A number of the most prominent peo-
pie Of the county have solicited Mr.. F.
L. Patenotte, OF Pass Christian, to enter
the race for sheriff assuring him of their
support, So far Mr.. Patenotte has not
signified his intention in the matter, but
will do so at the proper time. If he
should consent to run, we feel satisfied
that he will prove strong candidate, az
he had made a most efficient officer in
the various public positions that he has
filled and is especially qualified to make
a splendid sheriff. Upright, fearless,
impartial and prompt at every and any
call of duty he would prove most eff
cient man in the office.--Pass Christian

There seems not the leastapprehension
of prohibition issue being taken up in
the next State campaign. Nearly all of
the papers and some Of the most promi-
nent Of the State have spoken out on
the subject and as general rule the
majority are very much opposed to the
proposition, even those who are most
ardent prohibitionists. There are but
few honest and upright men who are OPP
posed to temperance, but they clearly
see that this prohibition movement is
fraught with much evil and would vastly
do the cause more harm than good

resentatives were present, together with a
large number OF past chancellors Much in
terest attaches to the present Grand Lodge
session. owing to the near approach of the
Pythian fair, and the fact that the officers
now elected will serve during the fortieth
year in the history Of the fraternity.
Pythianism was born in Washington Feb
ruary 10. 1864, and large number Of the
original members are still alive in the order.
Several of them are members of the Grand
Lodge. and one of these, David L. Burnett,
of Calanthe Lodge, No. II, was one of the
five members of the fraternity who are
known as it's founders. The other found
ers' were Justus H. Rathbone, Robert A.
Champion, Edward S. Kimbali and w. H.
Burnett. Messrs. Rathbone and hampton
have long since passed away, but the others
are all yet living.
Pythianism has grown from the small be-
ginning Of five members in 1864 to nearly

noticed In any large restaurant at lunch dinner

years; many Of them bald and all perhaps gray
but none Of them feeble or senile?

II you will notice what these hearty old fsllows
are eating you will observe that they are not
munching bran crackers nor gingerly picking their
way through a menu ard Of new-faneied health
foods; on the contrary. they seem to prefer Juicy
roast Of beef, a properly turned lein of mutton,
and even the deadly broiled lobster is not alto
gether ignored.
The point Of NIL this is that q vigorous old aga
depends upon good digestion and plenty Of whole
some food. and not upon dieting and an endeayor
to live upon bran crackers.

to believe that meat, coffee and many other GOOD

Grand Chancellor's Report.
Grand Chancellor James c. Mcqueen SUBJ
mitted his annual report last evening. He
said: 1T was with some trepidation that I
entered upon the duties and responsibility
of the office OF grand chancellor Of this do
main, and I assure you that 1t was the
proudest moment Of my life when received
that honor at your hands. At that time
promised you I would give my best efforts
order. In fulfllment Of that promise have
devoted my time and the best Of my abili-
ties without stint. and while 1t might not
have been all that you could desire. or IL 1
have made mistakes. let me assure you they
were Of the head and not Of the heart.
Let us take counsel by the mistakes of
the past and so use them In future that
they may rebound greatly to our profit, not
forgetting to thank Almighty God for Ills
goodness and mercy toward us, and devout-
ly asking His aid and assistance for our
future prosperity.
I'VE have made a gain in members during
the year. which satisfactory result was
brought about through the zeal and energy
of the officers and members of the several
subordinate lodges. Harmony prevails In
all our lodges, and the excellent rendition
Of our ritualistfc work by many Of our
lodges insures continual prosperity for the
mother domain. We have every reason to
ourselves on the state OF the
order In our grand domain.
