no mug ubF vi pUluou rtaBio Icuhiou
held in Reynodsville yesterday was one
OF the best the order has had In recent
years. A good sized crowd WIS present
all day and special train Of seven
coaches was run from the farthest points
OF Clear6eld county carrying castles
from Peale, Houtzdale, Woodland,
Clearfeld and other points. Many Of
the local business places were finely
decorated and the cltlzens extended
warm welcome TO all visitors.
The reunion opened Monday night
when the business meeting OF the AS
sociation was held in the hall Of the
local castle. The following officers
we're elected for the coming year:
President, William Witherson, Houtz-
dale; Vice President, Thomas Justham,
Of Reynoldsville, Secretary, Aaron
Crane, OF Osceola Mills Treasurer, j.
W. Newcombe, Houtzdale The Grand
Lodge OF the order In Pennsylvania will
be held In Williamsport next year and
when the delegates came to consider
the question OF place for holding the
next annual reunion, they thought 1t
advisable to name Williamsport as the
city. II is hardly possible that the
Grand Lodge will ever come closer TO
the reunion district and many will be
induced to go next year on that account.
