GRAND CHAPTER
EASTERN STAR
THIRTEENTH TRiENNlAL SESSION
OF THE GENERAL GRAND CHAP.
TER TO BE HELD IN JACKSON.
VILE IN NOVEMBER,

Mrs. Cora r. Franz, worthy grand
matron OF the Grand Chapter of the
Order of the Eastern Star, is most en-
thusiastic over the progress of the
plans for entertainment of the men,
bers of the General Grand Chapter
of the world of the Order Of the East
ern Star, which body Of eminent men
and women closely affiliated and most
intimately identified with the Masonic
order, will meet in triennial conven-
ton in this city in the early part of
November, says the Jacksonville
Times Union.
1t usually falls to the lot of only the
very great of the largest cities to be
honored with welcoming and enter
tanning this body, when 1t meets once
every three years, and there is always
the keenest competition in the desire
to have the honor, and it is most sim
cerely hoped now that the city of
Jacksonville and the state of Florida
stand so honored, that there will be
an appreciative response that will
cause the visitors, and that too I'M
qualifiedly, to feel that when the hour
Of departure comes that Jacksonville
has not only, done it's best, but that
it has equaN ed and surpassed what
even the great cities have done in the
way their visitors have been entertain
ed in the past.
Hearty Support.
It is with this eQd in view that
Mrs. Franz, as chairman of the COM
mittee of entertainment and as chair
man of all subcommittee, is working
so thoroughly and successfully, and is
already meeting with most general
and hearty support. While it is ex-
pected that the citizens will do their
part, for every little help and every
assistance counts in the aggregate,
the indications are that as a matter
of interest and pride the members
Of the Order of the Eastern Star will
have a public support that will enable
the committee to carry out their plans
with great effectiveness and success.
The twelfth triennial session was
held at Milwaukee, in 1907, and Mrs.
