WINSTON MAKES ADDRESS
Masons, numbers of the order of
he Eastern Star, and a number of
I eir friends attended the annual
t banquet of Johnston-Caswell Lodge
-V'Vo A- a notel
Wanvn on Monday evening to enjoy
the fellowship of the hour and hear
addresses by Grand Matron ol the
Eastern Star. Mrs. C. W. Fowler,
Supt. E- L- Brown of the Oxford
Orphanage and Past Grand Master of
Masons Francis D. Winston. Be
tween 6375 and $400 was contribut
ed by Masons as the annual Thanks
giving offering.
Past Master J. Edward Allen, as
master ot ceremonies, introduced in
brief words, the speakers of the even
nig. Mr. W. S. Terrell offered the
invocation, and the quests were wel
comed oil behalf of the lodge by W.
Brodie Jones.
Mrs. C W. fowler, after express
ing her pleasure at being present,
told of the tine cooperation existing
between the Masons ami the order of
the Eastern Star. She was happy to
again be in Warrenton, recalling
briefly her visit here in attendance
upon the Sate meeting of the body
held several years ago. She took her
seat amid applause given her re
marks and particularly the" statement
that she was the wife, the mother,
and the daughter of a Mason.
Supt. R. L. Brown of the Oxford
Orphanage brought a human inter
est story of the work at the orphan
age and reviewed recent incidents
which showed that the bovs sent from
the institution had been imbued with
the spirit of service. "We have been
particularly pleased," said Mr. Brown,
"with the number of boys who -have
entered the ministry." He was also
pleased at the working of the plan
to send boys and girls through college
after the had finished the prelimi
nary training at the institution. Thi
was meeting with fine results, he held.
Following- Mr. Brown, Past Master
Francis D. Winston of Windsor held
the audience of more than ninety in
close attention as he talked upon the
principles of masonry.
The speaker had no patience with
the "perpetual jiner" of all organiza
tions. "They are not worth anything
to any of them," he averred. The
universality of the brotherhood had
impressed him years ago when he had
attended an international meeting of
Mason in Washington, he told, and
fee had come the realization that
masonry was a spirit.
Rolling back the years, he gave im
presively an allegorical story of the
birth of the order in which men of dif
ferent faith, in common trouble, knelt
10 be touched in brotherhood by the
divine spirit.
Story after story, illustrative of dif
ferent sections of the address, enliv
ened remarks which .of themselves

Tuberculosis Seal
Campaign Launched
In Warren Today
Warren County's Tuberculosis Seal
Campaign is being conducted by Mrs
C. R. Rodwell of Warrenton, who was
appointed by Dr. L. B. McBrayer. Two
thousand seals and twelve $5 bonds
have been mailed here for sale. The
seals are worth a penny each.
Mrs. Rodwell said yesterday that a
canvass of Warrenton would be made
by Misses Mildred Allen, Willie Hall
Johnson Lucy Crosby, Sarah Howard!
Ward, Bobbie" Jones, Katherine Ar
lington, Pettway Williams, Lucy
Marshall Johnson, Mary Frances Rod
well, Lucy Boyd, Katherine Taylor,
Sue White Massenburg, Katherine
Scoggin, and Rowena Wood.
The campaign in the county will be
handled through the schools,"1 Mrs.
Rodwell told.
A bulletin from State headquarters
tells:
But along with- this investment in
the machinery of community improve
ment you have invested in properites
less tangible but quite as valuable.
You -have made yourself a sharci in
the human faith, love and courage
that have secured for the tuberculosis
movement whatever success it has
known.
Very properly, sentiment has little
place in tuberculosis work or in any
other social health work. And yet
the purchaser of Seals has the right
to see flie human value in his pur
chase. The Seal is more than a gay stick
er, bought of a pretty girl. It is
more, even, than a rational means
of protection for the purchaser and
those he loves. It is a witness to
love that seeks out sthe miserable
everywhere to heal them; to faith that
can dream of a better day; to will
that is staunch enough to move to
bring that day.
It -is these qualities that the buyer
of Seals makes his ultimate invest
ment. Mr. Ben. E. Cook Weds
Miss Adams at Capital
Mr. Benjamin Edwards Cook, son
of the late Judge Charles Alston Cook
and Mrs. Cook, formerly of Warren
