sand of them are to attend in a

tabernacle Saturday evening. The
members will meet at the Rock Is

o'clock and from there march in

There will probably be one or
more bands to act as escorts and
the officers OF the various lodges
are making every effort to have
the largest representation Of any
body OF men yet occupying special
sections in the tabernacle. The

throughout the two counties and
the officers hope that the delegation
will be representative.
Scott county farmers are also TO
attend Saturday evenings meeting
in delegation. There will probably
be several thousand of them and
since farmers are Sundays special

something doing Saturday night
