El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1897-04-09

was established in Ell Paso in 1882,
fifteen years ago, but the order itself
was established more than twenty-five
years ago and has a present member
ship of $50 900.
Our order is a benevolent and mutual
insurance company. We meet once a
month for our mutual benefit and to
counsel and learn if any of our brothers
are in distress or out of employment.
Since our local organization was made,
we have buried eight of our members.
and have paid out to their widows and
orphans the generous sum of
SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS,
while the grand lodge has received
from the Ell Paso lodge only little
more than fifteen thousand dollars. So
you can see that our K. of 81. is esta-
blished for the best interest and well
fare of man and his family. But IT, is
not everyone that can get into our broth
erhood, The candidate must be strictly
honest sober aud Industrious man as
we'll as an intelligent one.
1t is not necessary for me to mention
names to you to show the character of
our order for good deeds, it is suf-
ficient to say that we have given
SUPPORT TO EIGHT WIDOWS,
and their children lin this city. We
come here to counsel with each other,
and to aid and assist each other in their
business. One of the inquiries made
at each meeting IS, do you know of a
brother or his family in distress, and q
a second inquiry is. do you know of q
bro her out of employment. The rea-
son is that if we do know of brother
n that condition, it is our duty to try
and find such an one employment And
so the K. of H. not only works for the
mutual benefit of its members,
but as well for those dependent on
US.
Being one of the oldest K. of 81. in
this lodge, and also baing a member of
almost every other lodge in this city; I
want to say that the K OF 81 is one OF
the most practical organizations in it's
benevolence and one one of the best to
its members, l will not make longer
speech but cay we welcome you here
tonight, and trust each one of you will
enjoy yourself and our entertainment.
