ELKS TO CELEBRATE
1L LODGE OF
AT
Atlanta Lodge Prepares
Beautiful Tableaux For
Occasion.
Of all; the Elk lodges that assemble
on Sunday. December t. In all parts of
the country; to, .celebrate the annual
lodge of sorrow with appropriate ex
ercises, Atlnnta lodge No. 78. will hqvc
probably the most beautiful set--ice*.
At present the members or th algo
are working earnestly In preparation
for, the annual celebration at the Grand
Opera House and the plans are prac
tically complete.
Hon. Joseph E. Pottle, of Mllledge-
vllle, n prominent attorney and head
of the Georgia State Association of
1 Elks, will be the chief orator of the oc-
. caslon. He Is one of the most gifted
spaekers In the South as well as one of
the leading Elks, and Is considered the
best fitted to deliver the eulogy.
Joe G. Stewart, stage manager of the
Grand, nnd who la considered a genius
In his line, la working upon the scenic
effects to be produced. He has had of
fers from twenty-five other Elk lodges
In the South to stage their exorcises,
hut being a member of the Atlanta
lodge decided to work for his own or
ganisation.
At tho close of the services there will
appear suddenly from the darkened
stage a broken column of white and
purple flowers, upon which will be rest
ing white doves, representing the de
parted members of the lodge. Ae the
names of the deceased are read the
doves, one at a time, will fly Into the
darkness.
Another tableau will be that of an
angel guarding two small children, and
■nether a great American flag. As Dlls
appears a splendid choir will sing "The
Star Spangled Banner."
Music for the 1 occasion will be fur
nished by what will be the largest or
chestra ever assembled In an Atlanta
nudltorlum. Professor Mathlessen. who
has charge of the orchestras of the va
rious theaters, Is now arranging ths
musical program, which will be unusu
ally line.
The exercises are In commemoration
of all the departed members, and par
ticularly of P. J. McGovern, a promi
nent railroad man. whose death was the
• inly one among the members of the
lodge during the past year.
Besides Hon. Joseph IS. Pottle, the
orator of the occasion, prominent min
isters and public men of Atlanta will
take part In the program. Beats will
bo reserved for the Elks and their
friends, but as the general public Is Jn-
vlted. It Is probable that a great' au
dience win mi the Grand.
