Install Lodge at Paonia.

Monday afternoon. Hotchkiss
Lodge No. 1l9 to the number of
about forty of the members wen,
TO Paonia and had time which
will live long in their memories
The occasion was the institution
of x. P. lodge at that place and
the all night session started forth
into the world very thriving
chapter of the great order.
The Hotchkiss lodge has been
having a great deal of practice
during the past few months and
they went to Paonia with their
team all ready for anything which
might come. The Delta lodge to
the number of about twenty mem
bers was also present and after
the work of the three ranks had
been put on by the HotchkIss
lodge, took charge of the install
alton of the new members and
did it in a manner which won the
appreciation and admiration OF
the members from the different
lodges.
Grand Chancellor Warner, OF
the Grand Domain OF Colorado,
was present and took an active
part in all the work. He is one
of the most enthusiastic X. rs. IN
the country and nothing Pleases
him better than to institute a
lodge
After the second rank had been
conferred the brothers were called
into the dining room where some
of the wives of the Paonia
Knights had prepared lunch
which amply filed the inner man.
AS one Paonia man facetiously
put it "It's the last square meal

we'll have for some time, boys, so
fly at it," The new hall has a
very spacious dining room and a
large majority of the crowd could
be accommodated at one sitting
Every imaginable good thing was
served and when the boys arose,
they felt that they were we'll forti-
fed for the work before them.
In the administering Of the
third rank the Grand Chancellor
gave the Hotchkiss team COM
pliment which surprised them all.
He said that he had never heard a
certain part of the work given as
we'll as at that time. Considering
that he visits all the lodges
in the state this statement is
something of which our lodge
may be proud.
The sun had showed itself
Tuesday morning before the work
was completed and the Paonia
lodge No. 1913 had been regularly
instituted. This lodge starts out
with a magnificent membership
of the most representative men
of the town and will be a power
in the work of fraternalism in
this valley. They are set of men
who are OF earnest purpose and
clean lives and will make the
institution one of which Paonia
may we'll be proud.
A great help to the lodges at
Paonia is the grand new hall
which the Odd Fellows have
built and which is shared with
the other lodges. The room is
finely finished inside and every ac-
cessory necessary to good work IS
convenient.-North Fork Times.

upon going to the rear car, found that
