Parke Dinner It is a pleasure to meet with my Ma sonicbrethren tonight, and while I look upon new aces aglow with youth and vigor, and taking such a lively interest in Masonery. May I not hope they are practicing those true Masonic virtures that will make tliem better and more useful citizens in their future lives. But I cannot refrain from looking back some hfty-five years, and calling to memory some of the grand men that not only occupied prominent positions in the lodee.but were honored by their fel low citizens in other walks of life. In October, 1800, during that memorable campaign in Which Mr. Lincoln was elected president,! was initiated into the ancient order of Freemasonery. Bro. Samuel Ware conferred the degree, as sisted by Bros C. C, Ball and Thompson Burnam., Bro. Ware married a sister of Sam F. ' Miller, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Slates. lie was a cabinet-maker, and I have always had the greatest respect for the carpenter. My father in early life was a cabinet maker, and the scriptures tell us that the greatest man that ever lived on this earth was broueht up in the city of Nazareth as a carpenter. Soon after my initiation Mr. Lincoln being elocted. the war clouds began to gather and we had four years of bitter and bloody contest. During this period but little was done in Freemasonery and I did not apply for advancement until the fall of 1SG5, when I was passed and raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason. The following December I was elected to the position of Secrelary. In Decem ber, 188G, I was elected to the Station of Senior Warden, and in December,1807, I was elected as Worshipful Master, an honor I esteemed then and shall ever hold in proud rememberance. In De cember, 1S72, I was again elected Wor shipful Master, and at the same timo our esteemed and honored guest tonight was elected to the station of Senior Warden. Here our acquaintance and friendship began and has remained un interrupted through all these years. These were trying times, brother was arraigned against brother, father against son, and even some of our churches were torn asunder, but it was lovely to note at' times a Federal sol dier in the Worshipful Master's stand and a Confederate soldier in the Senior Warden Station. Brother Parkes was competent to fill any position in the lodge, but this was a time when com petency and honesty wasata premium and the brnthern wore looking for a man to whom could be entrusted the the keys of the treasury with safety. He has locked and unlocked for more than forty years, and at no time did it become necessary to explain for an ab sent dollar. In fac. his reports were so full and accurate, that it became a mat ter of poem to have the financial com mittee to examine and report on his ac counts. Were I called upon to define the man or his chief characteristics, I would appeal to the Masonic Manuel, for the bunting virtues, temperance, prudence, fortitude and justice, and 1 would also add charity, which is the hand of perfeclness. His whole life has been an exampli fication of these virlures and an inspi ration to the s'ouDg men of this com nvunity.aad especially to the young man associated with him in the banking bus ness. Take him all in all, as a Ma sonic Treasurer, as a banker,. as a citi zen and as a christian gentleman, the youngest member of this lodee will not live long enough to find his like again. ' . Wm. C. Gormley Dead. Mr. William O. Gormley, a prominent local horseman, .died at his home on Breck avenue, this city, last Wednes day morning at 7 o'clock from the effects of acute indigestion. Mr. Gorm- erley had been- complaining for some three or four days, and cn Tuesday wa at the stock barn of Mr. Edgar Doty, ou South Second street, when he had an attack. After recovering, he went to his home where he remained untildeath releived him of his suffering. Wednesday morning he had a fit of vomiting, after which his devoted wife left the room for a few minutes, and upon her roturn he had passed over the dark river. Mr. Gormerley was of Irish descent and was born at Crab Orchard G2 years ago. He had lived in this city more than thirty years and had been in the race horse business nearly all his life, and had owned and handled many thoroughbreds. He was a kindly man. charitable, modest and unassuming,, a good husband and fond parent, and his demise lias east a gloom over a wide circle of friends scattered throughout the State. He is survived by his wife and four children.

HEIGHTS SEIZED BY BULGARIANS Command an Important Railway Line In Serbia. ZAITGAR GARRISON IN PERIL Austro-German Forces Gain Complete Possession of Strongly Fortified Heights South of Belgrade Italy-to Co-operate With the Allies In Deal ing Wtih the Balkan: Soldiers to France. -May Send London, Oct. 18. The Germans and Austrians have gained complete pos session of the strongly - fortified heights south of Belgrade and have occupied Aval,"a town on the Orient railway, eight miles south of the Aus trian frontier. Southwest of Semen dria the troops under General Von Gallwitz have 'thrown the Serbians across the Ralja river, thus breaking through one of their strongest lines of defense in this region. It has remained, however, for the Pulgarian forces to effect the most strategically important advance of the last twenty-four hours. They have forced a passage of the frontier moun tains between Zaitcar and Kniazevac at a point about thirty miles north east of Nish, have descended into the Timok valley and cut the Nish-Dan-ube railway and have ascended the sides of Glogovica mountain, six miles farther west, capturing the crest. The position on Glogovica mountain Is of peculiar importance because it commands the railway which runs from Zaitcar almost due east to the Orient railway at Paracin. From ths crest of the mountain to the railway is about eight miles. The line of communication from Xish directly to Zaitcar having been cut in the Timok valley, there remains only the Zaitcar Paranac railway over which the very considerable Serbian garrison at Zait car can escape. A Rome dispatch says that the Ital ian foreign office has authorized a statement to the effect that Italy will co-operate with the allies in dealing with the Balkan situation. The exact date of active Italian support, as well as the direction which such support will take, -ere withheld for the pres ent lor military reasons. It is posi tively stated, however, that Italian troops will not be sent to Serbia or Montenegro, but elsewhere. Their destination may therefore be the Dar r.aneucs or the western front in France. A dispatch from Athens says tjat the Greek army may be demobilized because of lack of funds. The en tente powers have refused to lend Creece any money unless the treaty with Serbia is upheld and the Greek tioops Sid the Serbians. The expense of mobilization has badly crippled the resources of the country. The proclamation declaring that a state of war between France and Bul garia began at 6 o'clock Saturday morning was approved at a meeting of tne council of ministers. It is . reported iium mna mat me trench govern ment is unanimously in favor of an effective campaign in the Balkans. SHANKLIN RESIGNS Was American Consul General at Mex ico City For Years.

ENVOYS CONFER WITH LANSING ake Up Matter ot Recognition of General Carranza. a; MEETING DECIDES ON FORM Opposition to Carranza Reported Crumbling In Mexico, Many of the Zapata and Villa Officers Surrender ing or Leaving the Country Car ranza Promises to Re-establish: Re ligious Liberty In Mexico. Washington, Oct. - 18. Diplomatic representatives here of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, . Bolivia, Uruguay and Guautemala were in conference today with Secretary Lansing at the state department to decide on the form- in v.hich their governments will extend recognition to General Carranza. These countries, which have diplo matic representatives at present in Mexico, probably1 will extend, recogni tion by formal renewal of diplomatic relations there. The United States and several of the others will present identical notes to Eliseo Arredondo, authorized representative of General Carranza here. The communication will be addressed to General Carranza end the official reception of Mr. Ar redondo will constitute the act of rec ognition..' , Since Saturday, when the Pan-Amer ican conference announced its deci sion' to ' recognize Carranza, a -widespread effect on the internal situation ir Mexico has been noted in official reports. The chief result has been the apparent crumbling of opposition tc Carranza, many of the Zapata lead ers as well as Villa generals surren dering or leaving the country. Am nesty has been freely granted to those vho have laid down their arms. The work of restoring railroads is progressing slowly, however, -and offi cials here realize that the problem of pacification is far from solved. In spite of the feeling that an energetio start has been made toward bringing order out of chaos in Mexico. Opposition from officials of the Catholic church in this country to the recognition of General Carranza continues to be manifested in various ways. Secretary Lansing, before de ciding on recognition, elicited definite promises from the .Carranza authori ties that "no one would suffer In his life and property" because of religious beliefs. WOULD NOT HURT- ALLIES' PRESTIGE English Writer Would Abandon Dardanelles Campaign. London, Oct. 18. Ellis Ashmeade- Bartlett, war correspondent, who for months represented the London pa pers at the Dardanelles, has Just re turned to London, and in an interview here comes out strongly for what he terms a reconsideration of the Dar danelles campaign. He implies that this campaign, "if it ever had any hope of success," now has been com pletely robbed of it In a simile deal ing with a "good gambler and the mad and the headstrong," he suggests the allies should take wnat troops they had left to try for better luck else where. Of the "few divisions" in Sa lonlca he speaks contemptuously, spy ing they could do no good. Giving up the Dardanelles ??ra- tions, in Mr. Ash'meade-Barlett's pin ion, would not hurt the allies' pres tige. Their prestige In the Balkans has been "reduced to nil" by the for eign office by loquacious politicians and faulty diplomacy, but it has been restored by the courage and tenacity of the allied troops. He assails poli ticians in general and those who have voiced their threats and made prom ises in particular. He Intimates a continuance of the Dardanelles action would go a long way toward complete- y exhausting tne allies' financial re sources. : THE MARKETS EAST BUFFALO, Oct.

DELCASSE French Minister of Foreign Affairs yho Has Resigned. WEEKLY WAR REVIEW Roumania has Joined Greece in de clining to enlarge the conflagration in the ' Balkans by declaring officially that the Roumanian' government in tends to preserve strict neutrality. Russia, France and England have promised to assist Serbia in her ef forts to drive the Teutonic and Bul garian armies from Serbian soil. Great Britain s declaration of war on Bulgaria has been followed by a declaration of a blockade of the Bul garian ports on the Aegean set. The seaports affected include Dedeag- batch, Porto Lagos, Maronia and Me- cri. Neutral vessels were Riven forty- eight hours to leave the blockaded area. Hard fighting has been in progress the past week on all the important battle fronts, latest official reports show. The Teutonic invasion of Ser bia is declared by Berlin to be mak ing further progress. Field Marshal Von Mackensen, di recting the operations of the Serbian drive, reports the storming of Vranova mountain, south of Semendria, and of Smoljinao village, east of Pozarevac, while Bulgarian troops, pressing on the Serbian border to the south, are declared to have forced frontier passes at several points and to have taken the .eastern forts of Zajecaro, some five miles over the border in Serbia and about forty miles north east of Nish. Reports from Petrograd say the Germans appear to be on the defen sive along the entire line, except that section near Dvinsk, which, it is said, they have been ordered to capture at p.ny cost. Berlin, however, officially reports German attacks not only be fore Dvinsk, but at a number of other places. On the western front the Germans record the repulse of an attack on their positions northeast of Vermelles where the British hold the line, and the blocking of French assaults at various points in the Champagne dis trict, notably east of Auberive. An event of the week was the bom bardment of London by a Zeppelin fleet. Fifty-five persons were killed end 114 wounded. BRITISH ACCUSED Crew of German Submarine Said to Have Been Given No Quarter.

Mr. Joe Brooks, of Iirookstown, this county, was a pleasant caller at thi? office last week and showed us several specimens of rare old coins. Am on;: the lot was a silver 50-cent piece dated 1795, which is three years arter the first coinage law enacted in the United Sla.es. On one side of ll.U coin is a profile resembling Benjamin Franklin, with t lie word "Liberty" written near its edge over the head, and fifteen stars, instead of thirteen, encircle the coin. On the opposite side of the coin is the inscription. United Sia'es of America, with a small, slender eagle with head turned to richl, and completely encircled by' wreath. There is also a very small lettering around the edge of the coin, but nowhere does'lhe word E Pluribus Cnum appear. This is a very rare .and peculsfr coin, we judge. Among the collection were two 50-cent pieces of date 1S10 and 181!), respectively; a one cent piece dated 1S23, and a copper cent piece dated 1S43, and also a rare and old Spanish coin. Mr. Brooks prizes the collection very highly, and while we are nol-thorouehly posted on numisma tology, we believe he has a most valuable collection end one hard to beat. Elected Farm Demonstrator.

Women and children, the court says, are not to be insulted with impunity by the use of most obscene vulgarity in places where they go to worship." Democratic Doings. The.

D. hi 5008 ChtoopM Falls, Ms. A In A GALA DAY. ifteen Thousand People With in Our Gates Last Friday! Lasl Friday was circus day in Rich mond. The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, came on schedule lima and gave one performance in the after noon on the Moberley lot north of the ciy. pulled stakes and was speeding over the rails towards Knoxville by nine i clock. It is a thing now of the past. Bui to many, it was a revelation. &n nspiration, and will be a joy forever. the lives of many, it will linger a pleasant memory until the shadowy hand of death draws the veil of night across their vision. Early in the morning the great crowd began to gather. They came by the rain loads, by automobiles, in w aeons and buecies, on horseback, and on foot. Long before the parade, which was given at 11 o'clock, a. m , Main street for four blocks, and all arouud the Court house square, was one seething. urging mass of humanity: and there were people iralore eervwhern 1s bout town. It was conservatively es- imated that fully fifteen thousand peo ple were within our gales, not counting 'home-folks." The day was ideal, and the vast crowd was a hannv. smilintr and con tented one. A number of extra Dolice- men and traffic officers were on hand to keep all vehicles sieving so the streets would not become congested, and the force is to be highly commended for the efficient manner in which it handled the great throng. There was not a bobble not an. accident to mar the pleasure of the day. Considering the great number of people here, there was itlle disorder. Those who became of fensive in any manner, were snatched from the crowd by a vigilant cop and placed in the "cooler," there to await the dawn of another day. When the doors of the great circus were thrown open, thousands were lined up and passed into the tented city, which was a great, grand and won derful sight to behold. The show was marvelous production. There was loo much for the human eye to see at one performance: too much for the mind to comprehend. There were sev en rings, and every act and feat was a marvel within itself, and amazed and electrified the happy throng. The me nagerie was complete with wild beasts and rare birds from all quarters of the earth, and a source of unlimited interest and pleasure. There were nearly fif teen thousand souls beneath thai tent who went through the menagerie and witnessed the splendid and magnificent performances. It resembled an old fashioned William - Jennings Bryan crowd. Our merchants did a nice business and thousands of dollars were circulated. The show pui many a dollar in circula tion in our city that would have been spent elsewhere. We have beard some old "tight wads" and a few who pass as sensible men howl about the great amount ef money the circus people took out of our town. There was more money left in our town than was taken away. Ihe country people and people from neighboring towns and counties paid the bills, and not us. But some men who can not control every dollar that is spent and add it to their hoarded gold bewail the fact thai some other fellow gets a dollar. Fie, on these hu man bogs. What a pity they did not die with the cholera when thev were pigs. The laboring man those who toil and spin those who till the soil and garner the crops, are entitled to some recreation. The boy and girl back on the farm the bone and sinew of generations to be who rarelp ever come to town, but work early and late, are entitled to some recreation and amusement, and so is father and moth er, too Uncle Bob, Aunt Rale, and cousin John. Deprive them of all rec reation and pleasure, and you crush their spirit and damn their souls. Friday whole families were here. spent their hard earned money and took in the show. They were enthused, thrilled and charmed, and will go back to work refreshed there to meditate, to dream, and to converse in the days to come of tha glories of the departed day. Thirty one years ago, lacking just ihree days, the writer then a bare footed boy dowu on the farm, saw this same show, and il has been one ' of the pleasant recollections of his life Possi bly many a boy here on last Friday, thirty years hence, will, with fond recollection, recall the delights of the past. , To the "tight wad" and grouch, we would say: Go and hide yourself. There should be no place on earth for you. "All work and no play makes ot Jack a dull boy." It is false economy to dwarf the human spirit to board a few paltry dollars. So, let us have a few circuses, even if it does cost a lit tle money, for it brings joy Vj thous ands of hearts and homes. And, remem ber, "old top," you don't live but once, and you can not lake your hoarded gold gold with you Father Time says, "Come and go with me," A good, hearty laueh is worth all the hoarded gold in Christ endom. And the circus is tha nursery of laughs. Let's have them. Notice to Tax Payers. Your City Taxes for the year 1915, are now due and in my bands for col lection. You are requested to call and settle.
