The regular meeting of Tupelo Lodge
last Monday night was well attended
and every officer was on hand and at
his post promptly. Important business
consumed quite a little of the attention
of the meeting and when disposed of
the announcement was made that a
Page, Mr.. r. W. Reed, was ready for
the rank of Esquire. He was brought
into the castle hall and duly proven in
the rank desired. In his case was DEM
onstrated careful preparation and an
exceptional degree of attention to the
attending ceremonies. Should this Es-
quire manifest the same measure of in
terest during his entire Pythian life he
will reflect credit upon himsely and be
a jewel among Pythian gems.

Committee were directed to say to. the
family of the stricken Knight that the

a KIND OF valedictory, so to speak, but
Mrs. Hoyle interrupted in her quick,
hearty way, saying, mo speech is nee
essary, Mrs. Clark. We are going to

A 1908 Pants.
The year that's just behind Us

The year that's just behind Us
Was not so bad at all,
1t had Its pleasant features
In summer, spring and fall,
There was a little panic
Came to US, it is true,
But it has all blown over,
As panics always do.
But this we find is leap year,
Excitement is intense;
And single men are looking
Where timber's tall and dense.
Now, if the girls get busy
Propose by word or pen
They'll start another panic
Among the single men.
