First-The Headquarters of the
Grand Commandery of Missi ss!ppi

and conveniently located residence was
leased by our committee one year ago.
IL will be entirely occupied by Miss

although its board and lodging capacity
is all engaged by names registered for
some time, Sir Thomas will under
take to provide comfortable quarters
for all who will write to I'm before
August Goth. He will go to Louisville
for that purpose. His address Is Green
Vile.
Sir c. w. Gibson has been looking
after transportation details, and in
accordance with his recommendations.
and the approval OF Grand Commander,
the Illinois Central Railroad Is select
ed as the Official Route for the Grand

rate to Louisville has been fixed by
all the lines at one fare for the round

turn, and corresponding rates from
other points. Ample time allowed for
side trips.
The Illinois Central will furnish as
many sleeping cars as may be desired,
IL we supply as many as Is passengers

The tourist car is finished in cane. The
price of nerths in regular is $500: In
cane, $3.50. For hot weather, the tour.
list car Is preferaDie, at same price,
and is therefore selected. The com
pany must have at least ten dSy'E
notice in order to place cars where
needed. Hence the necessity of very
prompt action by the Communicates.

1t is very desirable that the Com

other and more convenient schedule
| All the knights on the main line oi
the /. G. can take the Templar Cal

deem line-Say West Point and
/ Aherdeen-can take car, to be lef;

Tupelo and Corinth knights can .oin

A sleeper will be sent to any gta.
tion IL Is passengers are assured, and
ten days notice given. II IS will go
from Meridian, a sleeper will start
from there via Jackson, or on the M.
& o., on same terms, but there is no
connection at Rives. Tenn, and IL the

All correspondence relating TO Pull
