MASONIC LEADERS IN AMERICA.
Christum Science Monitor.
In those clnys, when the mition up-
pears to be turning with now interest to
tho faith of Its founders,, nnd time-
honored maxims nnd slogans ore once
more coming into use, many a roader of
history, refreshing his knowledge of tho
early struggle for independence will, no
doubt, come upon the well-known triad,
“Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’’ with
out discovering anything, in the early
popularity of those words, to suggest a
Masonic relationship. Probably there arc
even members of tho Masonic order who
have never concerned thomselveB with
shell an implication. Yot anyone, within
or without tho fraternity, taking the
trouble to search for facts, will very
likely bo Burprisod to find how generally
the lending men concerned in establish
ing tho United States were MasoiiB. All
the fatpilinr historical incidents, when re
read in the light of Masonic facts, as
sume a now intorcst, if not a now signif
icanceJ ‘' Paul Revere’s Ride,’' so well
celebrated by Longfellow’s verses, might
be famous, likowiso, ob a Masonic ex
ploit. Not only wno Paul Rovore him
self a Mason, hut so was Robert New
man, who hung the signnl lantern in the
Old North church, and so also was Wil
liam Dawes, who gnvo' the alarm by way
of Roxbury, as Revoro did by way of
Charlestown, .lames Otis, tho Bostonian
whoso pamphlets inveighod against tho
arbitrary measures of tho crown and
paved the way for revolution, nnd Pat
rick Henry, whoso eloquence in tho Vir
ginia Houso of Burgesses helped to bring
the South to tho support of the cause,
were Masons; so were Samuel Adams,
JoBoph Winrron nnd Josiah Quincy, who
joined with Otis and Rovore in lnying
plans. for' tho revolution at the Green
Dragon inn. Tho famous Boston ton
party, according to tho information gath
ered by Madison 0. Peters, was project
ed in tho residence of a Mason, and its
descent upon tho ships at T wharf was
led by mombors of St. Androw’s lodge,
headed by Paul Revere, then one of its
junior officers.
It is a nifjttor of fairly common knowl
edge that Masonic names wore numorous
among tho signors of tho Declaration
of Independence. As n matter of fact,
there wero fifty-six signors, and all but
six woro members of tho fraternity. Tho
signer of tho completed documont, form,

was a Mason, John llancook. Masons
who took a hand in drafting tho Doclarn

■ lln, Roger Shormun of Connecticut, and
Robert Livingston. Some say that
Thomas Jefferson, also n membor of this
committee, was likewise a Mason. Cer

OBITUARY.
The town of, Haralson, the surround

eta nre poorer and sadder since tho death
on Juno 2, 1921, of Bro. J. W. Hutchin
son, usually known as Wilbur Hutchin
son, for he was a God-fearing man, full
of love and of wisdom, and of faith in
his fellowmen. He was ail example of
true service to his community und his
church, and ii model as hbsljand, father
and friend.
He was- born near Haralson on Jan.
81, 1861, tho son of Benjamin and Ca
milla Hutchinson; joined" the MethodiBt
church early in life, and live a consistent
and useful life. On Dec. 28, 1886, he
was married to Miss Mollie T. Gray, who
survives him. They were the parents of
twelve excellent children, only, one of
whom had passed over before his father
into the Plains of Peace, flvb sons and
six daughters remaining as a comfort a id
stay to their mother.
Bro. Hutchinson was for a number of
years a steward in Haralson Methodist
church, a trustee of tho same institution
until the time of his death, a Mason tme
and tried, and a Commissioner of Coweta
c.ounty for twelve years, serving in such
capacity at the time the present court
house was built. His long record of ser
vice would tax the capacity of a large
volume to print it all. He was always
ready to do his utmost to help others, and
made it his business to see that others
were made as comfortable as his re
sources made possible.
As husband and father, he was a
model. With loving firmness ami t, „ i
strength he led his children ft
difficult pathways of youth and a ff
hood, instilling into them that '

Masonic degrees. Many Masons gave
distinguished service. There was Ethan \
Allen, of Ticonderoga fame; Capt, Cor
coran, of Allen’s Green Mountain boys';
Col. William Barton, capturer of Gon.
Proscott, of tho king’s forces; and Hen-
domon, tho horo of Harlem Heights, who,
captured by tho British, was paroled
through tho interposition of a Masonic
brother. Robert Morris, tho financier of
tho Revolution, was a Mason; so was a
Polish Jow named Haym Solomon, a
Philadolphian, who is said to have given
upward of $650,000 to the support of
America in tho great struggle. John
Marshall, Alexander Hamilton nnd
Jnmcs Mndison all wore Masons. It is
a record that may well load members of |
the order to look to thoir laurels.
Well, is it Hot Enough for You?
I say it is! And this hot weather is trying on your
feet, and when those good old faithful servants—
your feet—give out, you are all in, down and out.
Take good care of your feet; you need them in
your business.
Those old shoes you are wearing are worn down
pretty thin—they don’t protect your feet as your feet
should be protected, coming in such close contact
with , the hot dands.
Let us work your old ^hoes over and give them
new life.
New rubber heels make your feet more comfort
able; new half-soles hold your feet off the ground.
And, too, we have for men and women some
light and soft low-cut slippers—just a little foot cov
ering for hot weather. These slippers are fine for
easy and comfortable wear.
