LODGES OF CITY UNITE
AT FEAST ON FRIDAY
After New Officers Are
Installed.

The hundreds of invited guests,
both ladies and gentlemen, who at
tended last Friday evening the pub
lie installation of officers of the two
Masonic lodges here, can recall no
occasion of recent years more en-
joyable, or more deeply impressive
in its entirety
Americas lodge No 13 and M. B.
Council lodge No 95, had each elect
ed officers recently for the ensuing
year, and both united Friday evening
for the public installation ceremony.
This took place at Pythian castle,
which was filled to the capacity point
by the hundreds of guests, friends and
families of the Masons.
Nearly four hundred people thus.
witnessed the exercises.
District Deputy L. j. Blalock, Be-
Gently elected master<of Americas
lodge No 10, and who had previously
been installed, conducted the install
lation exercises which were opened
with an address of welcome by Rev.
R. L. Bivins, of M. B. Council lodge.
Mr.. E. A Nisbet was first installed
as master of Council lodge, the sol
emn and impressive, ceremony of a
half hour holding the wrapt atten-
ton of the large assemblage.
The other officers of the two LODI
ges, several of whom were thus pub
licly installed, are as follows;
Americas No. 10, L. ]. Blalock,
master; c. S. Duer, senior warden;
W. d. Smith, junior warden; H. E.

tary; F. w. Griffin, chaplain; S. A.

ard.
]. w. Cobb is tyler for both the
Masonic lodges here.
Upon conclusion of the installation
ceremony the hundreds of guests re-
paired to the banquet hall adjoining,
where a feast royal awaited.
This had been prepared under di-
rection of a committee of ladies, and
was the most elaborate ever seen upon
a similar occasion here. Long tables
were laden with all the delicacies of
the season; oysters, barbecue, salads,
sandwiches, fruits, cake and other
CONNECTIONS.
Hot coffee was served the guests
along with the steaming oysters.
Among the guests of honor were
delegations of Masons from the lodges
at Plains, Leslie, DeSoto, Ellaville,
Smithyille, Richland, Lulmpkin, Ogle-
thorpe and other towns in this sec
ton, all of whom enjoyed the occa-
sion to the full extent.
Interesting and eloquent addresses
were delivered upon the conclusion of
the banquet by Mr. e. A. Nisbet; Rev.
Ledbetter of Plains and Prof. Bon
ner of Richland, all of which were
most appropriate to the occasion and
interesting to the assemblage.
The "Wife and Daughters degree
was conferred upon a score of lad
les by Mr.. John A. Mcdonald, Of
Furlow lodge at Plains, the exercises
closing with the benediction pronoun-
ced by Rev. Bascom Anthony.
