TWO Prizes
CAPTURED BY LOCAL EAGLES AT
STATE CONVENTION
Banner Awarded First Honors, While
Aerie Receives Second Award
for Appearsnce-May Win
500 Band Prize

Kokosing Aerie, No. 760, Fraternal
Order of Eagles, of this city was a
hot contender for the numerous
prizes offered by the state convention
of Eagles at Newark Thursday, and
succeeded in capturing the following:
First prize, $25, for best banner.
Second prize, $50, for best march
ing appearance.
The big prize of 800 for the best
band in line was not decided. The
choice is between the Mt. Vernon
aerie and the aerie at GAINESVILLE. The
decision will be announced as soon as
the judges can make up their minds.
The appearance of Kokosing aerie
came in for much favorable comment
in Newark. The parade was thor
oughly well-balanced and the novel
features of the Ladies' band of Bar
berton and the American flag were
heartily applauded by the crowds
along the streets.
Everybody reported splendid
time at the convention. The special
train made it's two trips without a
hitch and many Eagles are planning
never to miss another state conven.
tion of the order.
The banner which won first prize
for Kokosing aerie was designed and
executed by julius w. Headington of
this city.
