made to treat royalty the visitors who
were expected, and right royalty did the
visitors turn out, Plymouth sending %,
Woodbury. two, Morris two, Bethlehem
two. Hope one, and 1rumbull one. The
subject for discussion during the lectur-
er's hour was that of citizenship, and
several Of the visitors, as we'll as local
members, spoke freely in regard to what
their idea Of citizenship meant. Among
the speeches noteworthy was that of
Brother Sicily of Woodbury., who has a
way of dealing out great chunks of wis
dom without appearing to do anything
except amuse his hes rers. He talked for
full 20 minutes. His speech was brim-
ming over with wit, wisdom and elo-
quence. At the conclusion Of the pro-
gram all adjourned to the banquet room,
where bountiful supper had been pre-
pared. Ample Justice was done to the
good things with which the tables were
loaded, and all returned to their homes
much pleased with Neighbors' night at
