ADMINISTRATION ENDORSED BY
NASHVILLE DELEGATION.
Last Meeting Before Grand Lodge
Well Attended.

The last meeting of the Nashville
delegation to the Grand Lodge X.
of P. was held Tuesday night at the
Pythian Temple. Knight A. w. Fite
presided during the session, From
the beginning to the end the meeting
was exceedingly lively.
The measures discussed proved to
be of prime importance insofar as
the burial department of the order
is concerned.
Resolutions were drafted to be
presented to the grand lodge and one
to be presented TO the Supreme
Lodge thru the Supreme Representa-
tives.
The arrangements for caring for
the representatives have been COM
pleted. Each day brings additional
applications for room and board at
the Y. NJ. c. A. building. The Y. NJ.
c. A. Sec'y. is simply waiting for the
time to come, he is ready to serve
the delegates.
Invitation is extended to the dele
gates to make free use of the Y. NJ.
c. A. building, its lobby, reception
rooms, and parlors for committee
meetings and conferences. The Com
mittee on resolutions brought in a
fine report which was adopted after
a great debate INDUCED in by
Knights Foster, Porter, johnson
Moore and others. Knight ]. B. Bat
to again proved valuable asset to
the delegation by his timely remarks.
One of the most pleasing aspects
of the meeting was the delegations
endOrS ement of the administration.
This is considered quite a comph-
ment and no doubt will be highly
appreciated by the officers and mem
bers of the grand lodge.
1t was pointed out that the plans
and purposes of the present admin
stration were such as to excite the
admiration Of every member of the
order.
The creation and operation of the
Burial Bureau was the first step in
the line of progress. This has proven
such a success that even the bitterest
opposition has been broken down.
Pride in the military department
brought about a tax of cents per
month per member, and now the
membership rejoices that accompanies
from Tennessee will be in the line of
march at st. Louis as well equipped
as any other body of men who may
appear in that great parade during
the Supreme session in Angus
Again it was pointed out that the
purchase of the splendid property on
on the corner of 4th Ave, and Cedar
ST., fCG Temple purposes was the
greatest effort ever put forth by the
administration and that this of itself
was enough to inspire the delegation
to go on record as being in full ac-
cord with the plans and purposes of
the administration. The members of
the delegation were served ice cream
by Mr.. +. o. Sawyers, manager OF
the Eureka Ice Cream Company. AS
is we'll known, Mr.. Sawyers is inter-
ested in the order and never fails to
do its members a kindness at any
! llllle. L ne uelISdLlOl leuIeItu IlS
Company u vote of thanks.
The representative to the Supreme
Lodge from Florida and Georgia have
been in communication with the
Deputy Grand Chancellor A. w. Fite,
concerning the route to st. Louis. 1t
has been definitely settled that these
bodies will meet the Tennessee dele
cations at Chattanooga, Nashville
and Martin.
Col. A. Franklin Steward of the
3rd Ga, Reg. U. R., X. of P has CIV
en- Grand Deputy Fite the assurance
of travelling with the Tennessee dele
CATION, using the scenic Dixie Flyer
! Route.
Much speculation has been INDUCED
in as to who will be present at the
coming grand session.
1t is true that death has entered
our ranks and many Of those who
have visited the Grand Lodge from
time to time will be absent, but we
are reasonably certain that from
