Proved ol Great Interest.
Walhalla Lodge, No. 67, K. of P., had
tho pleasure of being visited last Monday
night by about twenty ni em ber? of
Seneca Lodge, No. 87, who carlie up for
the purpose of conferring the Hank of
Knight in amplified form. The Seneca
degree team is one of which that lodgo
may well bo proud. Tb? work was im
pressively exemplified and carried
through from start to finish without the
use of rituals. The Walhalla Knights
wero delighted with the visit from their
Seneca brethren aud will gladly welcome
them at any time into their midst.
Although late when the work of the
evening was completed, an impromptu
oourse of refreshments, consisting of ice
oream and cake, was served, aud cigars
passed. Amid the blue haze of smoke
from Havanas, the Knights of these two
sister lodges made merry uutil 12 o'clock.
K. T. .laynos, Ksq., was first called ou for
a talk, and spoke for about ten minutes.
He was followed by Prof. J. E. Ward, J.
H. Bryan, Dr. E. A. I (mrs, J. T. Law
rence, Y. C. Langston, Jas. Thompson,
Dr. W. R. Doyle, J. P. Keese, T. E. Strib
ling, Dr. J. H. Moore, J. R. Kay, each of
whom bad something sound or witty to
say, if only a few words to enable him to
show his courtesy by responding wheu
called upon. Altogether it was a most,
enjoyable evening and oue that will be
remembered pleasantly by the members
of Walhalla Lodge.
A Veteran (rom Texas.
Thomas A. Y. JayneB, of Hughes
Springs, Cass County, Texas, arrived in

went to Texas in 1S70, and in the fall of
1882 returned for a month's visit. This
is his first visit since that time. He has
met many of his comrades in arms and
friends of former years. His fiddle has
the same familiar ring as in the olden
time. H?B many friends are delighted
to see him looking so well.
Suicide Prevented.
The startling announcement that a
preventative of suicide had been discov
ered will interest many. A run-down
system, or despondency invariably pro
cede suicide and something has been
fouml that will pre.ent that conditiou
which makes suioide likely. At the lit st
thought of self-destruction take Electric
Ritters. It being a great tonic aud nor
vine will strengthen the nerves and build
up the system. It's also a great stomach,
