Five Cents Assessed.
GRAND OFFICERS ELECTED

The forty-second annual communication
Of the grand lodge A. F. & a. NJ Of
Kansas closed their session here last
night. The morning session was taken up
with the revision of the old code Of laws,
rulings and decisions. Only very few
changes were inaugurated, however, as
the members, while they frequently in
dulged in animated discussions, usually
took the recommendation Of the commit
tee. The discussions took up the major
part Of the morning. At noon the mem
bers adjourned for refreshments.
The afternoon session was probably the
most important Of the communication.
The grand lodge voted 5000 for the pur-
pose of building an addition to the Ma
sonic home and putting in steam heat.
The plans are already drafted and work
will begin early in the spring. Another
important matter which was attended to
was the assessing of % cents on every
Mason in the state for the maintaining
Of the home. The rest of the afternoon
was devoted to routine and secret work.
Leavenworth and Topeka were the only
two contestants for entertaining the grand
=
victorious, defeating the capital city by
70 votes. A resolution was put by a mem
Der from Topeka asking that the lodge
make Topeka the permanent headquar-
tiers. The motion was defeated by an over
whelming majority. The lodge elected the
following officers for the ensuing year:
Grand Master-M. L. Stone Wamego.

Stole a Pump.

On last Thursday some one stole
the handle and plunger OF a pump
in the school house yard near MIR.
A J Smiths house. Suspicion
points to a man who passed that
way early Thursday morning.driv-
ing large horse in wagon.
Probably the traveller saw a chance
TO take as much Of the pump as
he needed and avai!ed himself Of
the opportunity. The track OF the
wagon and horse was followed as
far rs Mr.. J NJ Nexsen's store, where
it was lost sight of. Upon the
ground near the school-house was
found a three inch harmonica. Not
every man who carries around a
harmonica and blows IL is thief
but the fact would not help him
with a fair minded jury.
The trustees OF The school are
thankful that the robber left
some of the pump and the well,
and they are willing to return his
musical instrument and pardon
the transgressor il he will bring
back the pump and sin no more.

An account was given in our

V Z Clayton, United States dep
uty marshal, to remove Early L
Lee from the chain gang upon a
writ OF haboas corpus, and the re-
fusal of Mr.. Howle to release Lee.
rs he did not consider the instru

to do aud was ordered away by

his face. He has been placed un

At HOME AGAIN.
AFTER APLEASANT TWO WEEKS
VACATION.

GreenviIIe, Harris Springs and Other
Points Visited. No County Like
Wiiiamsburg-personal Mention.
After an absence of two weeks
We are home again" and with re
newed health and energy have re
sumed our duties. At the meeting
of the Press Association, an &C
count of which has already been
given in THE RECORD, were many
editors from every part of the State
and the intercourse of these men
OF the same craft must have been
of mutual benefit. In such associ-
ations every one has the privilege
of exchanging Old ideas and views
for new ones, and of course Who
ever makes such an exchange finds
it profitable.
After three days in the beau
tiful city of Grcenville most pleas
antly spent, we went to Harris
Lithia Springs ami remained there
about two weeks. The health Civ
ing waters of this celebrated resort
We're imbibed freely. and health
and enjoyment went hand in hand.
In another column is given an ac-
count of the banquet of the Den
tai Association on July II, when
about 200 guests were entertained.
This article is from The facile pen
of Maj. James T Bacon, the Chev-
alierBayard-sans peur etreproche
of the South Carolina press, and
his description does ample justice
to the occasion.
On July IL, Maj. Bacon deliv-
cred his lecture AN Old Mans
kranky kaleidoscope" to a select
audience at Harris Springs. This
lecture is replete with wit, humor
and pathos, and is entertaining
from start to finish. Col. Bacon
intends to take the field as a lect-
urer this fall, and we bespeak for
him brilliant succe SIS.
At Greenville We had the pleas
ure of seeing Mr. II j Hayneswortn,
formerly member OF the bar at
this place. Mr.. Haynesworth is
one of the leading lawyers Of
Greenville and his domestic life is
complete in its happiness. BY no
means the least enjoyable part of
our trip was the two days spent at
Greenwood, where Mr.. F Barron
Grier of tender memory in King
stree and Williamsburg extended
to US a hospitable welcome. Green
wood is thriving little city and
on every hand are evidences OF
its rapid growth. 1t will be mat
ter OF much qualification to Mr..
Grier's host of friends here to
know that he has already reached
the top of the profession in his
adopted home, and that he so
kindly remembers this county and
its people.
The crops of the up country
yield to ours in every way, and it
is really refreshing to behold the
luxuriant growth of corn and cot
ten in our fields after seeing the
short, crooked rows through rocky
soil and along barren hillside in
some Of the upper counties. In
the fertility ofits soil and the hos
pitality CT its people We are more
than ever convinced that cd Will
liamsburg stands second to none.
