Council Nc. II, Degree of Pocahon-
tas, will be royalty entertained by
the gallant chiefs of Mohawk No.
IS, at a feast Of corn and venison, sto
repay them in part for the valuable
assistance given the chiefs of Mo-
hawk at their Festival of Nations"
during Buck moon, and to help slim
ulate interest in Redmanship in the
hunting grounds of Donaldsonville.
To state that this affair will be a
success is putting it mildly, for I
have only to name the committee in
charge, namely Boss" Trepagnier,
| chairman, and E. S. Binnings and

this announcement, and il you are
close enough, you will hear him whis-
per, Make it two, Boss, while you
are at it, cause | am powerfully

| to join us, and assures the great sa-
chem that Mrs. Babin will have

ment, and fill all prescriptions as per
her famous recipe, and consequently
very much to his taste. Did | hear
Brother Reynolds ask if we We're 60

To any Red Man or Pocahontas
visiting our hunting grounds on that
sun, we can only say, Look for the
sign of the Indian on our Wigwam.
and remember, the latch string is
On the outside" Come in and gath
er with us around our festive board;
but as Brother Sidney Harp says,
You need not come expressly for
that" possibly because he also as
pires for great chief honors and
blue ribbons as an eater.
On the 26th sun, Beaver moon,
Napanee Council No. II gave a
thanksgiving supper" to the mem
bers of the council, and despite the
lnclement weather quite a large

immense success by all who attend
