PYTHIAN FRATERNITY HOLDS REINS OF OCCASION
SPLENDIDLY; GRAND CHANCELLOR NUTTER
is SPEAKER OF THE DAY

and vociferous applauds, greet
ing his introduction by the
Master of Ceremonies who talk
ed most eloquently when so do
ing, had no trouble to speak as
he was listened to in breathless
silence during the entire time
of his speech. He gave facts,
evidence the stability of the
order, assured everybody that
this was an agreeable surprise
OF him to see so much enthu-
siasm by those present. In short
his speech was a masterpiece.
The addresses of both the
Rev. McKoy, Grand Master of
the EXchequer and the Grand
Chancellor, T. ellis Nutter, men
seasoned in the spirit of Pythian
ism, knowing the far-reaching
influence for good as no other
fraternal organization in the
state is doing meant all to the
packed house of listeners and
visitors. There is no way to on
paper to explain or describe the
effect of each speech. The
people from one end of the
auditorium to that of the other
as well as those who were I'M
able to be inside but who
patiently stood outside, looking
in and listening to the address
es, were loud in their praises to
what was being said.
But the speech by Grand
Chancellor Nutter, being one of
the very best, perhaps, he ever
delivered, presenting lasting and
iundeniable facts about what the
fraternity is doing, what it has
done, what it proposes to do now
and in the future, then giving
data after data about how the
institution is taking care of the
old folks at a home near Hunt
ington, showing how well they
are being fed, clothed, housed
and cared for BIO t h physically
mentally and spiritually is
enough to make any man who
wants to be worth a "Nickle"
be DESTROYS of becoming a mem
Der of the Pythian fraternity.
During the speech of the Grand
Chancellor it was made known
that each member of the United
Mine Workers Band wanted it
to be known that before another
meeting each member would be
a full fledged member of the
Pythians. nv.
The lady quarttets sent word
to Mrs. Lola Mack that they
were then and now making max
ing application to be and would
be at her earliest convenience
members of the Court of
Calanthe. -.
