ORDER OF PROTECTION.

Five members representing Norwich
lodge, No. 24S. made Deputy W. J.
Walden a farewell call Sunday after
noon and evening at his home in New
London. spending several hours with
him in delightful social way. Deputy
Walden is to go to Sag Harbor. where
he is to be manager of a grain bust
ness, which will keep him there all the
week and hardly give him time to visit
Norwich lodge at almost every meet
ing. as has been his custom. Willie he
was its deputy: The members will
miss his friendly and inspiring calls
and they made up their minds to give
him some noticeable indication of the
esteem in which they held him by this
call at his home. He was very glad
to see them and entertained them in
fine style while they were there. Mr..
Walden does not expect to remove his
family from New London, but will
return there to visit his wife and son
as often as his work in Sag Harbor
will allow.
Norwich lodge held its usual meet
ing Monday evening at the Bucking-

he attends with another fellow in tow.
The orator was also instructed to
