Wanted Dates Changed.
A request from Augusta that the
dates for the holding of the conven-
ton be changed was taken up and
discussed at great length. A majority
of the Augusta members of the Or
ganization are Catholics or Episco-
palians. and the drummers will be in
session on Holy Thursday and Good
Friday. The committee in charge of
arrangements for the convention re-
ported that contracts for music and
other things have already been signed
for the dates originally agreed upon,
and that it is too late at this time
to make a change in the programme.
1t was decided that under existing
circumstances the convention will have
to be held on the two most solemn days
of Lent. The secretary was, however,
instructed to express the regret of the
post at it's inability to change the
dates, and to specify the cause. 1t
was explained that if the request of
the Augusta post had been made two
weeks ago the dates would have been
gladly changed. All arrangements for
the convention have been about COM
pleted, and the visiting delegates will
be entertained in a royal manner.
