Evidently business is much better in
Columbia than it has been for the past
eight or ten months. Lumber and staves
are being shipped, and when there is a
demand for such product, all other
classes of business look up. 1t is true
that there is not very great demand
for lumber and slaves, but the orders
that are being filled indicate that
better times will follow. They may
not come until after the Presidential
election, but in that event we will not
have to wait great while.

Above Feast.

A most enjoyable meeting was the
coming together. last Friday evening.
of Royal Arch Masons, members of
Columbia Chapter, No Z. 1t was the
annual election of officers, a goodly
number being present.
After the regular order of business
the election was held, and the names Of
the Companions chosen are published
elsewhere in this paper. At the close
of the installation Companion Horace
Jeffries stated that he had a
little personal matter to bring before
the Chapter, and that he would ask
Companion James Garrett to retire for
short time.
He then took up Companion Garnett's
Masonic correer, reciting his advance
ment in the Blue Lodge and the Chap
ter, eventually becoming the Grand
Master of all the Masons in the State
of Kentucky. He spoke of Bro. Gar
nett's untiring energy and his fidelity
to the cause of Masonry and his devo-
ton to both the local Lodge and local
Chapter, and he felt that as a token of
brothorly love and the high esteem in
which the Chapter held him, as a man
and as Mason, that manifestation
of such feelings should be brought out
in tangible way. He then spoke of
an idea advanced and made known by
Companion r. F. PAUL to several of
the members few weeks ago-to pre-
sent Companion Garrett with a hand
some, solid gold, thirty-two degree
watch charm, Bro. Garrett having
reached that distinction in Masonry.
The suggestion met the hearty ap
prevail of every Companion present,
each member expressing his approval
in the most earnest and complimentary
terms
Companion Garrett was introduced
and conducted in front of the altar
by Companions Myers and Lewis. He
was fronted by Companion Horace
Jeffries, who in a we'll worded and
touching speech presented the charm.
Companion Garrett was taken wholly
by surprise. and for few minutes he
could scarcely speak, his heart over
flowing with love for the token of
friendship manifested by the Compan-
ions, as he said, who had so faithfully
stood by him while building his Masonic
carree. His speech throughout was
touching, but when he said, holding the
thirty-two degree charm in one hand,
so long as live l will wear it, dividing
time with this one. holding up Knights
Templar charm, given to me by my
sainted mother, for the love she had fol
me, the pride she took in my advance
ment, and the high respect she had fol
the Masonic Fraternity, brought tear.
to the eyes of number of the Com
panions.
When the Chapter dispursed it wa
the universal expression that the meet
would result in much good for Masonry

The Pioneer has steadfa S t y
averred that the dairy industry was
rapidly forging to the front in Min.
nesota, and that the most excellent
results obtained by dairying would
sooner or later result in that occupa-
ton going hand-in-h hand with the
raising of cereals, with the possibility
of dairying being taken up almost
exclusively by the farmers of north
ern Minnesota.
During the past year, the dairy
ing industry in Minnesota has grown
to large proportions. Very few
realize the gain that has been made
in the production of dairy products,
and the following, taken from the
St. Paul Pioneer Press, will be of
interest to thoss who are advocates
of diversified" farming:
Figures relating to the value of
the dairy products and COWS in
Minnesota in 1906 and showing an
aggregate value of over 81 per cent.
of the value of the grain crops in
this state during that year have just
been compiled by w. w. Wall, secre-
tary of the state dairy and food COM
mission. And these figures do not
take into account the value of the
skinned milk returned to the farm
ers at the creameries nor the value
of the creameries. With these two
items added the difference in the
aggregate values would be only about
S2,OOO,OOO in favor of the grain
crops.
The figures show the total value
of the crops of grain and potatoes
in 1907, in this state, to have been

dairy products, COWS and other
