that Tuesday, September %, was the
birthday OF Brother L. ID. Hollings-

the members of the court thought prop
er to celebrate the event by having a
program for the evenings entertain
ment. to be followed by collation. in
the banquet room. After the close of
the routine business of the court the
members were favored with several
musical numbers, after which they
gathered around the festive board, and
while enjoying the good things which
had been provided by the, committee
in charge, they all wished the CHIEF
ranger many happy returns of the day.
Brother Hollingsworth did not disclose
which mile stone In his life was marked
by this event, and the members of the
court are still in doubt as to the age
of their chief ranger.
