I. O. o. F. NOTES.
Red Jacket lodge entertained last
Saturday evening about thirty visit
ing brothers from Scranton. The mi
tiatoryy-. -tcond and third degrees wers
worked by the degree team, after
which the lodge was closed and hot
served. Every one heartily entered
into a good old-fashioned social visit
and we think and trust the visiting
brothers enjoyed their visit, and hope
that they will not let this be the last
visit, but will come again and come
often. Brothers Rowley and Moth
acker was bound to be "toastmasters'
of the evening, and owing to their size
were allowed to speak their pieces
from time to time. Brother Bender,
of Green Ridge lodge. was the poet"
of the evening, which Brother Joseph
Senard thought was rather milky"
The visiting brothers returned on the
night express at 1.15.
The committees on entertainment
and banquet for the anniversary of
Red Jacket lodge are diligently at
work, and are putting forth every ef-
fort to make the evening of Feb r.,
1897, memorable one in the history of
Red Jacket lodge. The banquet will
eclipse anything of the kind ever held
in this town.
With the visiting members from
Green Ridge lodge last Saturday even
ing we noticed District Deputy Grand
Master Davis and Brothers Nothacller,
