THE PROCEEDINGS BYNOPSIZED. Last night the acene at the Olym pic Theatre was one that will long be remembered by every one present and Che glory of the reflected honor upon Griffin will still further endear Hon Bobt. T. Daniel to a penpie that have always honored him when occasion permitted and saw nothing strange when the Improved Order of Bed Man of the United States chose him for their Great Incohonee. He is too well known to require Chat hie virtues heed be publicly ex lolled and like Marciua Oeiiw, lets bia evidence of greatness become him with modesty and not willingly an covers them to the world. Yet, this was a time when diffidence would have been an evidence of unapprecia lion and pct to have felt a z glow of wide would have been ungracefnl to Ilia people, and ’ Gur Bob" pan never be that. Tbs auditorium of the Olympic was crowded and upon the stage eat the fast Great Incohonee, Robt. T. Danish ■Great Incohonee, G. E Green, of Btegfaamtop, N. Y, Great Chief of Records, Charles 0. Conley, Philadel phia, Past Great Sachem A. L. Wil* liams, of Tennessee, Chief of Records George W. Davie, of Tennessee, and the local members of the order with ptheft who were to take pare in the prograim. At 7 :S0 o'alnpk Rast Great Incobo pee R T. Daniel and the visiting members of the order arrived and Sachem Lyndon Patterson, who was Master of (Jerejpppiee,called the meet ing to order. Rev. W. G. Woodbiidge in a beautl* ful prayer invoked the blessings of the Great Spirit upon the assembly and asked hie guidance and proteetjop for Che order and each individual member $ also that the rulers might be given wisdom from above so that around the Supreme Council fire that shall be kindled io the "happy bunting grounds” all might gather and smoke the pipe of eternal peace. This was followed by a beautiful piano solo: "Polonaise Brilliants,” ren dered by Mies Nettie Sherwood, after which Great Sachem of the State of Georgia, T. E. Patterson, spoke io welcome. Ho io a magnetic speaker and io in thorough touch with the order j Great Sachem, T. E- Patterson, wel corned the Great Chiefs io behalf of the Great Council of Georgia in a short speech of 4or 6 minutes. He spoke of the pleasure it gave the members of the Great Council of Georgia to welcome them on this mission to con vey a tribute to Past Great locobonee Daniel, whom the Georgians loved so well, and so much loved to see him thus honored by the Great Council of the United States He spoke of the peculiar fitness of this occasion just at Um conclusion of the war which has so closely reunited the sections of the country, but said the Improved Order of Red Men, an American organisa tion, bad played a most important part io restoring the bonds of union, for they always taught bve for Ameri can principles and institutions. Mayor Davis next welcomed them on behalf of the city. He said : "Great locobonee and Great Chief of Records; In behalf of tbe city of Griffin I extend you a hearty welcome to our beautiful little city You have often visited larger and more impor tant places; you may have been re ceived with greater demonstration, but never have you bad a more cordial and hearty welcome than that which we extend to you tonight, We welcome you not only because we are glad to have you with us, not only because wo appreciate tbe honor of having such distinguished citizens anJ such bigty officials come to our city, but because of the important mission upon which you come. You came to pay addi tional honors tj one of our most prom inent and influential citizens—one whom Griffin io ever proud to honor, one who has reflected fame upon our city and honor upon himself io every station that he has been called io fill, and tbe high esteem in which the Improved Order of Red Men bo'd him, but faintly echoes the love, respect and esteem io which he is held by our en tire city.' ?*As mayor of Griffiu, I- extend to you tbe freedom of oar? entire city, and in behalf of our citisens, I bid you thrice welcome to our hearts and homes." Tbe Schubert (Tub then sung Wieg ends beautiful "Meadow Song” and then Past Sachem J. H. Dwewry, on behalf of the Chickasaw Tribe, No. 14, in a most impressive manner welcom ed them. It was a beautiful effort of this youag orator. H» commenced ; Ladies and gentlemen and Great Chiefs of the I O R M —The Great Sachem of the state by virtae of bis office has offered you the freedom of the reservation under bis jurisdiction, while they Mayor has placed the keys of tbs city ib your bands and bidden you act as if it wero all your own. And now, as tbs chosen mouth piece of the tribe to which both of these good Red Ren ows their allegiance, I stand al the wicket and bid you enter the wigwam, where with that boundless hospitality cbaraoteriatio of all true Red Men, we hope to make you feel that you are at home. We would that you had come to us when "The Springtime her crown of verdua wears / And all the frees on all the hills open their thousand leaves.” Or yet in the golden glory of our” Southern Indian Summer time when the fields are white with the fleecy harvest and the woods that crown these old red Georgia bills have put on the varied beauties of their autum nal. But since you have chosen bleak winter as your time we hope that the warmth of our welcome will more than compensate you for the cold and frost that you have encountered on tbertrail that led you over mountain and valley and bill and dale from your homo in the frosen Northland down to our Sonny South. I trust that I shall be able to im press upon yqu the tribal appreciation of the honor which you have journey ed hither from your far Northern home to cooler upon our brother. We know and appreciate hie worth, hie labors a Red Man, and the many vir tues of which be is possessed as well; yet it makes us very happy to have the Supreme Council recognise these traits in him, and honor tberp. When you honor him, you honor the tribe which adopted him, gnd as well the State which sent him to yoqr council as its representative ; and I wish to say to you personally, as the highest officers of this great order of ours, and through you to every red man throughout the length and breadth of thia land, that tbi» little Georgia tribe is extremely sensible of the honor you have done her and her gifted son. Deep down in our hearts, we (eel it; md though the words come not to our lips io express what we would say, though ths poor words of common courtesy are wholly insufficient to con vey the full import of the emotions that stir oqr hearts, yet we hope that by our potions, if npt by oqr words, to make you feel how sensible we ape and bow appreciative. Os all the tribes io tbis broad South land of ours, it was reserved for a son of this little one to be the firat to wear the broad sash of purple and gold, which marks the Great Incobonee’s station, and tc wield the tomahawk of supreme authority id redmansbip. Little twas thought, when thia unas earning young man first knocked at the outer wicket of the Great Council, that his destiny was set so high. Yet be had been with them but a little while ere his colleagues knew that a giant Ind stridden in among them. They bowed to bis genius, and judging him deserving of honor, they honored him. Step by step he mounted the ladder, until he stood at the topmost round—the first Southern Incohonee the order ever bad—and I speak ad visedly when I say he was the peer of any. He gave bis time and bis talents to the upbuilding of tbe order and it prospered. It grew and flourished under bis administration and in ap preciation of bis labors you are here to present him with its expressed thanks. Can you wonder then that this little tribe’is proud. Aye, she is proud, proud of her many gifted* sons and prouder still of this bright par ticular star that shines so effulgently from out her firmament. And proud, very gladly proud, to throw opien her wickets in welcome to tbe Great Chiefs and bid them sit down with her sons about her council fire and partake of her corn and venison. Again Great Chiefs in the name of Chicasaw Tribe I bid you welcome, thrice welcome, a hearty, honest, beathfui, Red, Man’s welcome, to our hunting grounds. This was followed by Miss LrHiae Patterson, who in a clear sweet voice sang Campagna’s “Foreboding.” The response to the address of wel come was made by Great. Incohonee George E Green, of Binghamton, N. ¥. Mr. Geo, E Green, tbe Great Inco honee, is a splendid talkei. He en ters into his subject with great enthu siasm. He made a capital speech; He was agreeably impressed, he said, with the Griffin people. He knew Judge Daniel so well and so favorably that be was prepared however io find everything here that was good and commendable. You have a delightful city and a magnificent state and you have cause to be proud of both He then spoke of tbe high esteem in which the order universally held Judge Daniel, and said Griffin should be proud of him. His tribute to our city was a beautiful one. Mr. Green is a prominent citizen of New York Bute, and bas been spoken of for governor several times and as soon as the New York Republicans learn to know a good thing when they MOTIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13,1818. see It they will nominate him fbr governor. Hr. 4 Ireen made a most favorable impreMion on our people both m a speaks! and as a strong man. Mr:Chas. B Thomas then sung, feelingly : ”1 love you in the same old way,” which was loudly encored It wdstben lb *t lh * baedsoms tests tnonial Tnkthad been admired To its stage setting of palm's, was brought in to more conspicuous notice, as Great Chief of Records Charles 0. Conley, of Philadelphia, arose, and pointing to that priceless memorial in its gold apt ting—surrounded by all of the symbols of the order—more priceless to him upon whom it was to be than unearned ermine of a kin ga thers was a death-lifee stillness, and his speech was such as all gladly distened to. Mr. Chas. 0. Conley, as the Greai Chief of Records, presented the testi monial of esteem to Judge Mr. Conley spoke of the close and intimate relations that have . exisited between bimself and Judge Daniel, flaid that be bad learned to love him and admire him for bis nobleness of character, hia fidelity lo duty, his Unswerving devotion to a cause he espoused He told io glowing terms of tbs brilliant and successful administration of Judge Daniel. In beautiful lan guage he told bow the Red Men loved * Bob” Daniel. How highly they bon ored him and with what reserve and respect they added this chapter to -the crown already on bis bead. His speech was a most beautiful and elegant one and was most heartily applauded. After the chorus, "Daybreak,” .by the Schubert Club, Past Great I neo bonee Robt. T. Daniel arose to re spond. Tbis voice was choked with emotion, and there was a glint in bis eye, as he began to refer to the present occasion, in a manner that humor was toned down by pathos and apprecia tion. Judge Daniel said in part; I stand in this presence tonight, and retrospect a happy past I cannot recall an occasion that bas given me the pleasure I enjoy at this hour. lam delighted to have with me to night my two distinguished friends, that you may sae the kind of company I have been keeping for the past two years. Mr. Qreeu holds the highest position in tbe gift of our order. He is a prominent and distinguished citi zen of the great Empire State of New York. Eminent in the councils of hie party: conspicuous io public affairs j liberal sod broad minded on all public questions, be is deserving of all honors that can be conferred, upon him. In addition to all these noble attributes, be has tbe reputation of being tbe bgndsonmt man in our Great Qoup pit With the Great Incohonee Mmes tbe sage of tbe order, tbe Great Chief of Records, Mr. Chao. C. Conley, of Philadelphia. What he lacks in good looks, be makes up in baldness, and what be lacks in hair, he makes up in heart and soul and head. For no warmer heart, wiser bead or cordial band, is possessed by any man. I am glad of this opportunity to pre sent these two distinguished gentle mectoyou. And it is with equal pleasure and pride that I present to them this representative audience of Griffin people. For, my brothers, throughout this broad land, you will not find a more cultured, refined, gen erous and gracious people than in this beautiful city. The sun, in Its jourse across tbe heavens, does not kiss the cheeks of fairer women. The stars in all tbs universe do not look down on braver men and women than those who so warmly and cordially greet you to night. He told several very amusing inci dents that occurred while be was great Inoohoneq. And he then aald ; In endeavoring to discharge the du ties of the high office to which tbe over kindness of the brotherhood had elevated me, I bad two purposes main ly in view: Ist. To faithfully <ud diligently per form every duty, to advance tbe stand ard of tbe order,' to carry its flag into new fields and proclaim its beauties and advantages everywhere. 2nd,. To sound the name of Georgia in evety State and show tbe world that a Southern man and a Georgian could fill acceptably any position to which he might bo called. That I have practically succeeded in thia purpose, is evidenced by this occasion. And as I look into your bright and interesting faces, I see many who aided and ass’sted me in my work. Friends, who sympathized with me in my labor Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to tbe pub lic to know of one concern in tbs land who are not afraid to be generous 14 the needy and suffering.

As I traveled from state to state, from city to city, amid ths ap plause and acclaim of crowded streets and brilliant assemblies, surrounded by the joy and happiness of the ban quet ball, or rejoicing in the genial dompanionship of the festive board, say mind would often recast to homo •nd loved ones and kind frienda, and never was my heart won away from ’ The red old hills of Georgia.” Bis acknowledgement of the testi monial was beautiful and eloquent, and bis referenee to the Improved Or derlof Red Men and the record be said they had made, was a grand and slo quont effort. The program was then concluded by the singing of Schubert’s Solo “Where is Sylvia” by Mias Annie Cheatham, the charming guest of Mrs J. H. Drewry. CURED OF ASTHMA After 35 Yean of Suffering- It will be gratifying to Asthmatic readers to learn that an absolute cure bas at last been discovered by Dr. Ru dolph Bcbiffmann. That the remedy is an effectual one cannot be doubted after perusal of auch testimony aa that of C. W. Van Antwerp, Fulton, N. Y, who says:—Your Asthma Cure is the beet I ever use 1.
