Hon Joe F. Odle, worthy grand
tpatron Of the Order Of the Eastern

the Masonic lodges Of Tennessee
commencing the order and recon-
mending it to those lodges where

six hundred Masonic lodges in the
State.
Street preaching was almost a
continuous performance here last
Monday, honors being about even
between Brother Bogers of Nash
vile and the Rrown family Of
Paducah, who divided time. The
Brown family was assisted by re-

Sandy and Brother Rogers had the
support Of a Middle Tennessee
contractor. The Brown family
have been here since Friday.
After long and lingering i'll
ness. John A. Holland of Eva City
,succumbed to the ravages of dis
ease Monday. The interment was
at Chalk Hill Cemetery Tuesday.
The family formerly lived near
Morris Chapel, but located in the
tenth district a few years ago. Mr.,
Holland was SO years of age, and
was man of strong likes and dis
likes, standing up for the right and
and decrying the evil things Of this
life. He was good husband and
father, a splendid citizen and will
be sadly missed through the years
to come. The Chronicle extends
coincidence to the bereaved family.

One Of the most laughable and
enjoyable entertainments ever put
on in Camden was staged by the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union at the new school building
last Friday evening The fun be-
gan when the curtain first went up
and continued without interruption
until the final scene. The costumes
worn by some of the ladies we're
both ancient and gorgeous, and
their headgear was chiefly of the
vintage of the sixties. Some of the
stunts pulled off by the school
"girls" and "boys" were screams
for rural innocence and ancient in
terpretations. The auditorium was
packed, the receipts amounting to
over $50. The ladies are being
strongly urged to repeat the per-
Torrance, but they seem to want to
shy at the undertaking.

The 1916 Alaska tourist is again well un- der way. considerable number of those coming on all of the passenger steamers are tourists and the reports from the South are that most of the accom- modations on northbound vessels for the next two months are sold out to those who having heard of have decided to see Alaska. It is said that there ,vu probably be as many people to come to Alaska this year as came last. notwithstanding that last year the san Francisco fair attracted thousands to the Pacific Coast.
