{ Che fra ernlty will no q in the Old hall.
The opportunity was made. the reason
for full meeting Of the craft and also
the time fixed foi presenting A. !. West
with handsome Master Mason's apron.
After the usual routine business was
transacted, Judge n. w Bush called
attention to the fact that it was probably
the last time the OIL lodge room would
be used. and then proceeded to give a
history of Missionary in Aberdeen, closing
the remarks by calling Mr. West to the
East where he presented him with a
beautiful Master Mason's apron, the gift
OF the lodge to Mr.. West, as small
token OF appreciation in which he was
held by the mem beishp.
To say that he was surprised doee not
quite express it. he was taken all aback
and it was difficult for him to express
himself in thanking the lodge for the
gift.
Mr.. West was one of the original mem.
bers and built the hall in which they
have met in all these years, giving the
ord-r the use of it free of rent, and now
as the new ten pie is to take the place OF
the old one as place of meeting, it was
thought pro per to thank Mr.. West in fit
ting terms for the gift.
