AN IMPORTANT
SOCIAL MATTER
TO BE DISCUSSED BY THE PYTH.
IANS AT PYTHIAN HALL,
THURSDAY EVENING.
The Social Stagnaton to Be Stirred to
Its Depths and the Town
Given a Boost.

For some time large number of the
good PythianS of Algiers have had un-
der way a plan to introduce into the
order a social feature that will bring
the members and their families in
close touch and be a source of great
pleasure TO themselves and their many
friends. The proposition is to organ
ize among the members of the different
lodges of Algiers social club for the
purpose of giving entertainments, soci-
ables and outings, that will be posi-
lively complimentary and only those
who receive an invitation will be per-
mitted to attend; this in itself will
make the club a great success, and
cause their invitations to be eagerly
sought, and will be quite a novelty in
this age when ever yturn one makes he
is harrassed to purchase a ticket, and
does not receive an invitation to any
event unless same is tied with a string
on which demand for money is pin
ned. The club is organized strictly
for the purpose of innocent fun and
amusement and will not at any of their
meetings or entertainments permit re-
ligious or political discussions to arise,
but will relegate them to their proper
places; neither will knockers" be toll,
Grated and any one with axes to grind
will be told to ''see the blacksmith"
and any one with a Crouch" will be
turned over to the tender care of a
doctor" to be treated for their trouble
at some quiet place where they cannot
annoy those who are out for fun. The
club will give their different entertain
ments at the Pythian Hall, which has
just been renovated and a new stage
added which is large enough to put on
any kind Of entertainment and fully
equipped with scenery and other ap-
purtenances. The first meeting will
be held Thursday evening. July Bird, at
1880 p. m, and all members of the or.
der are invited to attend. The men
who are promoting the club are we'll
known, being some of our best citizens,
with the welfare of Algiers greatly at
heart, and have so enthused those
whom they have been able to approach
that the yhave become boosters them
selves and are helping the promoters
to such an extent that the Pythian So.
cial Club is already pronounced sue.
cess and will lead the social features in
uor town. The following are extracts
from the constitution and bylaws of
the club:
Organized for pleasure pure and sim.
pie.
Love your neighbor as you do your.
self.
Boost your own town; do not let
others knock it.
Rome was not built in day; Algiers
is getting there pretty quick.
When you are with us, leave all care
behind.
If you wish to knock, knock at oul
door and have a good time.
If you have Crouch" see the doc
tor, then join us for fun.
If you see faults in your brother
close your eyes lest you see your own.
IL you have an axe to grind, let the
blacksmith do it; we have no time.
Do not be a bachelor; marry som,
good girl and keep her from being ;
suffragette.
When you are with us all we ask yol
to contribute is a smile that will no
wear off.
Smile and we will smile with you
knock, and you knock alone.

o see | nthis world; do not put on glass
O eS to find the ugly sights.
