\\ hile it is not the policy of the
order to parade its Hioefss be¬
fore the pith lie, the following facts
may prove interesting to the local
members as well a: those not con¬
nected wit h the order.
The Lodge was established here
a little over four years ago with a
membership of twenty-two. This
hand of t.wenty-tw'' faithful
Knights placed their shoulder to
the wh <d and with a steady push
started it to rolling. It has never
stopped, Imt Kept steadily moving
Until now the membership 1111111 -
ben; fifty-eight. An examination
of the roster will show that the
uodge is composed of the very best
citizens of the town! Doctors,
Lawyers, Teachers, Merchants
ifi.d Farmers. All religious de
nominai ions an ippresented in
the ianKs and all make t’ ue, lo,ul
and enthusiastic Knights.
The general attendance is good.
The lodge me ts each Mo May
night and unless Providentially
hindered a good per cent of the
membership is always on hand.
Interest in the meetings has nev
«r been allowed to lag and the
lodge today is, perhaps, more en*
thusinst ie than ever before.
During the imil’years since its
organization it has paid out for
funerals, sickness and oilier char¬
ity, over two hundred dollars, it
has a near lial! for meetings,
furnished, floor carpeted, and is
well heated in mid weather. It
pays all bills promptly, has 1 . 0
debts and a neat sum in the trea.-
ury. 'J li* Milue of its property
is about ,$250 00 which is always
kept insured.
The lodge has lost one brother
by "The death since its organization,
b- >ds of friendship ^
strong iii ^ Emerald No. 08 ami 1 he
mantle of charity d broad
ever ready to be thrown about,
L) feel and appreciate this
friendship and sincere brotherly
consideration one must safely pass
the p rtals of this sacred
hall and learn the worthy lessons
ta light.
There are those m the 1 ‘kT
whose love of the order is great
indeed. All love it but some he k
upon it with absolute devotion,
and to these devoted ones is large
]y due tlie great success of tiie
lodge here. They seldom, if
miss a meeting and never shun
work, lie it of whatever kind, that
is for the good of the order. T >
these faithful ones the members
look for guidance and advice and
it- is ever gladly given.
The lodge is now prospering and
wish is that it may ever grow
j n th<? good work it is doing.
