About ten years ago the Masons of Vir-

the destitute orphans of brother Masons.
The home has been a splendid success,
Recently the demands upon its finances
have been increased, and it is understood
that calls will have to be made on all the
lodges in the State for assistance. There
are three orphans from Tazewell county at
the home, children of a deceased Metho.
dist preacher. 1t has been suggested that
| it.would be well to nave the home talent of
Tazewell give concert, the proceeds of
which shall be sent to the Masonic Home.
The suggestion is good one. No better
opportunity can be given to assist noble
charity. We hope the suggestion will be
promptly carried out, and will suggest the
night of the 10Th of the present month as
a good time for the entertainment.
