On Thursday evening Wheeling

lodge room full of brethren to assist
him in comforting degrees on candida
ties. one of which we think will be the
NJ. NJ. degree.
On Thursday afternoon at 4:45 the
officers and members of Nelson Lodge,
No. 80. accompanied by the brethren
of sister lodges of the city, vicinity and
other parts of the jurisdiction, will
leave on the long looked for visit TO
Pittsburg. to be the guests of the
brethren of Western Pennsylvania, to
see the NJ NJ. degree conferred by
Lodge 40. and to attend a banquet at
the conclusion of the ceremonies, and
from indications there will be at least
$50 to go on the special train from
the Pan Handle depot when it leaves.
Those who 80 must be prompt in COM
ing to the depot, so as to get their
tickets early, for the train viii not
wait for any one. but will leave
promptly on time. Tickets will be
sold for that train only to Master Ma
NOuo. Il clt gA.bO III lONllu u ~ anu
will allow a person to lay over and
come on any of the regular trains
next day
On F. day evening the MOBILES Of
Osiris Temple will hold meeting for
work at Arion hall, and large num-
Der of pilgrims will start upon the
camel over the desert sands, and we
can guarantee their journey will be
made most pleasant by the noble
workers of Osiris. and on their return
will reward them by sumpetous feast.
From indications there will be a good
attendance of the members present
from all over the jurisdiction.
Week before last Grand Lecturer JOS
eph Hall spent three days in Weston
most pleasantly among the Royal Arch
Masons, in communicating to them the
work of Capitular Masonry, and he
found the Companions most attentive
to. for they left their business and re-
ceiyed instructions from early morn
till low twelve. but their labors were
rewarded for they can now communi-
cate the work in an intelligent and
correct form.
