The Woodmen Install Officers.

| certainly jackson camp, No. bSS,
w. o. W., are to be congratulated
upon the success attending their first
falls to the lot of visitors to be so highly
entertained as were those who were
fortunate enough to be present at Odd
Fellows hall Monday evening and listen
to the solemn and impressive installa-
tion ceremony, the excellent program
rendered, the presentation of the stump
and silken flag, and lastly, but not by
any means the least, to be permitted to
sit at the banquet table that had been
prepared by the wives, daughters, and
sweethearts of these strong men of the
| forest.
Promptly at O'Clock Consul Com
mander H. c. Shear arose and called
the meeting to order, and delivered an
address of welcome that made all
present feel that they were indeed well
come. Rev. Winning then stepped
forward, and in behalf of Past Consul
Commander B. F. Horr and son pre-
sented the camp with beautiful red
wood stump that had been brought
from Santa Cruz county for the oc-
casion. Commander Shear received
the gift, and in well chosen words
thanked the donors for their beautiful
souvenir emblematic of the order.
Rev. Winning then called Clerk ]. F.
Wilson to the floor, and on behalf of
the camp presented to him beautiful
gold pen and case. Clerk Wilson was
taken by surprise, but being as ready
with tongue as with pen gracefully
acknowledged the gift and pledged
himself to renewed energy during his
incoming term as clerk.
Past Consul Commander Horr then
called upon the grand officers to take
their respective stations, commanded
the marshal to bring forward the in
coming officers, and in sentorian tones
delivered to each the solemn obligation
of office. The following officers were
installed:
Consul Commander-H. G. Shear.
Advisor Lieutenant-G. o. Keffer.
Banker-C. G. Heiser.
Clerk-Dr. J. F. Wilson.
Physician-Dr. L. E. Phillips.
Escort-Robt. w. Scott.
Watchman-Wm. Tucker.
Sentry-H. NJ Horr.

M. Huberty.
After rendering the evenings pro-
gram a youth from the forest stepped
forth and placed in the hands of Neigh
Dor Winning beautiful silken flag and
addressed it iq words that thrilled his
hearers. This emblem was the sur
prise of the evening to the members,
for it had been secretly procured by
their lady friends and not until the
youth and Neigh Winning had
spoken the last words of their beautiful
tributes to the Gag did the mem bers
realize that it was gift to the camp.
Calling the members to their feet Rev.
Winning, speaking for the ladies, pre-
sented the starry banner to Commander
Shear, who accepted it in worthy
manner aud thanked the ladies for
their generous Offering.
After fiashlight by Neighbor Nc
MILAN the guests and members, to the
number of $50, filed into the spacious
of the most inviting feasts that it has
been our privilege to partake of in
many years. The committee in charge,
Mrs. B. F. Horr, Mrs. Geo. Mcmillan
and Mrs. o. Keffer, and all others who
assisted deserve the everlasting graft
tude of all camp members. Their
efforts were fully appreciated by all
present. The tables were bountifully
filled after all had feasted. No matter
what mistakes the Jsckson Woodmen
may have made they have certainly
selected for wives and sweethearts ladies
who can provide banquet fit for kings.
The stump cake was new feature, and
was as good as it looked to be. Ex-
cellent music was furnished during the
evening by Prof. Pell's orchestra.
Success to the Woodmen and their
companions.
