n q. Georgia Templars will keep
o,sr house at the Palace Hotel. In
every state of the Union Knights
Tsmplars are brushing up their uni

lacking their grips for the pilgrimage
~ the Pacific. In the first week of
sentember they will gather at Frisco
10000 strong.
Georgia has been sending representa-
tives to the tri-ennials for the last fif-
Ten Years. They became a factor nine
Years ago when, at Boston, nearly 100
,strone the Grand Commandery of
Georgia kept open house for five days
dining which they received and en-
tertained over 5000 visitors Since that
time at each succeeding triennial,
Georgia has been a toast, second per-
hans only to California.
viii Keep Open House.
Owing to the long distance and
+he season of the year a
much smaller number than us
ual will go to California, but these
Knights have engaged headquarters at
the Palace Hotel, and from the bill of
fare which they are sending out, it
goes without saying that Georgia will
be heard from.
Among the Savannahians who will
90 are Col. j. H. Estill, Mrs.
Fstiu and Mrs. j. G.. Hill. With them,
will be Capt. William Pendleton and
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis NJ. Goodrich of
Augusta. Mr. John R. Young will
also go from Savannah.
Among those who will go from At
lanta are Julius l.. Brown and j. Is.
Orr past grand commanders. In Mr..
Orrs party will be Mrs. Orr. ]. K. Orr,
Jr, Miss Hattie Orr, Miss Francis Car
Dickey, grand captain general, will be
accompanied by Mrs Dickey and Mrs.
B H. Jones, Mrs. G. J. McMichael.
These will take the grand encampment
special This train is limited to men,
bers of the grand encampment and
their families, and will be luxurious
in it's appointments. 1t covers an
itinerary of about a month, including
week in Yellowstone Park and three
weeks, in California, concluding at st.
Louis about Sept. Is. Among others
who will attend from Georgia, will be
Grand Commander Schweigert of Au-
gusta, Past Eminent NJ. A. Weir of
Macon, and Eminent Commander
Thomas BURY of Gainesville.
Souvenirs of Georgia.
Among the souvenirs the Triennial
Committee has prepared is an unique
map of Georgia, on which is shown tho
fourteen cities of the state having com
manderies, and across this map is a
song from Georgia, written by Frank
L. Stanton, under the title of "Geor-
ga's Toast to Her Host, California"
Two thousand miniature cotton bales
carrying the name of Georgia will be
distributed.
The refreshments offered will be the
Georgia cracker, which is the cele-
which the name of Georgia will be
prominent. While it seems like car
Iying coal to Newcastle, a barrel of
scuppernong wine has been shipped to
Frisco just to wash the cracker
down"
While it is stated that San Francis
co will spend over 100000 for enter
tainment, which perhaps is not extrav-
agant for so rich a city-it is worth
noting that the few Templars from
Georgia will take with them nearly a
half million in cold cash. While it may
only carry the stamp "of storm
Graded nation that fell' it will enable
the Georgia boys to light the cigars
OF their California friends with a SO
hlll and not feel it. The Georgia Tenn
pars will probably enjoy the distinc-
ton Of being the only Knights on the
continent who will literally have mon
ey to burn.
