". 0. W. INSTALLATION.
District Manager Miller of Little
 Rock, Guest of Local Camp.

Last Tuesday night large number of Mena Woodmen and their families gathered at |. Q. 0. F. hall to be present at the public ill., stallation of the new officers and also to take part in and listen to the program prepared by the com- mittee on arrangements.
 The fFstenymbep on the program was a piano solo by. Miss Emily, Pip kin, and those who have heard her need no words of description to tell them of the melody that filled the hall. She graciously responded to an encore.
 The next number was the welcome address by Judge Wright Prickett. in which he not only spoke words of welcome to those of the audience who were wives, mothers or sweet hearts of Woodmen, but gave a short history of fraternalism which was very good, showing as it did, that fraternalism was nothing more nor less than brotherly love.
 Judge Prickett's address was re- sponded to by the Hon. H. H. Thomas who spoke for a few minutes in his very best manner and his talk was enjoyed very much.
 Miss Maggie Moore then sang De Coppah Moon,' by Harry Roe Shir- ley, and after prolonged applause re- sponded to the encore by singing Mother MacCree," by Ernest Ball. This number was one of the very enjoyable ones of the evening.
 The next number was the public installation of the new officers of Rich Mountain Camp, No. 2i5, Wood men of the World, with District Man ager Miller in charge of the services. It is safe to say that there was not a Woodman present who will soon forget the solemn, impress sive manner in which he clothed each officer with his authority. impressing officers and audience alike with the genuine importance and responsibility of each position.
 The following are the officers in- stalled:
 Elmer C. Eddy, Consul Comman- der.
 Edgar York, Adviser Lieutenant.
 Oscar Afford, Banker.
 P. c. Rogers, Clerk.
 F. C. Montgomery, Escort.
 Doy Crosson, Watchman.
 Hugh Gately, Sentry.
 F. c. Embry, Manager for three years.
 Dr. C. c. Gunnels, one of the phy- sicians.
 After the installation Miss May Parker favored the audience by singing Carry Me Back to Old Vir- einia," and the generous applause which greeted tine song testified the genuine regard in which this old favorite is held
 Mir. Miller then spoke for a few on Woodcraft. and among other things said that almost S300000 of Woodmen insurance was carried i6iit HtIt III MtHd, WiilCil Was HeMS to most of our home people. Mir. Miller is pleasing speaker and told many interesting things about Wooderaft, but owing to the lateness of the hour his speech was neces- sarily short After he closed. it Was annaunced that lunch was to be served in the lower hall, and the crowd repaired to that place. where long tables reaching the entire length of the hall were soon filled and a lunch which had been prepared by the members of the order was served
 Taken all in all the entertainment was a success and very much en- joyed by all present.
 District Manager R. F. @Iiller is planning a campaign for new mem bers in this camp, and eontemplates making the start between the first and the middle of February.
