its business last night and adjourned
to meet in South McAlester next
year.
The session has been a very success
full and very harmonious one; and its
meetings have drawn the delegates
more closely together and strengthen
ed their faith in their beloved order.
They felt that it "has been good to
be here" and the change afforded
them by the visit to Tulsa has been
beneficial to them in every way and
greatly enjoyed by all.

business. The election Of officers was
the most important, and the mstalla-

pressive and witnessed by one of the
largest gatherings during the entire
