 The open meeting of Columbia lodge. Ancient Order United Worl0nen at Yeomans' hall, Monday evening, June 18th, was the largest and best yet. Past Grand Master John C.

Miss Holmes and Miss Staly delighted the audience with several piano selections and songs. About a year ago Columbia lodge was instituted, and Past Master Warknan Trant was in a measure instrum entaI in its formation. There must be some Q thing about this body of members that means much to him, as he voluntarily proposed to furnish enough to do the interior work in the hall which the A.. o. U. w. occupy. All three of the speakers spoke in the highest terms of Columbia lodge, and what 1t meant to the town.
 A number of young men are cons1d- d- ering becoming members of one or the best frateTnal organizations that need be. Master Workman George H.. Chapmlin. looking over the audience, stated that the ladies also were en- thusiaistic as well as the men for tha welfare and the betterment of condi- tions of Columbia lodge, O. U. A. M.
