ne NATIVE OOIlS.
Olympus Parlor of the Native Sons Of
the Golden West on the third Wednes-
day in November was visited by dele
cation from Las Positas Parlor of Liv-
ermore The visitors, after taking in
spiration from the manner in which
Olympus conducts it's business, were
treated with that liberal hospitality for
which this parlor is noted. The occa-
sion of the visit was to present to the
parlor a set of beautifully engrossed
and framed resolutions of thanks to the
parlor's drum corps for the service it
rendered during the celebration in Liv-
ermore on the Fourth or July. The
resolutions were accepted on behalf of
Olympus by General Organizer Andrew
Mocker, one of its most active men,
