of America Lodge in
West Virginia.

Royal Neighbors and Modern
woodmen of Harrison County, West
Virginia:
Through the columns of the
Clarksburg papers we want to tell
you OF the rapid growth of our So
ciety. under the management of our
District Deputy, Mrs. Lizzie Seaton,
of 795 West Pike street, Clarksburg,
w. Va, who has charge of the west
ern part Of your State. On July IL
Mrs. Season, accompanied by the
writer, boarded the 1880 train for
Salem, to arrange for the organiza-
ton of Royal Neighbor Camp at
that hamlet at 9:55 a. m. A num-
Der of the ladies of Alpha Camp, R.
N. of A., came out to exemplify the
floor work for the new camp. At
ter the camp had been organized
the officers were installed by Mrs
Hester Ridenour, supreme chancel-
Tor, Mrs. Lizzie Seaton, and Miss
Lizzie McIntire, acting as ceremon-
ial marshals. The work was beau
tifully executed and too much praise
con not be given the Clarksburg
Neighbors. Mrs. Seaton had for
her charter petition thirty-one of
Salem's best people, each one ex-
pressing themselves as well pelased
with the society. The visiting
Neighbors were met at the train and
entertained as only Royal Neighbors
can entertain. Before declaring the
camp organized and surrendering
the gavel, Miss McIntire presented
large photo of Mrs. E. D. Watt,
Supreme Oracle, to the camp as a
gift to them, ana IN honor of IT be-
ing Mrs. seaton's first camp.
July Is Mrs. Seaton and Miss Nc
Intire went to Belington and organ
lied camp with twenty-nine char
ter members. At midnight the Mod
ern Woodmen of Camp No. S24O, of
Belington, entertained the auxiliary
with refreshments, which was ac-
cepted with thanks and compliments
from the ladies, as it was a perfect
surprise, none knew of it but the
Woodmen until the doors were open
ed and the refreshments brought in.
In the wee small hours of the morn
ing Camp adjourned to meet in two
weeks. Mrs. Seaton and Miss McIn-
tire returned to Clarksburg in time
to attend Royal Neighbor picnic at
the home of Mrs. Lizzie Bradford, of
Broad Oaks. The many pleasant
features in connection with this pic
mic will make it one long to be re-
membered. Several guests of honor
were present, Miss McIntire the old
est, and Babe Umberger the young
est, the last named being only two
months old. A farce of naming the
little man Royal caused lot of
for those present. Din
ner was served at p. m. on the
beautiful lawn of the Bradford home,
the ladies and little ones viewing
with nature in her very own to see
who was the happiest. At late
hour the picnickers left for their
homes feeling IL had been an after
noon well spent
On the 18th inst. Mrs. Seaton and
Miss McIntire go to Fairmont in the
interest of the society, and the goth
to Morgantown. They also have en-
gagements for this month at Graf
ton, Wheeling, Davis and Amos.
The writer will be at Wilkes
Barre, Pa, on the Esd to attend the
annual picnic of the Modern Wood
men of Luzerne county and organize
a Rayol Neighbor camp at that
place.
Fraternally submitted.
