PROMINENT MASON
ADDRESSES LODGE HERE
Master of Georgia Here
Tuesday Night. Supper Served
At Club Koomi
Past Grand Master Chas. L. Bass
who is at the present in charge of
Masonic Welfare Work, visited the
local lodge Tuesday evening and de
livered an address before that body.
Before the address in the Lodge
rooms the -members gathered in the
club rooms fo the Masonic building
and were served a dinner. A com
mittee from the lodge had the supper
in charge which was served by sev
eral ladies.
Past Grand Master Buss was pres
ented to .he Lodge by Worshipful
Master F. R. Hargrove. His address
was interesting and eloquent. He
reviewed some of the work of the
Georgia Grand Chapter and spoke of
the part the local lodge played. The
visitor is one of the most dis'.inguish-
• <! ma: ons in Georgia and is familiur
with every phase of the wrok. His
elm .nsight and broad opnion gave
to this lodge one of the most interest
ing -uUtresses that has ever been de
livered here.
Worshipful Master F. R. Hargrove,
who was instrumental in bringing Mr.
Bass here, has served the lodge dur-
nig the post year as their head.
During the year he has had many
distinguished Masons deliver address
es on Masonry to the club. They
huve been most beneficial and in
structive. His desire to greuter
familiarize the members of the fra
ternity has beta realized in the men
that he has arranged to speak here.
The Lidge has shown a substantital
growth under his leadership and he
has m de one of the most active and
popul; h:cds that hus had this high
honor.

The music was written by Mrs.
Hines and in introducing it to the

“Youth" gives a splendid chance for
thi stolen: of Miss Harbour to show
to its best advantage, the art of pos

These emotions from surprise, won

delight and esctacy as an ending. The
story can be closely followed by the

It is planned by the Pntter-Spflrer
