| The Grand Castle of the Knights OF
the Golden Eagle met here in the *. G
E. hall Tuesday, Aug. 18th, and was
called 10 order by Grand Chief Chris
tian Cline, of Commonwealth Castle No
6, of Covington, Ky. All officers and
delegates were present except the del
egate from Bolts Fork Castle No. s.
The session was short but very
interesting one which closed at 1880
p m. on the Same day, as most of the
delegation were working men and as
the factories now are running on full
time some OF them double time, they
We're rushed to get back to their jobs,
and we were therefore so awfully hard
pressed for time that we were COM
PEELED to cut the session short.
After the routine of business was
disposed OF Past Grand Chief Allen ID.
Coal, of Maysville, KY, acting as Dep
uty Supreme Chief, assisted by Past
Grand Chief Alex Simpson installed as
Grand Chief officers for the ensuing
term as follows: Christian Cline, of
Commonwealth Castle, Covington. Past
Grand Chief; Bro Charles Manning, of
Enterprise Castle, Grand Chief; Bro.
Jessie Hicks, Of Park City Castle,
Grand Vice Chief; Bro. John. c. Riley,
of Charity Castle; Grand Master of
Records; and the other subordinate
Grand officers.
The Grand Castle adjourned to meet
the fourth Tuesday in August, 1915, at
Van Lear, KY, where there has In the
last year been a very enthusiastic Cas-
tie instituted and where we are looking
forward if II is Gods will for splendid
session.
But the best and not the least is yet
to come so far as enjoyment Isl con-
cerned. The lodges OF Easterny Star
Masonry, to home the eaglets of Webb
vile tenders the use of their hall and.
who supposed that as usual we would
hold the session for two days. They
had prepared for joint meeting in the
hall on the second night of the session
and had prepared a festival of ice
cream, cake and other delicious re-
freshments, something that is hugely
enjoyed by the officers and members of
the Grand Castle end especially the
Grand Master OF Records. AS the
Grand Castle had adjourned for reasons
mentioned above the subordinate New
Hope Castle of Webbville called their
members together and assisted by a
few of the Grand Castle officers opened
the Castle in public. The ladies of the
Eastern Star entered the Castle and
performed a march that was verysys-
tematical, but ] want to say that 1t is
their regular maneuvers in their lodge
that your scribe doesn't know.
But suffice to say that the affair
was one of the most enjoyable of any
thing that your scribe has been engag
ed in for years. The Grand Castle Of
hcers who gave their time and stayed,
and especially G. NJ. of r., J. G. Riley,
who Is well known as the ladies' favor
tie of Grayson, surely were well paid
for their time and to be short in the
wind up, it shows to the outside world
the friendly and fraternal feeling that
exists between the different fraternal
and could som of the So called
that believe those orders
and every person else who doesn't be-
lieve as they do, had been present and
had seen the benevolent and harmon
Ious feeling that existed in the lodges.
they surely would go back home and
close their mouths for ever.
Trusting that our manuscript will
find space in your valuable paper that
Is read by almost every Eagle Knight
In the State and great many in the
West Virginia Jurisdiction ] remain,
