MASONS' BANQUET
BY EASTERN STAR
Banquet for the Benefit of New Ma
sonic Building.
The 0. E. S. of Union City gave
, a banquet arid public entertainment
last Thursday night in the new Ma
sonic building in Union City.
This was a very notable as veil, as
a very delightful occasion. Nearly
two hundred altogether were Eeated
at the tables, superintended by the
ladies of the order vith one of the
best prepared suppers ever served at
a time like this.
Miss Nelle Marshall, Worthy Ma
tron of the order, was in charge of
the ceremonies, with Mr. J. Walker
Kerr as toastmaster, and followed
one of the finest events, characterized
by the "Feast of reason 'and the flow
of the soul. "
Mr. Kerr very happily conducted
all of the, various features of the pro
' gram to the pleasure" of this large
concourse of people, many of whom
were present from neighboring cities.
Dr. C. W. Miles, Sr., was introduced
as one of the oldest members of the
: Masonic order present, and the Doc
tor responded in a very interesting
' manner concerning the nature and
character of Masonry and the vork
of the good women in the 0. E. S.
Our republic, says Dr. Miles, is drift
ing toward the precipice. The insti
tutions of American liberty are be
ing undermined with political
treachery and treason. Therefore it
remains with other moral influences
for the great principles of free ma
sonry to save the nation. Many minds
are now turned to Masonry, the great
humanizing spirit for guidance and
protection. Dr. Miles complimented
the ladies of the 0 E. S. and quoted
. among other things the lines from
.- Pope:
"The world was sad, the garden was
a wild, i
And man the hermit sighed till
' woman smiled."
Judge Elkins, of Dresden, was in
troduced as the next speaker. The
Judge was gratified to be present on
this happy occasion with so many
' good people linked in the bonds of
fellowship. The motive for Masonry
is a pure one. The example or its
work has justified its existence. The
' greatest institution among men is
the church, and the next in it& in
fluence upon mankind is free mason
ry, which is founded upon the Holy
Scriptures. The Judge referred to the
work among the widows and orphans.
Judge Elkins spoke of the origin and
work of the Eastern Star, the influ
ence of the good women, the home,
motherhood, manhood all inspired
in the teachings of masonry.
Miss Nola Allmond Was a reader
in an interesting selection.
, Dr. Adkerson and Miss Roberta
Marshall were heard In a charming
duet, and were compelled to respond
to an encore.
Miss Nelle Marshall, the Worthy
Matron of the 0. E. S., made a few
remarks of appreciation of the pres
ence and good will of the large
crowd: It was indeed encouraging
to.-the ladies in the fine work they
are doing to help the Masons of Un
ion City in the building of a new
home. Here Miss Marshall introduced
Mrs. Geneva Dodd, who reviewed the
O. E. S. and made one of the most in
teresting speeches of the -occcasion.
Next a solo by Miss LaNelle Mar
shall, who is one of the favorite lo
cal vocalists, in a selection of rare
beauty, following with a popular
number.
Mr. J. Walker Kerr here took oc
casion to say something of the new
building in Union City, now under
construction, the home of the Masons
and the O. E. S., saying that the
lodge was chartered thirty-two years
ago and is now able to claim 150
members. The building program is
the work of progressive Masonry and
every effort would be made to com
plete the plans at an early date.
Dr.'F. M. McRee was one of the
speakers on this auspicious occasion.
' Dr. McRee has been a Mason for 55
years in Obion County, probably the
oldest member of the order in the
county. He took occasion to express
his profound gratification in being
one of the favored ones on this oc
casion. Mrs. Dean Keiser was a singer of
the occasion, always in charming
voice and favored the audience with
eome good selections. -
Mr. T. J. Bonner, Of Rives, sent his
regrets, and it was a misfortune that
the fine Mason and speaker coculd
not be present. ' ' ;
Miss Nelle Marshall took occasion
Lhere to introduce the Worthy Ma
tron of the Fulton O. E. S., Mrs. Hey
wood, who responded with sparkling
wit and intellectual grace on the
ethics of the work. She was glad to
see Union City building a Masonic
Temple and said that Fulton should
follow the example.
Minister Baker, who is always an
orator, proposed that there be a vol
untary '. offering to complete the
building. The speaker said that this
is a golden age with a great desire
to serve and the greatest of all are
the men and women worth while in
the work of the, world. The greatest
gift to man is the religion of God,
and the greatest human , agency is
free masonry.
Mr. O'Sullivan of the Al.Chymia
Temple, Shriners,was called and re
sponded with reference to the great
work of the Temple.
Following came the selling of cake
by Mr. Rose and the close of the fine
meeting.

REVIVAL DRAWS CROWDS
TO REYNOLDS THEATRE
Dr.
to
Shluter Hughes Preaching to
Large Audiences.
The services, conducted by Dr
Hughes, of Memphis, which began
last Sunday afternoon at Reynolds
Theatre, continue with unabated in
terest.
Dr. Hughes is assisted by the song
leader, Mr. Walker, who has organ
ized a large chorus of voices, old and
young, and they are all joining with
fine enthusiasm.
Dr. Hughes has always enjoyed the
esteem of hosts of the people of his
native home, and his welcome here
is all that could be desired. Since
leaving Union City many years ago
Dr. Hughes has become a disciple of
the Lord and has been engaged . in
the work of evangelism, traveling
and speaking in a number of cities
He has met with great success and
is encouraged with the efforts
further endeavor.
On Tuesday night Dr. Hughes took
his text from Hebrews on the sub
ject of Temptation. Adam and Eve
were tempted in the garden of Eden
They were left to choose between
good and evil and Satan tempted Eve
and sin entered into the world. The
devil took Christ upon a high moun
tain and offered him the dominion of
the world, but Christ said: "Get be
hind me, Satan."
And so Satan comes to all of us
offering worldly pleasure in ex
change for our souls. Dr. Hughes
proceeded with many of his expert
ences, some of these taking him to
the old Bowery districts in New York
City and winding up he related a sto
ry of the famous Henry Grady, whose
life was one of temptation, until God
revealed the light thru a mother's
love. And every one knows the fame
of this great man.
The services are scheduled for the
week appearing under announcement
in another column.

Genuine
Common Sense
Many Ford owners can afford to own and oper
ate any car they ma-y choose, but they prefer a
Ford "because it is a Ford."
For "because it is a Ford" means dependability,
ease of operation, efficiency and it means sure,
quick transportation.
And "because it is a Ford" means good taste,
pride of ownership and genuine Common Sense.
The Ford Sedan, a closed car of distinction, beauty
and convenience, is the ideal all year 'round car,
for pleasure or business for the farm, town or
city. It gives you all that any car can give at a
much lower cost for operation and maintenance.
Ford Cars of all types are in great demand, so
place your order at once if you wish to avoid
delay in delivery.
