loaded the box on his wagon and drove
home.

SECRET SOCIETIES
TO INSTALL OFFICERS.

Recently Elected Officers Will As
sumo New Duties Next Month.
With the opening of the new year
the secret societies of Savannah will
begin installing their officers. This is
an event looked forward to with much
interest by the members of the Diff
ferent lodges as the occasion is gen
orally made one of social gathering.
In some of the orders there is add
tional interest owing to the fact that
the new officers. as soon as they have
taken their places, will make appoint
ments.
Among the Masons there will be no
installation ceremonies, and only the
regular work of the lodges will be car
ried out. All of the Masonic orders
have chosen their officers with the
exception of the Shriners, the Knights
Templar, and the Scottish Rite Masons.
All officers. both elective and appoint
i've. were installed at the same session
of the lodge at which they were elect
ad.
Among the knights of Pythias the in
stallation meetings are almost with
out exception social gatherings. I'M
mediately after the officers have been
installed refreshments are served, and
short addresses made by Knights pres
ent. Some of the lodges are making
elaborate preparations for the event.
Among the Odd Fellows there are sew
eral officers to be appointed. Consid-
cradle interest attaches to the installa-
ton meetings on this account. By
many of the lodges refreshments will
alos be served on installation night
and the meetings will become social
sessions
