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, ally representing Congressional, notion, was a Mason, John llancook. Masons who took a hand in drafting tho Doclarn tlon wore John Adams, Benjamin Frank- ■ lln, Roger Shormun of Connecticut, and Robert Livingston.

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.

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!
