A group of gentlemen were gathered on the street, corner the other day and some one noticed that nearly every one wore the emblem of some secret society. This led one of the older men to apeak as follows: “I never belonged to bat one secret society and that was the Kn Klnx kian. I waa living in Atlanta at the time and a friend of mine invited me to join * Shakespeare literary club. I went with him and when we opened the door of the “dob" room I thought I eras in hell or so ate place equally dan gerous. The black masks, gowns, and other paraphronelia of the den inspired a feeling of awe in my youthful breast. Up went my hand and I took the obli gation. I tell you it was a binding nue too. I never took any active part in the work of the organization bat I was in Iimrongh sympathy with their, aims. Bat what 1 started to tell abont was the early days of Masonry in Thomas- Villa. When ti.D city waa a village, ttiere waa great interest in the work of that order which was the only secret society hero. The beat people in town belonged to it, and attended more regularly than they did chnrch.. They used to be summoned to tlieir meeting by the blasta of a horn. The -sunud of that dd Masonic horn was as familiar to me aa the dinner bdl." In tliia connection it will be of inter est to know that Jndgi Angnstin H.
