lows Visit Canon City.

Last night was Odd Fellows night
in Canon City, at least the residents
of that town thought so. The Flor
ence and Silver Cliff lodges responded
to pressing invitation extended by
the Canon City fraternity to be pres
ent and witness special work and
spend a social evening together.
About forty Florence members went
up, including the First degree team,
and there We're about thirty down
from Silver Cliff.
The Canon City team put the Ini-
tiatory work on the floor, there being
about five candidates The represen-
tation of the team 5 work in this de
gree was very fine and reflects much
credit ON Canon City lodge.
The Florence team then put the
First degree work on the floor in
structing six candidates in the myster-
les. Captain Furniss showed the visit
ing brothers that the Florence team
was entitled to the reputation which
it has gained for doing the finest work
of any lodge in the Arkansas valley.
After the work was all over the
Canon City lodge made a spread which
was about the finest the writer ever
witnessed, consisting of sandwiches,
pickles and coffee, Strawberries, ice
cream, cake and bananas galore. Ev-
cry member of Canon City lodge re-
solved himself into committee to
see that the visitors had plenty to eat
and a good social time. 1t was about
O'Clock this morning when the Flor
ence lodge was escorted to the depot
by the members of Silver Clif and
Canon City lodges.
All report a good time and say that
Canon City lodge proved itself "A
