LATCH STRING WAS OUT.
Manchester Unity Entertains Heroes Of
the Late War.

Harmony Lodge of the Manchester
Unity had It's latch string out to it's
full length last night when it rendered
a banquet to it's members who were
soldiers in the late war, and to large
number Of it's friends
The affair took place in Common
wealth hail. and about 1875 members Of
the order and their guests sat down
at the bountiful laden tables and par
ticipated in the social features of the
evening. The occasion was made es-
pecially enjoyable by the presence of
the feminine friends of the lodge in
strong force, and the lodge members
made every effort to have the banquet
a notable one on this account, and were
proportionately successful.
The guests assembled at the hail at
an early hour in the evening, and were
entertained in the lodge room by the
members until the spread was ready by
informal musical and elocutionary fea-
lures.
The banquet was a turkey supper of
the real fashioned kind, with all the
"hxings," and this was followed by
dessert Of fruits and ices. The toast
master of the evening was Past Grand
Charles ]. Thomas, who presided in a
most felicitous manner and kept the
fun going all the time. Under his
skilfful and witty direction, speeches,
songs and stories followed each other
in quick succession.
The lodge had four of it's members
in the late war, and of these two were
present last night, while one is still in
the south with the 18th infantry, and
the other sleeps the last sleep in the
sunny land of Porto Rico.
The two living members who were
present last night were Privates Roland
Johnson of c. and Private William T.
Turner of A Company of the I'd regi-
ment. The member who is absent in
the 18th infantry is H. Fl. Whitworth,
and the one who has answered the last
roll call was Private Sovereign of the
I'd United States artillery. There were
also present the following military
guests, all of whom spoke, relating
their adventures in Cuba: Privates
