milla Lodge F. & A. M., and

to assist in the degree work and
to participate in the enjoyment
of the excellent supper provided
for the occasion.
In the forenoon meeting there
was work in the E. A., or first
degree, while the afternoon and
evening was given over to work
in the Master degree lor which
there were three candidates. The
work was not only very
sive but enjoyable to all who
were fortunate enough to be in
attendance.
At about half past ten
Worshipful Master I. A. Bush
announced that the supper pre¬
pared for the occasion was about
ready, and after extending a cor¬
dial invitation to all, the Lodge
was closed and every body re¬
paired to the Watkins store,
where Messrs. McRee and Mc¬
Neill, who bad supervision of
that part of the day’s program,
had a repast spread that exceeded
the fondest expectations of the
most exacting appetite.
The menu was as follows:
Oysters Stewed, Oysters Raw,
Oysters Fried,
Soda Crackers, Oysteretts, Loaf Bread,
Pickles, (Sweet and Sour)
Sliced Ham, Barbeoued Pig,
Broiled Birds and Coffee,
Cigais.
Messrs. J. P. McRee and T. I.
McNeill, were assisted in the
preparation of this splendid feast
by that ever ready prince of
good fellows, Mr. G. L. Wade,
who acted as chief for the occa¬
sion and after all had satisfied
their appetites, theirjappreciation
of the good offices of those having
the matter in charge was ex¬
pressed in rousing hurrahs.
Between seventy-five and one
hundred Masons were present,
but preparation had been made
for nearly double that number
invited from neighboring Lodges,
who missed an enjoyable time
by not responding to the invita¬
tion.

Immigration Convention A Sue
cess.
Macon, Feb. 19.- -The great
conference and convention held
here today under the Georgia
Immigration Convention marks
both a new era in the develop¬
ment of a greater Georgia and
one of the brightest chapters in
the history of the commonwealth.
Practical results were attained
beyond the highest hopes of the
most optimistic. Every section
of the State was represented and
every industry.
Magnificent were tlieaddresses
made by such notables as Gov¬
ernor Terrell, of Georgia, Gov¬
ernor Heyward, of South Caro
^ na > T. P, Sargeant, Commis
sioner General of Immigration,
from Washington, Commissioner
M. V. Richards, of the Southern
Railway industrial department,
and many others. G. Gunby
Jordan, of Columbus, presiding
and was one of the most forceful
speakers of the day.
But while there was much elo¬
quence and enthusiasm, there
were also many conferences at
the Lanier Hotel, the headquar¬
ters of the convention. In these
committees, it was that farmers,
merchants, mill owners and em¬
ployes, citizens of Georgia, bus¬
iness men all of them, got to¬
gether in a business like way,
and perfected arrangements by
which practical results are to
follow in the immediate future.
Within ninety days, direct ser¬
vice for the transportation of im¬
migrants from European ports
direct to Savannah will be in ef¬
fect. A regular service will be
established between Savannah
and a German port. There will
also be irregular sailings be¬
tween Savannah and ports in the
United Kingdom and Italy, as
well as Germany, An immigra¬
tion statiou will then be estab¬
lished in Savannah. Plans were
also perfected for the receiving
of these incoming home seekers
and for a fair and impartial dis¬
tribution of the immigrants to
all sections of the State, where
there exists a scarcity of labor
and idle and unoccupied land.
The Georgia press was voted
the special thanks of the assoeia
