And for all of this indebted to the
loyalty and fidelity displayed by the

have stood firmly in defense of the
purposes and plans of the order, when
defenders were needed and were not
as numerous as at present.
Without the OLD GUARD there

renew with them and all neighbors
assembled, the obligation that binds
us together as neighbors Of great
fraternity.

One hundred and thirty members
of Aztec camp No. 30 assembled at
Woodmen hall last evening to par
ticipate in the celebration in honor
of the "Old Guards in accordance
with the suggestion made by Head
Consul Boak few weeks ago, that
the first meeting night in December
be set aside for a fitting apprecia-
= ton of those whose loyalty and ef-
forts made the lodge the substantial
organization it now is. Much credit
for the success of the event is due
to the members of the committee,
Messrs. W. 2. Blankenship, j. P. Co.'S
ton and l.. f. Dunn, who arranged the
interesting program.
Promptly at $3.50 ]. C. Sanford,
master of ceremonies, called the meet
ing to order and in few well chosen
words stated its object. That those
who had passed to the "other side
might be present in memory, he re-
quested the clerk to call their. names.
The list totaled "a and numbered
many of those who had prominent
part in the upbuilding of the county
and an active part in the organiza-
tion's progress. Then followed the
names of the "Old Guards" who were
present. Each in turn was escorted
to the banquet table and seated in
the honor places, where they were
presented with pink carnations, the
emblem of distinction on this occasion.
In the city there are twenty four eli
gibles, those who were able to share
the pleasures of the memorable event
being the Messrs. J. p. Coston, S. w.
Raymond, George Weaver, John Nor
lock, Charles Naegline, w. H. La
Count, j. Fl. Alexander, Frank Cunhs
and P. T. MacCartney. Around the
festal board were also assembled the
many who had come to pay their
quota of honor to these "Old Guards. +"

ed by Cartarer Joe Taylor, the COM
