The Order of Hoo-H Hoo, one of the
most popular if one of the newest in
Savannah, will hold it's annual concat-
enation in Norfolk, Sept. 9-12. Already
elaborate preparations for the event
have been made in that city as the
programme printed below will show,
and Savannah, the stronghold of the
order in Georgia, and the seat of the
Shark of the Universe, VIM. B. Still
well, expects to send to the concatena-
ton an exceptionally large delegation.
The proclamation has been issued to
the general public as we'll as the fol-
lowers of Hoo-Hoo. In it the Shark
says:
ITO All: Your attention is once more
called to the approaching annual at
Norfolk and the important questions
affecting the good of the order, which
will come up for decisive action. These
questions are so clearly understood by
the membership generally, and have
been the subject matter of so much al
ready written and printed, that 1t is
70 70
here. This annual, being followed by
Lumbermen's Week at the Buffalo Ex-
position, furnishes trip heretofore un-
equaled in opportunities for making ac-
quaintances, acquiring business infor-
nation and enjoying the fraternal and
recration features incident to such oc-
casions. The delightful programme ar
ranged at Norfolk and the attractions
of Lumbermen's Week at the exposi
ton, have been stated so fully in the
Bulletin and trade papers that there is
no need 10 dwell upon them now.
Every Hoo Hoo contemplating va
| cation, or trip North or East this FALL
should so arrange it as to take in both
of these events, as no other trip he
| could plan would be more pleasant
| and profitable; and even ladies and
| gentlemen who are not members will
| find that the occasion offers unequaled
| facilities and attractions for enjoy
ment. Many members intend taking
| their families with them, and parties,
including ladies, are being organized
| in various localities to make the trip;
| arrangements having been made for
| badges for ladies and other non-mem-
bers, which will enable them to partic-
| ipate in the entertainment features.
| The public functions of the Osrian
a nd OrnV OF finF1 of
ex-Snarks, and installation of officers,
| will excel in uniqueness and startling
| effects anything ever before attempted,
and will be particularly attractive to
visitors.
"A special feature of the annual will
| be the limitations; the presence of so
many members versed in the best and
most unique usages of the order, the
Cairo Gardens, the new exemplification
of the Nine Commandments, and the
| illustrated lectures, lending to the GER
| emony a zest and attractiveness, a dig
| nifty and glory, impossible to secure at
the usual concatenation. This is an
| opportunity not to be missed for any
member to bring a business associate,
| special friend, or prominent man who
is eligible for active or honorary mem
| bership, to see Hoo-H Hoo at it's best, for
| it will be an occasion to which both
can look back with oft recurring pleas
| ure.
"A feeling has seemed to pervade the
| order, that on this annual, as on a
pivot, turns the fate of Hoo-Hoo. The
| whole atmosphere has been surcharg-
ed with electricity, and word or touch
has never failed to elicit an answering
spark. But the good of the order calls
for something more than a respectable
| attendance and lively interest. This
| eh hQ a
the Mecca (this year, of every true
believer Comel to show the pessimists
| that Hoo-Hoo still lives in the hearts
of it's votaries. Come! to guide it's
councils Alright; to augment it's present
worth and future growth; to demon
strate that beneath garb and nomen-
| clature quaint and orinetal, dwell prin-
ciples which SAVIOR not of the time and

"Comei to wave the banner of health,
happiness and long life,' and to cry
| All Hail to Hoo-Hoo, the latest ex-
ponent of Peace on earth, good will to-

terial for initiation, and show that

Come! to add your good fellowship to
the occasion"
