HE WAS RE-ELECTED
Messrs. R. P. Lester and R. R.
Fowler have returned from Athens
where they w'eut to attend tha
grand lodge of the Royal Arcanum.
Both gentlemen declare that
they were elegantly entertained in
Athens and that the meeting was
of great interest.
Mr. Lester was re-elected grand
secretary, he having held this po¬
sition for a number of years to the
great satisfaction of the order.
In fact, so much so that one ap¬
preciative member in nominating
Mr. Lester, suggested that as he
made such an admirable officer it
might be well fo elect him for life.
Covington is proud of the rec¬
ord of Mr. Lester and feels com¬
plimented over his re-election.
EMORY BOYS COMING
And Dr. Melton Will Also Ap¬
pear on the Program
As announced in The Enter’
prise before, the Woman’s Club
has set itself the task of erecting a
public library building—a home
for the library which the club
sometime ago opened free to the
public.
To further this project the club
has divided its membership into
four circles—each circle to devise
ways and means of raising money
tor the building fund.
The Third circle is the first to
anuounce its plans and it is with
pleasure that the ladies, who in¬
clude this circle inform th6 pub¬
lic that they have secured
Emory Orchestra and Glee Club
for an evening of music
song.
The popularity of the cause in
behalf of which the concert is to
be given will enlist the sympathy
and hearty co-operation of every
public spirited citizen in Coving¬
ton and vicinity and the interest
of all music lovers in the city and
a large following of personal
friends of the young men.
The orchestra and Glee Club
include a group of twenty young
men—talented musicians.
Who does not love the music of
the college boys? They are dis¬
pensers of real joys.
The program to be presented
will be a most attractive one and
the indications are that the seat¬
ing capacity of the Music Hall
will be taxed to its utmost
on this occasion.
The date has been fixed for Fri¬
day evening, May 7 aud will occur
at Music Hall with curtain rising
promptly at 8:30 o’clock.
Admission 25, 35 and 50 cents.
Dr. Melton to Assist.
It will be of deep interest to the
public to know that Dr. W. F.
Melton has kindly consented to
appear on the program and will
give a reading from Thomas Neb
son Page. This will insure a
packed house.
