pressed on the committee his plan for
the distribution of the money receiv-
ed among the men, each of the vete-
rams securing a certain amount for
himself. This pain is also being con-
sidered by the committee and Will De
taken up by the executive committee.
There was a small attendance at the
meeting, only eight members being
present. 1t was decided to call a
uicCllh6 vi thC 6thtieA
Nav 10. which each member will be
urgently requested to attend. At
that meeting the disposition of funds
will be. gone over and the various
plans that have been suggested Will
be acted upon.

the theatres, schools or motion picture
houses and several plans were evolved

 And The Delta in reporting his death which occurred the fifteenth of Dec emder 1913:-- The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at Mabelvale Ark Thursday morning December 18th. The cortege was over a mile long attesting the esteem in which h he was held in his community. It was as simple as the life which the founder had lived. Behind the casket marched the lodge of masons. followed by the Sigma Nus, after them the long pro- cession of mourners.

One In Our Midst

Ozark enjoys the genial ac- quaintance of . modest little woman who is too democratic 10 boast of ancestral preference and too individual to even wear the robe of honor of distinguished parents; we refer to Mrs A. w.
 Milling, the daughter of the late James Frank Hopkins, who was the founder of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, January lst, 1869, at the Virginia Military Institute. He was the son of Col. John w. Hopkins whom The Dekta of Sigma Nu reports to come of distinguished Scotch Irish ances
 tra. the writer further states that he was a man of means. own ing at one time more than twenty five thousand acres of land in Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and Arkansas. He was elected mayor of Little Rock Tn 1886.
 His wife was the daughter of Hon. J. C. Craig a soldier of rank in the Indian wars. Thus James F. Hopkins bore in his veins a strength and dignity that were realized in his beauti- full life which was given to the establishing a brotherhood n the scholarship of our nation. Most of the universities and strong colleges have chapters and many of them magnificent buildings in which to perpetuate the noble aspirations of his heart. He himself organized the chapter at Little Rock.
 It is not within our province to set forth the virtues of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. this order is well known having now above twelve thousand members, but rather to call attention to the fact that this worthy little wom- an in our midst is the daughter of that distinguished church man and brother to man. He and his wife were members of the church that president Will sons father was pastor of, not that this fact made them great, but it has become choice incl dent in those truly great lives. for Mrs. Hopkins was worthy helpmeet sharing in the beauti- full service to mankind. for we note in her obituary by The Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star the following tribute:- As the death winch was recorded in our last proceedings of your dearly beloved Past Grand Mat ron and mora dearly beloved
