Natchez being the city chosen from
among those eager for the honor as the
place Of meeting Of the State Fedora
tion of Womens Clubs this year, the
admirable organization known As tho
Progressive Club WAS, . fortnight ago, |
the hostess of this aggregation of bril-
liant women. They were wise in
accepting the invitation Of this most
beautiful Of Mississippi cities, where
history has hallowod so many scenes
and whore the people, even in this hur-
rying, changing time, love to recall tho
triumphs of their forefathers and TO re-
count the picturesque legends in which
that immediate neighborhood abounds.
That the meeting was success socially,
rs we'll as an intellectual pleasure, one
has only to know half dozen Natchez
people to understand. More faithfully
than any people we know do the native
Natchez men and women stand by the
ancient banner whose motto is Noblesse
O6kge. Hence everything possible to
generous hospitality and ample means
was done for the entertainment of the
State's club women.

The Templars' Triennial.
The twenty eighth triennial conclave
of Knights Tsmplar of the United
States will take place in the city OF
Louisville August 81 to 80. 1t promises
to eclipse all former occasions. There
are upwards of 1000 command cries
and 10000 Templars in the United
States. and very large per cent Of
these will be represented in the grand
parade. Mississippi Communicates AND
individual knights who expect to at
tend should lose no time in making ar
rangements for the trip. The grano
commandery committee, Of which Sil
E. N. Thomas of Greenville is chair
man, has leased q handsome and spa
cious residence for headquarters, where
good board and lodging can be had foi
the moderate sum of two dollars pei
day. AS soon as sixty-two are register
ed, other arrangements will have to bt
made for those who apply later. We
hope to see fully 800 Mississippi Tenn
plars under Grand Commander Howard
at Louisville.
