A PATRIOTIC PILGRIMAGE.
The Popular and OrowinK Order Patri
otic Order Sons of America Scores
Another Success and Adds a Fresh
Laurel to its List.
One of the most patriotic demon
j strations developing from a P. (). S.
[of A. County Convention was that
held in Hillsgrove Friday of last
week. At no time has the order
met in convention with more pomp
and splendor, nor has it ever had
spread before it a more peace giving
and joyous influence that seemed to
lead its members involuntarily to a
higher spiritual realm and patriotic
impulses.
The afternoon brought cheerful
crowds of delegates from all the var
ious camps of the county with hut
one exception, Sonestown, to the
little Eden in a beautiful vale, Hills
grove, where tall shade giving trees
majestically extend their branches as
if in prayerful devotion aiuljoyously
thankful gleams their luxuriant
foliage to the Creator of their being.
At 7:30 the members of the order
assumed their regalias and formed a
line in front of the I. o. <>. F. hall,
and headed by the Hillsgrove band,
marched through the streets lined
with spectators, to the Church of
Christ where the public meeting was
conducted.
Here the church was profusely
decorated with the National colors,
presenting a sight most cntransing.
The tastes of those who led in (lie
mutter of decoration was up to the
highest point attainable and deserved
all the praise it dieted.
The church was packed and even
standing room was not obtainable,
for the many remaining on the out
side. The audience was a select one
and the interesting program was
carried out in a most creditable man
ner. The entire music selection and
program was excellent and received
deserved compliments.
112
Bro. J. A. Gibbs, smiled prettily
as he arose and liiodistly introduced
the President of the convention,
Ulysses Bird, who took the official
seat, filling it most desirably.
The first patriotic selection was
sung by the choir, "All Hail Dear
Columbia," followed by a fervent
prayer from the eloquent voice of
Rev. Spooner. Solo, "Cuban Hero,"
by Mrs. Charier Clarke.
-V. J. Bradley Esq., after a few
well chosen remarks, read the pre
amble cmboding the principles of
the grand order. Singing, "Tenting
on the old Camp Ground," by male
voices.
A. I". Lescher, State Vice-Presi
dent of the order, </f Berwick, deliv
ered an excellent address original
and spicy, lie at once stamped a
broad smile on the audience which
at times would develope into hearty
laughter.
The program closed with a beauti
fulsolo, "Roll Call," by Mis. Vernon
Hull.
A line of march was formed and
led by the band to the hall where a
business meeting was held and affairs
of the order discussed.
The business of the meeting was
smoothly transacted under the fol
lowing officers: President, I'lysses

game of baseball Saturday at Lope/

of the game as we were kept busy

played with New Albany and the ex
hibition Saturday is an indication
that Bernice does not want any base
ball team made of such timber.
The score was 32 to 11 in favor of
Lopez had Lopez played ball as they
can the score would have been writ
ten with four figures.

Asthma was the cause of his death.
His friends were as numerous as the
falling leaves, enimies he had none.
To bis aged parents he had always
been a dutiful and loving son, to his
brothers and sisters a kind and lov
ing brother, and to his neihbors a
true and steadfast friend, he will be
missed by all who knew him, and
