season was the installation of officers and
banquet given by Chico Stevens Chap
ter No. 10, Order Of Eastern Star on Fri
day January 3rd. This chapter is only
about a year old and this was its first
public installation of officers, this to-
gether with the fact that the i~nstalla-
ton exercises were conducted by the
Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Matte
Davis, of Okolona. added much to the
interest Of the occasion. The chapter
met in the Lodge room at 1880 o'clock
and installed Mrs. ". 7. Mathews,
