The Heptasoph Celebration.

The annual mid summer celebration
and roll call of Oconee Conciave, No. S27,
Improved Order Heptasophs, was pulled
off in great style. About 70 members of
the order were present, including a num-
Der from Westminster.
Refreshments, consisting of ice cream,
cake, Lemonade, sandwiches of different
kinds, melons, ETC., were served in great
abundance, which alone has made Hep
tasoph functions success.
The roll call was very impressive, which
included every member initiated since
the institution of the conclave. When
the name of a deceased brother was
called all present rose to their feet and
bowed their heads
This conclave was instituted in Novem-
Der, 1901, and since that time five deaths
have occurred among the membership,
and all death claims have been promptly
paid.
District Deputy Supreme Archon j. b.
Sloan, of Atlanta, was present and made
an Instructive talk. He complimented
the conclave very highly, and said it was
one of the best in his district, which is
composed of South Carolina and parts of
Georgia and North Carolina.
The Arohon, Mayor James Thompson,
announced that the conclave would serve
its fifth annual banquet on Thanksgiving
evening, and invited all present last
Thursday evening to como to the ban
quet and bring their friends, which as
sures a large attendance.
Four candidates were initiated. which
gives the conclave 8S members in good
standing - the largest membership of
any secret order in Walhalla. The meet
ing was tumultuous! The hall in which
the meeting was held was examined by
experts the day following to ascertain
the damage done, but everything was
reported all right. The old Heptasophs
who wero present say they had a asplendid
time comforting side degrees, and the
newly initiated hope they will be able to
get their revenge on somebody else
later on.
Too much praise cannot be given the
committee on arrangements.
