Ten marshals on horseback and the Third Uo;j iment Band formed in proces ibn and escorted the party to the L ti 'km 11 rg Hotel where a . shorts rest was had. Promptly at 11 o'clock the proces siun formed at the court house. First came the mounted marshals, then the band, followed by the guests of honor and aged and infirm Master Masons in carnages. Then the Mas Ur Masons of Franklin county in line hy lodges, the oldest taking the lad and so on down, Lomsburg lodge bringing up the rear. The procession was quite an imposing one as it marched up to the graded school auditorium, where the exer cises of the day took place. Arriv ing at the graded school the ranks were opened and Louisburg Lodge passed up the line entering the hall first, followed by the others with mi'itary precision, tne nail Demgj seated without the slightest con fusion. The lodge was then opened in due form. After a short secret session the public were admitted to hear the addresses. Hon. T. VV. Bickett explained the object of the gathering, which was sim ply a desire on the part of Louis burg Lodge to gather together the Masons of Franklin county to strengthen fraternal ties to become better acquainted and upon the whole to inaugurate a new era of goodwill and genuine c;ood fellow ship among these, the very best of Frankln's citizenship. Rev. Geo. M. Duke, one of Franklin's most be loved ministers and ' excellent Ma sons, made a fine speech on the princi ples of Masonry. He was followed by Mr. Andrew J. Harris, of Hen derson, in an excellent address of 15 minutes. After this the,band play ed America, the entire audience 6tanding during the rendition of the national anthem. Mr. W. H. Yarborough, Jr., in troduced the orator of the day, (yen. B S. Royster, of Oxford, in a short address that was referred to by Gen. .Hoyster as the "best speech ' he " had heard in six months." General -Joy- ster was last in order of speakers, but he was by no means last as ' to merit of speeches, rlis address-was a .very fine one and interspersed with: -fine; humorous sallies that held the entire attention of hi audience;" OEie made many new friends ,iwhoX?.0nId rejoiced to see . and-; hear him again. After Gen. RoysterjJOnciud- edrthe guests, numbering probably 350 people, were invited to line ; up at the immense table that had been erected- The serving table was in the center of the rectangle and the band was placed in the enclosure, rendering sweet music during dinner. I Louisburg Masons acted as -waiters and while the ladies of the Order of the. Eastern Star, assisted by the wives, mothers, and sweethearts of the locai lodge, prepared the plates of food, they were quickly handed to the big line of feastevs. Every body had his fill and there was a quantity left over. The newlv elect- ed officers of Louisburg and Sandyf Creek lodges were installed as fol lows: the first named of Louisburg and the second Sandy Creek: E. C. Barrow and O. Ei Gupton Worship ful Masters, Dr. H. A Newell and E X. Wii'iams, Senior Wardens, Ivey Allen and S. T. Gupton Jun ior Wardens. S. P. Hoddie and Ballard Egerton, Secretaries, B. G. Hicks and O. P. Gupton Treasurers, M. S. Davis and J. H. Eaves Sen ior Deacons, D. E. Miller and J. IL Wester Junior Deacons, J. S. Lan caster, W. E. White, and Wade Harris Jr., and Geo. Eaves, as Stew ards, A. S. Strother and Willie Bur nett Tilers. After the installation ceremonies which were conducted by- Mr. Andrew J. Harris and to which the public were admitted, Kev. Geo. M. Duke and others in short talks gave expression to the pleasure which the exercises had gwen them and expressed their thanks at the splendid wayvrin ; which Louisburt- Lodge hacUtreated them as its guests. Louisburg Lodge believes the expres sions to be sincere and from the heart and this fact repays them for all the time and trouble involved in pre paring "for thi& -great "celebration. It is safe to say tnat nobody enjoyed the day more than the Louisbnrg Masons. To them it was great joy to see their guests enjoy and appreciate their efforts to make it worth while to be in Louisburg that day. It was a great sight to see the big rectan gular table lined on every side with hungry masons, and members of the local lodger ushing to andfro to supply them with the toothsome barbacue. It was demonstrated "in a most im pressive way that masonry regards no man for his worldly wealth or honors. The rich and the poor, the high and the low, fraternized on a common footing, and there was gen uine good fellowship and fraternal good feeling on the.part of all the visitors. It was a great day, one to make each and all proud to be a mason. The personnel of th crowd was fine. A glance showed that the very best people in Franklin were masons, although it must be said that there are many just as good who are not masons but upon whom the mortar has not yet been spread. The admirable system which pre vailed and the fine work of the dif ferent committees made the day . a perfect success. No men ever worked harder to bring any event to a sue cessful eon elusion than the faithful enthusiastic masons composing these committees. They are as follows; Chief Committee on General Ar rangements, J. L Barrow, Chairman S. P. Boddie, J. S. Lancaster, and E. C. Barrow. ? Sub Committees.

In compliance with requests from several sources we cive below the law regarding sheep-killing dogs: Section 3304 d the Reviaal of 1905, says: If any person owninc or having any dog that kills sheep or other domestic animals, upon sa tisfac- tory evidence of the same being made before a justice-of he peace of the county, and the owner duly no- tinea tnereotK snail refuse to kill it, ana snail permit aucn dog to go at liberty, he shall be guilty of a mia- demeanor, and fined not more than fifty dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days, and the dog maybe killed by any one if found iroine at large. And section 3,005 says: If the owner of any dog shall know or have good reason to believe that hia dog, or any dog belonging to any person under his control, has been bitten by a mad dog, and shall neglect or re- fuse immediately to kill the same he shall forfeit and pay the sum of ntty aoiiars 10 mm wno wm iue mereior; ana me onenaer saaii oe name to pay au a am ages wnicn may be sustainea by any one. in bis prop erly or person, by the bite of any such dog, and shall be guilty of a miadeameanor, and fined not -more than fifty dollars or imprisonednot 1 more than thirty daya. Both of these are important and very just laws, and should be rigidly enforced, both f r the protection of persons and property. . Marriages.
