Ensley Elks Will Burn
Mortgage on Their Home
Lodge Will Be Declared Free From Debt at Meeting To
morrow—Charity Worljc Continued Despite Handi
cap of Debt—New Officers to Stage “Let
ter Perfect” Initiation
Br CIMHI.KS H. MARRY
EDWARD A. WARNICK
Serving fourth consecutive year a|s
secretary of the Ensley lodge of
Elks.
A meeting of more than usual interest
will be that of Ensley lodge, No. 987, Ben
evolent Protective Order of Elks, for in
addition to the new officers taking
charge, the new exalted ruler, Tom Moxj
ley, will apply n match to the final mort,
gage on the Elks home, declare the lordge
entirely free from debt and announce the
singing by the lodge of “How Firm a
Foundation." The new officers will also
initiate a candidate and it is understood
every one is letter perfect in his part,
and they expect to show the “old heads
just how the work should be done. DiSj>
trict .Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Hugh
W. Hill will be preesnt and will make t
brief address.
The last payment of the mortgage on
the home was made last Tuesday, and
the trustees are uble to report the lodge
entirely out of debt. Less than four
years ago the lodge went in debt over
*6000 to equip and renovate the present'
Elks home. 1
By close economy on the part of the
officers and the trustees this debt has
gradually been reduced until the lodgej
was able to make the. final payment Tues
day. But despite the handicap of debt,
the lodge, however, did not let up on its,
charitable work and approximately
each year has been expended for charity
outside the lodge membership. Free coal
and Christmas baskets have been giver
the needy, widows and orphans have beer,
assisted, the sick and afflicted have been
relieved and by many other acts the Ens
ley Elks laive carried into practical ex
ecution the principles of the order, among,
the greatest of which is charity.
The parlors of the handsome home have
been donated free to the women of thf
several church organizations for their
social and other church activities, the
entire home has been at the disposal of
the war workers in the several campaigns,
Und in this connection not only has the
lodge membership subscribed liberally
to every war work drive, and bought libe
r-ally of Liberty Bonds, but the lodge it
self owns several hundred dollars' worth
of bonds. ,
Thomas R. Moxley, the new exalted
THOMAS R. MOXLEY
New exalted ruler of Ensley lod^e,
Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks.
ruler, is one of the most popular mem
bers of the order that ever filled the ex
ecutive chair. And “Tommy," as he Is
more generally known, stands high in the
estimation not only of his lodge brothers,
| but of the community in which he lives.
A valued employe at the Fairfield mill, he
has risen by merit to a position of trust
and importance. Tom has worked un
ceasingly for the welfare of the lodge for
many years, and his elevation to the high
est office in the lodge is an honor well
deserved.
Another member who is entitled to
much credit is the genial secretary, Ed
ward A. Warnick, who is now serving his
fourth consecutive year as such. In addi
tion to being one of the best fellows in
the world, Ed has decided executive abil
ity and has managed the business affairs ,
of the lodge faithfully arid well, as th *
present financial status of the lodge will
show. Ed shines as a “Mexican athlete,"
but at that he can point with pride on
the record of the lodge during the years
he has been in office.
oN mention of the prosperity of Ens
i ley lodge of Elks would be complete with
out credit being given the trustees,
“watchdogs of the treasury" in whose
hands the financial burdens of the lodge
have rested. They have at all times co
operated with the lodge officials in the
transactions of the business of the lodge
kind have been most active in its charity
work. The present trustees are Tom De
vereaux, U. J. Parrish, Nelse Thomas and
Ellis P. Brown.
The retiring exalted ruler, D. A.
Echols, is also deserving of mention,
for in addition to conducting the lodge
through a successful year, he has also
taken a prominent part in all the ac
tivities of the order, particularly the
charity work.
There are many others who have con
tributed to the prosperity of the Elks
lodge of Ensley, all well worthy of per
sonal mention, but space prevents, but it
can safely be said that the success of
Ensley lodge is due to the “esprit de
corps*" of Its membership in general and
the efficiency of its officers past and
present.
