Sapp, of this city, past worthy grand patron of the grand chapter, Order of the Eastern Star of Georgia, returned Thursday from Macon where he attended the meeting of the grand chapter. At the meeting, he was pre sented with a beautiful past worthy grand patron jewel in a handsome leather case, the jewel being admired by Mr. Sapp’s many local friends. As worthy grand patron last year, Mr. Sapp’s record was a decidedly un usual one. He issued dispensations for the institution of 40 chapters—by far the biggest number of new chapters ever formed in Georgia during one year. It was about 75 per cent more than the next largest number, and his ser vice was truly appreciated by the mem bers of the grand chapter. At the meeting in Macon there were representatives from practically all the chapters in the state, and it was shown that the state has approx imately 9,000 members of the order, and that there are approximately one mil lion members in the United States. Alfred C. McDaniels, of San Antonio, Tex., most worthy grand patron of the United States, was a prominent visitor at the Macon meeting. Not satisfied to let Mr. Sapp get out of the work of the organization, he was made poet laureate of the Eastern Stars.
