Fraternal Popularity.

In treating OF this subject an ex-
change among other things says: "a
man OF apparently no influence and in.
ferior ability may by dint of effort and
persevering zeal, gain for his lodge a
collection OF material that will add
character to the membership, increase
the treasury funds, place his lodge be-
fore the world as a glowing and glitter
ing example TO others, and win for
himself that degree OF popularity which
will enable him to control the ballot
and obtain for himself any Office with
in the gift of his fraternity.
"Rings, cliques and combinations he
defies, and the pinnacle of his popular
ity may be so high that no member
would dare TO accept a nomination in
opposition to him. He may be regard
ed as the most earnest worker, most
successful advocate, and most ardent
lover Of his order, and his merits be
almost lauded to the skies. His name
may be synonym for success, and
the lodge even be denominated as his
lodge.
''Yet, let this popular and inhu
entail brother make one slip; let
him be guilty OF single iadscretion,
or let him be one of those unenviable
unfortunates who are out of money or
out OF job, and the eye of criticism, the
voice of ingratitude, and acts OF envy
are at his heels to hasten his decline,
cripple his influence, and drag him
down to insignificance, and often to
ruin.
"a hundred good and noble deeds OF
his may be overshadowed and confined
to oblivion by one unguarded error that
will afford some envious, ungrateful
and untrue brother (p) member an OPP
portunity to show how insecure, unde-
sirable and unreliable a thing is fra
ternal popularity.
'What glorious day it will be when
all popularity will rest solely upon the
individual merit OF an honest, capable,
unselfish, wise and conscientious be-
ingl And what blessed thing IL will
be for all true merit when ingratitude
and envy are banished from the world
and chained to the devil, their kingl"

at Grand Rapids.
Now that VIM. Lessiter is able to
once more walk over his broad acres

brilliant feather for his cap" Dur
ing Williams three months Of hard
sickness all his friends and even his
faithful wife despaired of his recovery.
But he would have no other physician
showing his faith was not in vain
although 1t looks somewhat like mir
acle to bring one out OF such danger
Gus condition. Mrs. Nj. A. Lessiter is
also able to "breath easier" and walk
about her room once more. Thanks to
the doctors skill-although that trou-
blesome lung" came very near giving
out this time.
The death of Elmon Hubbell at Rock
ford one week ago cast a gloom over
our whole town. For 25 years in the
early history of Grattan he was resi-
dent here, and his beloved wife who
survives him is from family of our
very first pioneers, Martin Mason, and
she is, il memory serves us right, only
one OF two sisters living of that once
large family. Mr.. and Mrs Hubbell
were devoted members of the Baptist
church. They gave largely of their
time and means in the building of Graf
tan Center church during Rev. G.. G.
Miller's pastorate at Ashley and White
Swan Baptist churches, and it is but
just that this fact should go down to
history that when Grattan church was
completed Rev. G. G. Miller preached
at all three churches every Sunday,
covering a circuit of Is miles Of travel.
Christian people we're bound to see the
good cause win. And oh, we want now
little more OF the enthusiasm of those
early days especially among our young
people.
