ON The ROAD TO

resented at Athens
Captain General Miller, Of Americas,
Will Probably Be Promoted to a
Higher OftiCS in the Gift Of the
Grand COmmdndeFy.

The Grand Commandery, knights
Templar meets at Athens on May
10. DeMolay Commandery is prepar-
ing to send up an unusually strong
delegation. Americas will be among
the best represented Of the smaller Cit

Sir knight A. G. Miller, of DEMO-
lay Commandery, is captain general
of the Grand Commandery. There are
but two more positions for him to fill
before he would, in the natural pro-
motion of Grand Commandery Off
GERS, become Grand Commander Of
Georgia.
Naturally Captain General Miller's
friends at home and throughout the
state will be on hand at Athens in
numbers to promote his interests in
this matter.
There is hardly doubt but that this
year will see Sir Knight Miller pro-
noted to the next high office in the
gift of the Grand Commandery. Two
years hence, in all human likelihood,
Americas will have the honor of hav-
ing one of it's citizens complimented
with the honor of the election as
Grand Commander of Knights Tenn
plar in the state.
DeMoIay Commandery is in its US
ual excellent shape. During the term
now drawing to close Captain Cen
eral Miller has inspected number
of Communicates The order in all
part of the state is lourishing and an
increase in membership will doubtless
be reported at the Athens meeting.

his attorney, has a copy of the will,
