GRAND COMMANDERY PROCEED
INGS.
The Grand Commandery of knights |
Templar of New Mexico assembled in |
second annual grand conclave at $3.50 |
this morning at the asylum Of the
commandery at Masonic hall. Every
commandery in the territory was rep
resented. r. E. Grand Commander j.
P. McGrorty of Deming, opened the
conclave in knightly form. Only exec
utive business was transacted this
forenoon. The grand conclave assem-
bled at 2:30 this afternoon, and after |
the transaction of executive business |
the election of officers took place at
4:30 o'clock, too late for today's issue. |
The grand commandery then closed in |
full form. The third annual grand con-
clave of the grand commandery of |
knights Templar of New Mexico will |
convene at Albuquerque, October, 1903.
The loose leaf ledgers which are on
sale at the New Mexican office, are
rapidly growing in favor. 1t is the best
patent that has been issued and the
saving to the business man in not car
rying book of dead pages is consider
able. For convenience and economy |
and for keeping the book up to the
mark with live accounts only, the loose
leaf ledger is the best arrangement yet
Issued.
