Knights of Pythias
Enthusiastic Meeting
The Knights of Physians held an
enthusiastic meeting at Castle Hall
with a large per cent of its member-
;hip present, and the old time personul
feeling was in evidence.
There were several good talks on
Fraternalism which were enjoyed by
all present.
Oysters were served on the half
shell. It is useless to say what the
absent brothers missed for we hope
that on our next meeting that the ab
sent members will try and make an
effort to be present.
We have some new members to put
through, and an enjoyable time is ex
pected.
