RECEPTION TO MR. HYNDS.
The Local Lodge Odd Fellows |
Entertained the Grand Master.
Tbe first secret order blow-out
of the season was that of the local
lodge of Odd Fellows on Thursday
night of iast week, given in honor
of Past Grand Master John A.
Hynds, of Atlanta. The reception
consisted of an oyster supper, con-,
ferring the third degree, degree
staff drills, and an address by Fast
Grand Master Hynds.
The distinguished guest came in
shortly after 8 o’clock, and imme¬
diately after the ceremonies inci¬
dent to his reception the floor was
turned over to the Degree Captain,
who at once arranged for confer¬
ring the third degree on a candi¬
date who was in waiting. To say
the work was beautifully done is
putting it mildly. From the time
the candidate entered the hall all
through the impressive ceremonies
belonging to this degree, up to the
time the degree staff was seated
after the last drill—each member
showed conclusively that he had
his individual part perfectly in
hand, while the drill work was es¬
pecially fine. Past Grand Master
Hynds, in his address to the lodge,
complimented this feature of the
work very highly; in tact he did
not hesitate to say that he had
never seen the work more impress
ively rendered. He took occasion
to say that, in his judgment, the
team was sufficiently well drilled
to compete for one of the prizes at
the next State encampment.
At 9 o’clock the lodge and its
visiting brethren repaired to the
restaurant of Mr. \Y. L. Shepherd,
where they were treated to one of
the most delightful oyster suppers
over given in this city. For
sumptuous spread Mr. Shepherd
received the sincere thanks of the
lodge.
After the supper had been
the “fellows > > returned 10 the hall,
where they enjoyed, for lully
hour, the magnificent address oi
Past Master Hynds. His
was eloquent, masterly and
priate to the occasion.
Representatives from the
at Monroe and Litbonia were
ent and gave appropriate,
talks.

Thanks.
To my many frier.ds who helped
me in my race for Mayor, I wish
to express my heartfelt thanks for
their support: and although just

put forth every effort to assist the

Very sincerely yours,
