hospitality of the local commandery
at banquet given last night in honor |
of the visitors, at the Wilmington ho-
tel
Promptly at 8 o'clock the visitors |
and ladies marched from the parlor |
of the hotel to the spacious dining |
room below. Here they we're seated |
at long tables, and after divine bless
ing was invoked by Rev. C. C. Weith
of the First Presbyterian church, the
guests w,Te served in two courses.
The occasion was enlivened by the
excellent muaic furnished by Lowen-
STEMS orchestra, which played popu-
lar selections from the east corner of
the room. The Knights presented a
handsome appearance dressed in their
uniforms and plumed hats.
The presence of the ladies added
greatly to the event and every one
was in good spirits throughout the
evening.
To say that the affair was a most
pleasant one would be expressing it
with a too common word
The toasts offered were bright and
full of humor.
Mr.. w. F. Bowman acted as toast
master and his sallies were especially
pleasing TO the crowd.
Sir Knight ]. s. Murrow of Atoka
responded to the toast on Cryptic

OF this branch of Masonry and told
how valuable the degrees were. He
. also related the story of his trip to
Denver. Col, for the purpose of get

OF Muskogee, who briefly spoke on
the rapid advancement OF the com
mandery. He related a Scotch story
told by Max O'Rell, which was enjoy
ed.
Sir knight Eugene Hamilton of
Chickasha responded to "Templarlsm
and Its Relation to Masonry" saying
that Masonry raised Italy from des
lpotic country to land of peace and
happiness. In France, he said, during
tho revolutionary days, Masonry
brought about a great change. It has
struggled, the speaker said, to free
: men from oppression and wrong. ma

that no one was better than another
