Isola, Miss. Dear Editor: Just a few words to say something about our lodge, Lane’s Chapel No. 91. We are growing slowly with 25 in number, but we hope to meet the grand lodge ■frith a good report. Our members are satisfied with the way the grand lodge has debit with us. They hare paid all claims promptly and fully, so that we have no complaint to make. We shall endeavor to build our lodge up to at least 50 by Christmas. Yours truly, MARY E. BUCKNER, F. S. Louise, Miss. I desire to say a few words about our lodge at Love Feast. Our lodge is going forward. We have a large membership. A few faint-hearted ones fell from the ranks but they are now making their way back to the fold. All told we regard the Afro-American Sons & Daughters as a busi ness of first importance in rescuing our people from the suffering usually met while sick and down. May God bless Prof. T. J. Huddleston for his . patience in building this order. We pledge our selves to stand by and defend and support the Sons & Daughters until our last man has fallen. Yours truly, PETER POOL, JR. Lambert, Miss. Dear So.,s Daughters: This comes to let you know how proud I am of the Sons & Daughters and I am proud for more than one reason. First, I am impressed that the Sons & Daughters is an institution which has for its motto: “a square deal for all.” Second, its business is done with an unusual promptness, not alone in my case, but from every where I hear of them, the same thing is true. On the death of my wife ($125^00) One Hun dred and Twenty-Five Dollars was paid to me within 36 hours from death. I am willing to say that this is a new record to credit of the Sons & Daughters. We regard it as a great blessing that the founder of this order should have lived in our age and day. Look for us at the Grand Lodge with a new story on our tongues and a new song in oup hearts. Yours truly, F. D. HAWKINS. Areola, Miss. Bear Editor: Please allow me a few words about our in stallation on July 2nd. We had a grand time, ©ur Custodian and his son ware with us. His visit was very short, but his speech wiM be long remembered in this country. He showed beyond doubt that our only hope of going upward will be through the ability of our people to organize themselves. This idea was so plainly demon strated that a new vision was caught by his hearers, and I feel that we are a better people now than what we were before he came. Seven new members were added on that night and many more will come as soon as conditions will permit. We are planning to send a good delegation^ to the Grand Lodge. Yours truly, MARY ROBINSON, F. S. Blaine, Miss. Dear Editor: w I am a member of the Afro-American Sons & Daughters, the first one to join at this place. But since then, and it was only a few weeks ago, we now have a Lodge No. 175 with more than 40 members strong, so you see that we are in line for the 100 mark, and by the help of God, we will reach it before December 25. We think the Sons & Daughters is a grand organization. We love it dearly. Though we are very young ,we are going to send two or three delegates to the Grand Lodge on August 18, 1926. Yours truly, I. N. G. Isola, Miss. Dear Editor: Just a few words about Lodge 109. We are only a few in numbers, but greatly determined to work until we have a good local lodge of not less than 40 or 50 members. All of our little band are proud of the A. A. S. & D. and the way it has treated us. You will hear from Lodge 109 in the near future. We wish to request that every lodge tha can possibly do so, send your assessment for the month of August before the 18th so that it can go into our annual report. I wish further to ask that all matter for the paper will be addressed to Albert Banks, editor. By so doing you wHl save the office a good bit of time and labor. Let all delegates come prepared .to take care of your expenses cash by the day, We are making provisions for you. Yours truly, ROSIE A. MURRRY. SPECIAL NOTICE Yours truly, ALBERT BANKS, President. §
