HUNDREDS TO ATTEND
MASONIC CONVENTION

Indications are that the Fifth Dis
trict Masonic convention, which will be
held at Monroe, Ga, Wednesday, August
10 Is going to be the biggest event OF
its kind in the history of this district in
Georgia. Hundreds of delegates will be
in attendance from Atlanta and vicin-
ity. Special delegations from Douglas,
Campbell and Clayton counties will come
to Atlanta either Tuesday afternoon or
very early Wednesday morning. and will
leave for Monroe with the Atlanta crowd
on the special train which has been
chartered on the Georgia railroad and
which leaves the old depot at $50 a. m.
This train will stop at every station
along the road between here and Monroe,
to pick up other delegates to the con-
vention, and II is the hope Of the COM
mittee in charge OF the preparation that
all who can do so conveniently will
travel on this train, not only because
the train was chartered with the expec-
tation that II would be filed, but be-
cause travelling on 1t assures the dele
gates of arriving in time for the open
ing exercises which will take place
shortly after the train arrives, about 8
a. m.
The same train will leave Monroe
Wednesday night in time to return to
Atlanta prior to midnight.

TO make the appropriation available
for the construction of a shop building
instead of an academic building.
This will release the present cleo

Republican county and the former home
of Senator Robert L. Taylor, rolled up
majority of 1000 for the independents.
According to the advices from west
Tennessee that division will show good
majority for the independents.
The race in middle Tennessee is close,
In favor of the independents. Wilson

of 457 while Chairman Vertrees, of the
independents, lost this, his county, by O.
