but That it Will be q Great Success.
The Programme -, cg

will be held in this city three days
commencing October I4th, are 60.
ing on apace and there is not the
least doubt but it will be the great
est success of the kind ever held in
.Sistersville, and will be the SWEETEST
time the knights Of Pythlas Grand
Lodge has ever been shown by any
of the many towns in which it has
met heretofore.
The entert ,inment committee
which have charge o! affairs, up to
date is hust,ing and they will have
everything in first class shape be-
fore the visitors canmence to ar
rive in the city.
During the time they have been
soliciting funds to assist IN detray-
ing the expenses Of the encamp-
meut they have been meeting with
very good success, but even at that
they have not yet received nearly
so much as will be necessary.
In the matter Of securing accom-
modations for the visitors only has
the committee had any trouble so
far. The residents of the city have
been very backward in sending in
their names and giving list OF the
number of visitors they could take
care of. There will be from 5000
to 1000 visitors in the city during
these three days and they must be
taken care of. The people are n t
asked to donate their accommoda-
.tions-all will be paid for. But the
committee would like to know just
how many each family could take
and where the places were located,
in order to facilitate distributing
the visitors to their various stop
ping places.
The programme for the encamp-
znent has bsen received by Lieut..

cal person that there is going 10 be
