In a recent issue of the Geor gia Odd Fellow, under the head of; “What the Right Kind of Work will Accomplish,’’ was the following: Douglasville Lodge No. 1G2 has witl in the past three months reinstated more than FIFTY memcers. This splendid result is largely due to the efforts of their efficient, wide-aw ke Sec retary, Dmther E. L. Hopkins. TR6 value of a man like this to a lodge and to a community is in estimable.
