set on fire a few minutes before.

once notified the owners or the
building, who reside a short distance
from the warehouse.

TRUSTEES H0N0RED At
BURNING OF MORTGAGE

Nessrs. Paul V. Masters, John Pei
cher. Frank Foggin, trustees of Rich
mond Lodge No. 66, F. G A. M; Z.
C. Jones, treasurer, and Albert NOT
denboltz. ex-trustee, were the recipl-
ents of handsomely ~engrossed testl-
moniaIs on the occasion of the burn
ing of the mortgage on the 7th inst.
1t was due in a large measure to the
very capable manner in which these
gentlemen had handled the finances
of the lodge that the cancellation OF
the mortgage was made possible, n
thn members rewarded them for
their fidelity and zeal by the presen-
tation to each of them of the hand-
some testimonials.
These gentlemen had labored I'M
ceasingiy to overcome the debt which
rested on the lodge building, and 1t
is due to their devotion to the duties
imposed upon them by their fellow
members that the happy result was
finally settled.
1t was thought fitting that the ef-
forts should be commemorated, and
the result was the presentation OF
the testimonials. The recipients were
greatly touched by the manifestation
of regard their brethren felt for
them, and it is a foregone conclusion
that the testim onials will always be
highly priced by them.
M. w. Grand Master Kenworthy
made the presentation address, and
paid high tribute to the gentlemen
for their good work. They were all
warmly congratulated by the breth-
rem present, and each feelingly
thanked the lodge for remembering
them in this thoughtful manner.
