people were at their back as is evi |
denced by the support they have given |
during these entertainments With |
such sympathizing neighbors as these |
there is nothing but success ahead !
Their uniform fund is becoming some |
what large. The Sir Knights from
ShockOe Hill are respectfully invited
to patronize these entertainments and
assist in uniforming this division.
We cannot see why the minutes OF
last session have not as yet come t.
sight. Any one wishing to receive in
formation along this line would do wei
to adore SIS a communication to Dr. VIM
Troy, 7l3 Glasgow ST., Portsmouth,
Va. One reason for referring you t.
this source is because DR.. Troy is q
*. of X. and S., and is in position t.
know. We have been asked this ques-
ton by several and think it best that
all concerntd should know the address
of the proper authorities.

The entertainment given by Myrtle
Lodge, II, at Richmond Hall. Decem-
Der l4th vas a success. While the
crowd was not exceedingly large it was
unusually orderly. The care and pains
taken by the committee are deserving
of the highest commentator, and the
entertainment should have received
the most hearty support of every Sin
Knight in the city. We are glad to
mention however, the fact that few
of the true and tried Sir Knights were
on hand and received the best of treat
ment at the hands of the committee.
This entertainment was given for the
parpose of replenishing the treasury OF
the lodge. While the entertainment
did not prove to be big financial sue
cess, the proceeds were sufficiently
large to ensure a small surplus after
expenses were paid. We car but com
mend this effort OF the part of the Sin
Knights connected with this lodge.
