fall one million behind, and it
will be certain that it will re-

Knights Of Pythias.

Tupelo Lodge, Knights of Pythias
have elected and installed the following
officers for the ensuing term. C. P.
Henkel, Chancellor Commander; C. D.
Curtis, Vice-C Chancellor; C. E. Lilly,
Prelate; C 7. Williams, Master OF
Works; A. H. Delay, Keeper of Records
and Seal and Master of Finance; E. C.
st Clair, Master of Exchequer; r C.
Sharp, Master at Arms; A. M. Sims,
liner Guard; l.. A. Robinson, Outer
Guard. The term just closed was the
most successful in the history of the
lodge and the retiring officers have
every reason to feel gratified for the
work done. Thirteen members were
added to the roster, eleven by initiation
and two by card and not a single death.
The new officers are considered the best
to be gathered from the membership
for their respective offices and the new
term offers even greater prospects
than the one just closed At the meet
ing Monday night the Rank of Page
was conferred upon Messrs. O.L. Mabry
and H. A. Moreland and DIR. G. A. Rush.
Several applications were handed in
and the prospects are that many more
will follow Come out Pythians, and
help US in our onward march for Friend

Letter From DR.. HovIe

I The news from Tupelo this
morning, by telegraph, of the
death of Capt. John Clark, was
indeed a sad message to us. He
was not only the most prominent
man in Tupelo, but in North Mis-
s1ssippi, and has done more to
build up Tupelo than any man in
it. We will all miss him. Peace
to his ashes" We send our con-
dolence to his family and friends.
This is the close of our second
legislative week, and / think we
have done more than usual in the
time, of course much of it is pre-
paratory. 1t is and will be a
la5orious session, on account of
the adoption Of the new Code,
every section of which will have
to be read if we do our duty. 1t
cannot be lightly gone over, for
it is to be the organic law by
which we are to be governed for
tbs next decade at least.
We now have all our commit
tees organized and the various
chapters of the new Code assis 81
ed to them, and next week We
will enter fully into the work.
The committees will discuss the
various suggestions offered by
Code commissioners, report them
back to the house either favor
ably or unfavorably. The house
will vote on them and if adopted
they then go into another commit
tee on revision who puts them
with all house amendments, in
proper shape for the printing.
Whilst think the revision of the
Code in the main will be accept
able to the house, yet they were
not altogether pleased with the
conduct Of the Commissioners.
This was shown by the refusal of
both houses to invite them to sit
with the Legislature. AS | told
you IN my last letter there will
be at this session a larger demand
for appropriations than ever be-
fore, but / hope we will be able
to hold them down. The tenn
per of the house is not to increase
when it can be avoided. We will
have more help this session than
we did last, at least that seems
to be the sense now.

statement Of our finances, al
