Be Laid

Forty-one year* marks the period
between the laying of the corner-stone
of Atlanta's first Masonic temple and
of the magnificent new temple now un
der construction at the corner of
Peachtree and Cain etreete.
No event could more strongly Stress
the remarkable growth of Atlanta than
the ceremony of May 8, when the cor
ner-stone ceremony for this great tetn-
f >lo of the Magonic organisations of At-
anta will take place. Here, upon one
of the great thoroughfares of the city,
will rise a great building of marble,
stone and steel, to house the several
Masonic fraternities of Atlanta.
It will be the finest and most com
plete Masonic home In the South and
ono among the most palatial In the
country. Forty-one years ago occurred
the ceremony of the corner-stone lay
ing of the old temple, then Just started,
now marked by the site of the Bijou
theater. The history of the failure of
that enterprise Is well known.

'ter Masons, local and visiting, will as

The "Crippled Battalion," that organ
ization composed of gallant Confeder
ate veterans with empty sleeves and
wooden legs, asks friends to give a lift
financially. •
Th> veta want to attend the reunion
at Richmond, and they want to go to
gether. To do this they need money,
and It's up to ths friends of ths gallant
veterans to coma to their rescue.
If they were to march down White
hall street In a body behind a band
playing the Inspiring strains of "Dixie,”
hardly a man In Atlanta but would dig
deep In hla pocket and turn the con
tents over to this crippled band.
Just picture In your mind this body
of men, bent with age and hobbling
along with the aid of crutches and
wooden lege, some with empty sleeves
tucked away In pockets. Whittle
"Dixie" to yourself, and send a abn-
trlbutton either to The Georgian ofilce
or to Major W. H. Settle, In Ordinary
Wilkinson's ofilce.
It la Major Settle, himself with only
one leg, who commands this pathetic
company. Major Bettle saw four years'
hard service under General Pat Cle-
bourne, and It was on the bloody field
of Chtckamauga that he left his leg.
All veterans are eligible to membership
In this band If they have lost either
an arm or a leg, and there are many
of them. Here Is the list composing
this gallant band at present:

to prove It, but preserves throughout
a note of optimism, always Insepara
