Under established law of the flmuid
Oommandery of Georgia, the Grand
Commander is required to inspect, eith

Rt. Eminent Sir Robert B. Barron,
who holds tlie oflioe of grand command
er in Georgia for the present templar
year, being debarred by ill health from
holding these inspections in person, lias
been forced to commit the work to
others of tl*e grand officers. Though
not able himself to inspect Plantagenet,
the grand commander honored the occa
sion with his presence. He is particu
larly partial to this commandery and
feels the keenest interest in its prosperi
ty. This is bat nataral. Dr. Barron
was born and reared in Jones county,
one of Baldwin’s closest neighbors.

the general comment was one only of

The next game scheduled is with the
Mercer Varsity team next Saturday
afternoon. When Mercer asked for
this game, the G. M. C. manager at
once took steps to have the game on a
later date, and on Friday. In Milledge-
ville, as is well known, Saturday is

Grand Commander Barron
knows personally almost every Knight
in Plantagenet, and to many of them he
is bound^»y the ties of a life-long friend
ship. It was with such motives that he
singled Plantagenet out from the com
mands ries in the jurisdiction for the
only official visit his health will permit
him to make during his term of office.
This unique distinction is flattering to
Plantagenet’s pride, and every one of
her Sir Knights is suitably grateful for
the honor that has been conferred. All
the Sir Knights vied with their Eminent
Commander, Sir E. E. Bell, in extend
ing every courtesy to the Grand Com
mander, and in making his visit to the
Commandery one of unalloyed pleasure.
He sincrely appreciated titese courtesies,
and in responding to a toast at a ban
quet which followed the inspection, he
expressed in the strongest terms his ap
preciation of the Knightly attentions
shown him, and declared his love for
Plantagenet and his feelings of warm
personal friendship for its members.
It lias fallen to Grand Recorder Rock
well to make every inspection of this
commandery save one. This is emi
nently fitting in view of the fact that
Major Rockwell sustains a peculiar re
lation to the commandery. If St. Omer
is Plantagenet’s foster-mother, Sir

of the week. Besides, the college team j wards establishing the commandery in
is considerably broken up—several of the first instance, and he has followed
the best players being out on account of its varying fortunes with unfaltering
sickness. E or these reaeons it was very
desirable to postpone tlie game until a
more opportune time, and this proposi
tion was urged in the correspondence
between tlie managers of the two clubs.
But Mercer, it seems, can come on next
Saturday, and on no other date. And
so, rather tiian miss the game, the local
management determined to yield and
play on that day.

to give theso varsity fellows a game
fight. The G. M. C. has fought many
unequal battles in the years gone by.

discredit upon a prep team than falls to
Mercer when the varsity loses to the
Boston Americans or any other of the

well rewarded, and he has reason to
feel proud over the showing made.
From the asylum the commandery

a snuptuous banquet, prepared with all
the taste and elegance for which Mrs.
Jackson has become famous, was in
waiting. After their arduous labors

and they, each and severally, attacked
tlie delicions viands with all the ardor

they were more immediately and more

compliment can be payed Mrs. Jack-

appearance of the tables when those
knights drew back their chairs and
lighted fragrant Havanas.
This was the signal for the “feast of
reason and the flow of soul,” without

the spirit of devotion to the principles
