The officers of the Grand Lodge
want every member on roll to be
acquainted with the officers of the
National Body. 1t would be well
to know their addresses, where
each Biennial Session will be held
as there are lots of Masonic broth
ers throughout the state claiming
they have a National Congress
without any knowledge of the SUI
preme Officers, or the names of
the Grand Masters and Grand
Lodges throughout the United
States that goes to make up their
national body. They have no know
ledge of the present or past meet
ing places. -
The big meeting of the Extra
Session will open Sunday, June II,
1914 with one of the biggest street
parades ever witnessed in Indian
ola, Miss, by fraternal organiza-
ton. Music will be furnished by
Jackson Sacred Band, jackson,
Miss, Little Wynn Band, Green
vile, Miss, and Piney Wood School
Band The March will begin at
Raspberry Chapel Church, Hannah
and Roosevelt street.
The M. w. King Hiram Grand
Lodge has grown to be one of the
biggest and best Negro FraternaI
Organizations existing in the state
at this time. Not under $3.50 paid
out Of the Widows Relief Depart
ment in due notice of death. This
money is used for no other pur-
pose than what it was collected for,
and that is to pay off the deceased
brothers widows and children. All
money is laid on the table at each
Annual Session to be disbursed out
by the legal delegates present. All
Indebtedness of the Grand Lodge
paid with hundreds of dollars in
treasure of the Widows Relief Dept.
and only 25c per month paid in this
department. There are also hun
dreds of dollars in the Grand
Lodge treasury which is not con-
nected with the Widows Relief De-
partment.
The Grand Lodge records stand
open at all times to each financial
member on roll; also annual re-
port of collections and disburse-
ments in each Annual Session.
This organization is entirely free
from dictatorship and is based on
the principles and policy of the
Democratic ideals, giving each
member freedom of speech and a
chance to elect or reject any Off
Ger during the Annual Election. We
have no so called deputies with lit
tie bags travelingover the state on
commission, misleading the people
by false representatives to get a
few dollars, what we call duck or
no dinner.
Join us in Indianola to witness
this wonderful celebration as hun
dreds of brothers will be present
from all parts of the state
