KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
Fred C. Williams Resumes HK nter
esting Letters F'rom Southland, In
terrupted by His Illness. »
Houston, Tex., June 14, 1918.
To the Readers of The Monitor:
I again become your correspondent.
Leaving LaGrange on the 7th inst
where I had spent more than two
months in recuperating from in at
tack of nerves which threatened a
complete breakdown of the whole sys
tem, I arrived in Houston to find it
in holiday attire, iis the grand lodge
of K. of P. was to open its session
here Monday, June 10th, which they
did as per schedule.
The formal opening was marked by
the splendid addresses of the wel
coming and responding orators. The
sessions of both the Pythians and the
Courts of Calanthe were daily ex
i amples of the efficiency of the grand
officers of this great fraternal organ
ization.
The last day, Friday, ended in a
blaze of glory with a street narado
of the Uniform Rank, headed by Race
policemen and brass bund, followed
; by the Grand Lodge and the Grand
i Court officers in automobiles, which
I made a splendid pageant. It formed
: ( at the City Auditorium, where the
: daily sessions were held. This build
| ing had been turned over to the re
ception committee of the local lodge
1 by the city for the use of the Grand
i Lodge. *’•
The parade wended its waj through
i the down town business section and
then out the long boulevard to beau
tiful Emancipation Park, where the
work of the week was ended by the
installation of all of the re-elected
Grand Lodge and Grand Court offi
' cers.
The citizens of Houston exerted
themselves to entertain their visitors,
whose appreciation of that hospitality
is best made known by their unani
mous expression:
“I wish that I could always live in
Houston.”
The daily papers vied with each
other in giving space and publicity
to the happenings at the daily ses
sions; the correct data being gath
ered and given to the papers by that
dean of Race reporters, Charles Stew
art, Associated Press correspondent.
The Hon. S. W. Greene, of New
Orleans, La., Supreme Chancellor, was
in attendance, as were also a number
of notables from all over the state.
Rut now the session is over and
the delegates and visitors haver gone
home, Houston is tired, so I, too, am
quitting it, leaving tonight for points
east. Until next week,
I am correspondingly yours,
FRED C. WILLIAMS,
Traveling Representative of The
Monitor.
