crowds to move about comfortably.

tertainment, but the committee Will
see that visitors receive every courtesy,
and will have surprises for each even

large number of lodges OF the order in
West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
and replies have been received from
most of them, to the effect that the
members will endeavor to attend. The

thy one and deserves hearty support.
