They were not particularly happy lot
In Enterprise Lodge Thursday evening af-
ter the keeper of records and seals read
the appointments OF Grand Chancellor
Andrew Mcknzie, for IL was then learned
that Enterprise lodge had been forgot
ten, or overlooked, by that oignitary, for
he had not seected representative to oc-
cupy any position on his board or among
his many committees, and that Enter
prise Lodge was the only lodge in the
city that was not SO represented. 1t was
suggested by one of the more jovial past
chancellors that perhaps Enterprise
Lodge might for the present year get per-
mission to connect itself with the Grand
Lodge of Massachusetts or Connecticut,
and then it, would not seem quite so
dreary. The greater part of the members,
however, think that they can stand the
ovrsight, which it undoubtedly is.
