game known TO the other Odd Fellows Of
savannah. He was an Odd Fellow in the
iudi sense of the word, and was never

The response for the dead In Haunt
Lodge was made in a tribute paid to its

the lodge had been more unfortunate dur
ing the year than any of the other Savan-
nan lodges 1t had lost five of its mem
6ers. They. We're Messrs. Vandevere,
Sieorge A. Hudson w. w, Chisholm,
all of these the highest tributes We're paid.
Some of them We're known as Savannah 5
most prominent business men, and their
loss was heavily felt by the order.
There were no deaths in Acorn Lodge
during the year, and therefore no response.
During. the programme there were some
well-rendered musical selections. The
Lost Chord was sung by Miss Grace
Hazard of the Brinkley Opera Company.
Mr.. Ethan Allen, also of the opera COM
pany sang a basso solo. 1.-The Holy City
was rendered by Mrs. c. B. Younglove, and
a tenor solo, Calvary, was sung by Mr..
Peter Lang Of the opera company.
The following was unanimously adopted
by the odd Fellows of Savannah imme-
diately after the memorial service at the
church.
RESOLVED, That the sincere and heart
felt thanks are due and the same are
-ereby extended to the members of the
Brnkley Opera Company, to Mrs c. j.

Wiegand and the officers and members
Of the Lutheran Church of the Ascension

generously contributed towards the sue
cess of the odd Fellows memorial serv-
ices.
Owing to the interest the members of
the opera company took 10 aiding Mr..
Upper and the committee with the pro-
gramme the Odd Fellows have decided 10

the benefit to be given Wednesday night
