FIFTH DISTRICT MEETING.
Improved Order of Red Men Meet
With Mohawk Tribe No. So.

Mohawk Tribe entertained the
fifth district in their wigwam,
Friday sleep, December 9Th,
composed of the following tribes:
Occonneechee, of Raleigh; Ma
hunta, of Rocky Mount; Iona
Tribe, of Wake Forest; Roanoke
Tribe, of Roanoke Rapids, and
Mohawk Tribe, No. So, of Hen
derson.
To the stranger within our
town Mohawk Indians, on Fri
day night, gave a welcome that
will be remembered for many
days by those who shared in it
and those who took an active
part in the pleasing duty of hos
pitality. From the time the WIS.,
iting Indians came there was
something doing, eliminating in
a great banquet at night, which
has rarely been equalled, pre-
pared by Bro. Bats at his cafe.
The decorations of the room were
of the North Carolina and Ma
tional colors, with flowers. They
were effective without being OBJ
trusive. Instead of the usual
series of long tables, the guests
and their hosts were seated at
the tables used in the dining
room, each of which was adorned
with a mass of everything that
was good to eat. The seating
arrangements were especially
happy. The visitors were scat
tered about, and at each table at
which one or more of them were
seated there were several Mo-
hawk Indians, thoroughly posted
on the affairs of the Order and
capable of properly entertaining
the guests. It was indeed an
extraordinary gathering and one
that cannot help being of the
greatest good to the entire reser-
vation.
The meeting was called to
order by District Sachem L. B.
Edmonson, of Roanoke, No. 80.
Invocation by the Prophet, Rev.
J. A Mcclure, of Mohawk, No.
So. Roll call of Tribes, by Chief
of Records. Reading of the

Question: What Has My Tribe
Done for the Advancement of

preciated by all. Status of the

that everyone in Henderson did

missionerS.

Mr.. Silus Powell, one of the
best known and most prominent
citizens of this place, died Fri

failing health for the past two
or three years, but was able to
be up and out until about two
months ago, since which time he
has been confined to his bed.
Some time last year Mr..
Powell developed a case which
was thought then to be pellagra.
He took treatment and partially
recovered, and his health was
fairly good until about the mid
die Of October. Since that time
he had been a very sick man
with case of pellagra in it's
very worst form. Little hope of
his recovery had been entertained
for several days previous to his
death, and the end was not
unexpected by those who knew
of his critical illness.
Mr.. Powell was about sixty
four years old. He did service
in the Civil war during the year
before it closed. In 1866 he mar
ried Miss Bette Ball. They lived
at Mr.. Powells plantation four
miles out in the country until
they moved to Henderson twenty
five years ago. Mrs. Powell and
two children, Mr.. Ollie Powell
and Mrs. o. O. Young, of this
county, survive.
Funeral services were conduct

Waxed strong in the pure air of Cath

but very imperfectly who have not
realized that love of God is the SUI

that love of souls, the desire to bring
them to God. So true man of God
is he, so absorbed in his concern about
religion that one cannot think of him
except as priest. 1t is not for us
to venture into the sanctuary of his
soul, but the secret of his life can
not be hid.
Long ago, in the days of his youth,
he learned the one ideal of the priest,
the character of Jesus Christ; and his
81 years OF priesthood what have thew
been but a daily study of that char

to reach that unattainable ideal in
whose light all are but sinners? This

Only Apparent Failure.

any kind Of punishment than face his
father, but he went straight to the
office.
"I've failed.' he said briefly. Then
he turned his back and stood at the
window trying to whistle.

The boy turned, the whistle dying
on his lips, his eyes full of surprise.
He knew how much his father wanted
him to pass, yet there was no reproof
in his voice; he was even smiling Il
little, and his grip brought a rush of
dumb gratitude to the boys throat.

Irish legislature.
THE lord lieutenant, as represent
ing the king, is to have the right to
veto any bill.
THE great difficulty which has
arisen is with regard to the position Of
Irish members in the imperial parlia-
ment. One section of the cabinet is
in favor of excluding the Irish mem
bers altogether while the other wishes
to follow the lines of the bill OF 1898,
and retain the Irish members for spe-
cial purposes.
ut would be impossible to exclude
the Irish members and at the same
time ask Ireland to contribute any
part OF the imperial expenditure. On
the other hand, the retention of the
Irish members will mean that they
may have, as at present, the power to
make and unmake British govern
ments, whereas the British members
will have no voice whatever in the
management of Irish affairs.
