a Royal iRepast-Something
of the Society

The Sons of st. George had a most
pleasant and enjoyable time last evening
at Eiks' hall, on South Main street.
Sixty-seven members and their friends
sat at the festal board and partook of a
banquet. This was followed by an infor-
NAL program of toasts, songs, music and
recitatlons, which lasted until far into the
night.
The local lodge of the society of the Sons
of St. George was recently divided into two
organizations, for one purpose only. That
was to increase the membership of the Or
der. The members of both divisions of the
lodge have been assiduously at work for
some weeks obtaining the names of gen.
tlemen who were eligible to join and Sc
curing consent to present their names.
1t was agreed that the division present
ing the smallest number of names should
give banquet to the division presen ing
the largest number. The defeated divis-
ion gave the banquet and Its attendant
pleasures last evening.
1t was 10 p. IN. before the repast was
concluded, and 1t was a royal CID English
feast. After that came the informal toasts.
Nearly every gentleman at the board res
ponded to some toast OF sentiment. Presi-

scalded Saturday night. Mrs. Hetz was in
the act of preparing bath for the children
and had filled the tub with hot water. She
turned for an instant to start the cold

tumbled into the scalding water. The
mother, alarmed by his cries and those OF
the other children, turned and hastily
pulled him from the water but too late as
he had been burned so severely that he
