E. B. Warner acted as master of ceremonies, and as is always the case, well performed the duties incumbent upon him. The programme rendered was an ex- ceiient one, oemg as follows: Son"- by C. F. Scharmann, address on theK. O. T. M. by H. D. Rhea, paper on the L. O. T. M. by Mrs. Chas. Wood, a reading by Mrs. Minnie Harvey, and a song by a quartette composed of Miss White, Mrs. Warner and Messrs. Redmond and Warner. At the completion of this programme the people sur rounded the tables and partook of icecream and cake. That this lat ter event was appreciated may be mierrea trom the fact that thirty gallons of ice cream and a wagon load of cake were consumed. These refreshments were . contributed jointly hy the K. O. T. M. and the L. O. T. M.. the laffpr TMticr nlirmf as closely identified with the enter tainment as the former. The occa sion proved a pleasant one through out and will not soon be forgotten by attendants. Few secret societies have proven more popular and worthy than the two divisions of the Maccabees, and this is fully attested by the wonderful growth. ANNOUNCEMENT ! ! !
