BADIN BULLETIN Page Thirteen LODGE NOTES Knights of Pythias Tallassee Lodge, No. 233, Badin, N. C., meets every Tuesday night, 8 p. m., in the Lodge Room over the Badin Theater. ’ Tallassee Lodge, No. 233, was organ ized in 1917. It is known as a young man’s lodge, and has received into its membership many of the best men of our city. It has been marked by a steady growth and agressive life. The Order of Knights of Pythias, as a fraternal institution, stands un challenged in its record and achieve ments during the past fifty years. True, in point of years, it is the youngest of the leading fraternities, and yet it today “leads all the rest” in its government, jurisprudence, popularity within its membership, and the application of pro gressive and advanced thought in seek ing to serve mankind. Its ritualism is par excellence, and the lessons therein taught more potently apply to life’s affairs and relations than can be found among the wide range of initiatory instruction and ritualistic impressive ness. In every relation, and from every viewpoint, Pythian Knighthood is practi cal, elevating, and consistently progres sive. It holds the world’s record in fraternal development, and is the best governed of any institution of its char acter known to mankind. Recognizing the universality of human brotherhood, its organization is designed to embrace the world within its jui’isdic- tion; intended solely and only to dissem- minate the great principles of Friend ship, Charity, and Benevolence. To all those who have a desii'e to per form their part in extending these principles, we extend a cordial invitation to unite with us. We can promise that nothing is required of you that will con flict with any duty you owe to yourself, family, friends, country, or God. Our lodge is indebted to the lodge at Statesville, which on September 3 visited us with their team, eighteen strong, and put ten candidates thru the third degree in long form. Many of our members who had not heretofore wit nessed this beautiful ceremony were thus given a great deal of pleasure, and were very much benefited. At the regular meeting of the Knights of Pythias Lodge, held Tuesday, Septem ber 17, Vice-Chancellor Bro. E. F. Smith was elected Chancellor Com mander, and Bro. T. W. Belk was elected Vice-Chancellor, to fill the office made y£(pant by the elevation of Brother Smith. Our Service flag now holds fourteen stars, which remind us of those of our number who are offering their life blood on the altar of human freedom. As the days go by, they are remembered with tender thoughts. Each star, added to this number adds another world of interest to us, and brings nearer the day when this war with all its horrors shall end. Ed F. Smith, Chancellor Commander D. O. K. K. News On September 17, Badin D. 0. K. K. Club was organized, with over fifty members, and officers were elected. Bro. Thos. C. Sheppard was elected president, and Bro. E. W. Dunham, secre tary and treasurer. It is expected that this Club will promote the general wel fare,. and add much to our social and fraternal life; also that thru its prompting all who attain the rank of Knighthood in our K. of P. Lodge like wise will advance themselves into this noble Order. The D. 0. K. K. are to have a cere monial on October 18, at Winston-Salem. This lodge expects to send a choice sup ply of “Fresh Meat,” to help appease the hunger of the royal Bengal on that occasion. Thomas C. Sheppard President D. 0. K. K. Club Loyal Order of Moose Badin Lodge, No. 1315 The Loyal Order of Moose is a very recent organization in Badin, with more than one hundred members. The regular meetings are held in the Lodge Room over the Theater, on Wednesday evenings, and every evening the club rooms are open to the members, at No. 63 Falls Road. Music, games, news papers, and magazines are furnished the members; and in fact ’most everything it takes to make a fellow feel at home is to be found there. The public is invited to make an inspection of the home, in order that they may better appreciate the principles and plans of the Order. We expect to entertain the public in the near future with moving pictures of the orphanage, and hear some lectures by prominent men of the Order. M. G. Waller, Secretary Tacky Party About seventy-five people were pres ent at the Tacky Party, in the Theater Building, Friday evening, the twentieth. On account of the muddy roads, Proc- •tor’s Orchestra could not fulfill their engagement, so several local musicians in costume played very acceptably. The costumes were as varied as hu man taste. Many of them were comical in the extreme. Mrs. Thorpe, in a lace gown cut Prin cess, with about three yards of train, was awarded the ladies’ prize. Mr. Swindell, dressed in a girl’s mid dy suit, showing his trousers below its abbreviated length, and a doll’s hat on his head, won the man’s prize.

Devereaux, Chief of the Employment Bureau, is enjoying an extended visit with her mother and friends at New Kensington, Harrisburg, and Meadeville, Pa., and expects to be in our midst again about October 5. Miss Nora Thorpe, after joining her mother in a visit to friends in Baltimore, Md., has returned with her to their home in New York.
