COUMTY VOLUME IX. COOKEVILLE, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12,1911. NUMBER 2. PUTMA Mt. View Lodge, No. 179, 1. O. O. F. ; held a splendid meeting January 7th, I. W. McCluen, N. G., presiding, with some 25 or 30 brothers in attendance. A great deal of routine business was disposed of. The sick brothers, R. F. Pippin, E. D. Staley, C. J. Davis and W. R. Poston were all reported as se riously bad off. The Secretary reported 172 members. There was none suspended for non pay ment of dues, which is remarkable, con sidering so many of the brothers are so far away from the Lodge. Mt. View Lodge is in line with a great many 'lodges in this jurisdiction, thinking the grand lodge is growing entirely too ex travagant in the I. 0. O. F. home management, as in all lines of business spendthrifts are not successful mana gers. When tancy appearances cost too much money they should be left off in a great measure, especially so, when so many little lodges are burdened with their own expenses in caring for its unfortunates. The installation of officers for the present term was affected by Bro. B C. Jones, D. D. G.' M. J. M. Haynes, Noble Grand. Leon D. Bockman, Vice Grand. L. R. McClain, Secretary. W. L. Stewart, Treasurer. Oscar Bussell was appointed Warden. All othfr appointive officers were ap pointed and inducted into their several stations. Bro. I. W. McCluen sitting Past Grand, for the present term, was duly seated. Now with a good strong pnll by both officers and brothers the present term will be a prosperous one. All brothers should take an interest in and useexer tion for the upbuilding &c. Just after adjournment' tha brothers engaged actively and earnestly in partaking of a sumptuous banquet prepared and broughtt in evidence by Bro. A. L Brogon, and all went away feeling that it was good to be there. All who can should attend our next meeting on the 14th. sue, with a big, fresh sponge dripping with the water of forgiveness wipe clean the slate of our hearts, enter the new year with a kind thought for every one, leaving to the old all unkindness, ingratitude and embittering memories. As our poet member says: If we could take our jewels, the past years, And wash them clean with penitential tears. And string them flawless on life's golden chain. We'd face the future years with joy again. But since these jewels are forever gone. We can, alas, but with regrets atone, And with renewed resolves, softened bv tears. Carve purer jewels from the coming years. A spontaneous burst of applause was the resprnse to this address delivered in her own inimitable manner, and to further emphasize our approval of Mrs. Guthrie as presiding officer during the past year, at the suggestion of Mrs. A. ' Algood, the ' Club came to its feet in a unanimous vote of appreciation. Business having been disposed of we turned to pleasure, pleasure not un mixed with sadness, for the Whitney family are leaving Cookeville for the South. So Mrs. Whitney was called forward, and, in a few well-chosen words, Mrs. Wilson, in the name of tha Club, presented her with a souvenir sugar shell, a small token of the high esteem in which Mrs. Whitney is held by every member. A coreial inuitation was given the Club to meet with Mrs. Whitney a year hence in her Florida home. After refreshments the Club adjourn ed to meet with Mrs, Ford Jan. 11. At the usual hour on Wednesday af ternoon, Jan. 11, at" the home of Mrs. T. D. Ford the Club was called to order by Mrs. Bazter, the new president. A goodly; number responded to the ro call, and the business of hearing the secretary's report and the minutes, and adoption of same, paying of dues, etc having been attended to, the meeting was turned over to the leader, Miss Copeland. Chapters five and six of Scudder's "Social Ideals in English Letters" were discussed with interest During the social hour Mrs. Ford, as sisted py her two lovely daughters served refreshments, and the time for adjournment came all too soon. The Club is invited to meet with Mrs. Phil ip Smith next week. Reporter. I jjj o I li - wfisj ?
