Alexandria Lodge, ~. r. o. f., WIZ
uonor Its Dead by a Beautiful SER
vice in a Magnificent Home-hOh' N'
r. w. Duke, of Charlottesviiie' ora-
tor of the Occasion.
An Endless wave the throng goes by,
Each toward the Turing goal.
III rouohout the hour I've sought the eye
Rut Strange is every SOUL
And some are glad and some are sad
while some, of Loves own mien,
Move through that sea, Dut ne er 10 me
Comes faces of some I've seen.
And so it is, we are here today and
with us there may be no tomorrow.
But while life lasts it is refreshing to
know that you are remembered after
all that is mortal Of you is placed be-
yend the ken OF trouble and you are
consigned to mother earth, from whose
bourne no traveller returns. In the
spirit Of true Christian charity the Be-
nevolent Protective Order Of Elks the
world over has set aside one day IN
memory Of those who have preceded
the active members to the other world.
In fulHlltnent OF the command OF the
supreme body, and with due rever-
ence TO the Exalted Ruler OF the
Universe for his manifold kindness to
them, Alexandria Lodge, No. 758, with
the loved ones OF the dead and many
friends, will assemble in the home on
Prince street Sunday night. Services
appropriate to the sad occasion have
been arranged by the memorial com
mittee, and while the annual reminder
Of departed relation or friend who IN
days gone by moved in and out among
his fellowmeu, enjoying his pleasures
and sharing his sorrows, the services
will be iraught with features long to be
remembered as being ordained and car
ried out by sympathetic hands.
