and qualification by Mr.. Jones many
friends in this city:
In his report Grand Master NC
Brayer referred to the fact that this
was the Semi-centennial of Grand
Treasurer Jones connection with the
grand body. He suggested that the
Grand Lodge or some member would
pay a fitting tribute to the influence,
life and character" of the aged broth
er. 1t was this suggestion that
brought about the love feast and
enacted the stirring scene that fol-
lowed.
Grand Warden Plato Collins, of
Kinston, made n of the prettlest
talks heard in a Grand Lodge hall in
many a day. He paid a glowing tr1-
butte to the veteran odd Fellow, who
was present. He was followed by Mr..
E. n. Penny, of Wilmington; Grand
Secretary B. H. Woodell, of Raleigh;
Grand Master McBrayer, of Asheville;
and Mr.. NJ. w. jacob, of Wilmington,
all of whom paid tributes to Mr.. Jones
and the great work he has done for
Odd Fellowship in the state.
ION motion of Mr.. Charles F. Lums-
den, of Raleigh, the thanks Of the
Grand Lod~n was extended to Mr.. Col7
Inns for his excellent talk and it was
decided 10 incorporate the speech into
the minutes of the session. The vote
of thanks was extended by a rising
vote.
after this Mr.. Jones, the subject of
this speech making an unusual scene.
was escorted to the grand masters
chair and while he sat there the entire
membership of the lodge passed and
shook his hand. Old members of the
Grand Lodge say that no such a scene
was. ever before witnessed as that pre-
scented on this occasion. 1t was this
that kept the lodge in session until the
late hour"
