After music by a string band

MI. John w. Hinsdale, Jr., OF

guests of the evening. He trac-
ed the history Of the order from
its inception in the Sons OF
Liberty" who claimed George

present, and showed how the
principles Of the order had made
its embership multiply and
increase.
The next speaker was Past

of Philadelphia, veteran Red
man. He is the principal vls1-
tor to the Great Council and has
been identified with the order
for over thirty-hve years. For
sixteen years he filled the posi-
ton of Great Chief of Records |
of the Great Council of the |
United States, and was only re-
lieved at his earnest request.
His position as Great Past In
cohonee was conferred on him
for meritous service and he has
the proud distinction of being
the only Red Man thus hOnored.
HIS address was a witty one
He referred to his hesitancy in
following the young orator as
the contrast between him, a bald
eagle of the tribes and the young
brave, was SO great. He told Of
the great joy he, as veteran Of
the blue had in meeting IN fel
lowship with veterans of the
gray, whom he loved as broth>
ers. In referring to the Great
Council of North Carolina he
said it was the peer Of any other
in the country and was truly
representative of the 10000 and
more braves of the United States.
His closing tribute to North
Carolina, "reeking with tar and
b hospitality" was warmly ap
plauded.

cess of the order, thanking the
