This City.

AO 1OAAO wing IL JILL tAAO COAuuuO
of the Pine Poker, of Pine City,
will be of interest to many Vir-
ginia readers who already enjoy
the acquaintance Of Mr.. Greeley,
president of the new State Bank
of Virginia, which will formally
open it's doors a month hence:
Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas Greeley
were the guests Of honor at a
farewell party given by the
Knights Of Pythias at Castle Hall
last evening. And in this parting
occasion the Pythian Sisters
shared most appropriately. Mr..
and Mrs. Greeley have been
among Pine City's foremost resi-
dents for many years and it was
but fitting that the lodges in
which they have been actively
identified to a marked degree
should tender them this farewell
tribute.
Mr.. Greeley has been an active
participant in the public life Of
Pine City and Pine county for
many years. He has enjoyed the
respect and esteem of his fellow
men in business, in public trust,
in society, and we are loath to
have him leave our midst although
in so doing we assert quality of
selfishness, for he leaves to enter
a broader sphere Of business life
to take up greater responsible
ties, but to live in a land where
opportunities for greater achieve
ment are rife. With the leaving
of Mrs. Greedy Pine City loses one
Of it's most active and successful
social workers. In the circles of
Pythian Sisterhood she has achiev
ed particular eminence, having at
tanned the highest office in the gift
of that Order in the state Of Min
nesota, and it is especially signi-
ficant that the members Of the
local lodge should feel her loss
keenly. Her CHEEKY and kindly
smile and greeting will be missed
by her many friends in this COM
munity.
Our readers will join with us
in the approving comments which
we have made for this worthy
couple in the proceeding para
graph, and we will continue by
briefly summarizing the proceed
ings Of the farewell party. +. NJ.
Smith, as Chancellor Commander
of the local X. of P. lodge, acted
in the capacity of chairman Of
the evening and he announced the
various numbers. j. Y. Brecken-
ridge made a few we'll chosen re-
marks on "Our Departing
Brother, and H. w. Harte made
a decided hit when he more es-.
pecially addressed the ladies on
the topic of "Our Pythian Sis
ters.' +. E. Smith made an ap-
propriate presentation speech on
behalf Of the Knights, at the con-
clusion of which he presented Mr..
Greeley with a beautiful ring
bearing the K. of P. emblem set
with chip diamonds. On behalf
Of the Sisters Mrs. w. P. Grotty
made a very impressive address
and presented Mrs. Greeley with
a handsomely bound copy Of
Myrtle Reeds book, "A Weaver
of Dreams. - The presents were
given as tokens bearing the trust
that the recipients would ever re-
gard them as mementos of a
cherished and lasting friendship.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Greeley were
overcome by the liberal reception
and manifestations of esteem and
their responses were briefly spok-
en-. Miss Emma Gum delighted
her auditors with couple of read
ings, one Of which was rendered
with violin accompaniment by
Knight Sobotka. Several we'll
selected vocal numbers were con-
tributed in pleasing style by the
following talent: Mrs. F. NJ.
Smith and Knights McCleary and
Olsen.
A dainty service of light re-
freshments followed the program,
and after a brief social session
and the united singing Of "Auld
Lang Syne' the guest repaired to
their various homes bidding Mr..
and Mrs. Greeley a sincere God
speed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Greeley leave to-
day for Virginia in which city Mr..
Greeley has the presidency of a
large and substantial banking
institution. May success attend
them.
