The old giving, that a most ?ff-etSv<> way hf reaching a man's heart whs through his stomnch. wan v?>iified and practi nily dcmonstrhtu' Wednesday night, when the home lodge 1117 Knights of Honor Served r.n oyst? rsupper attheGibbes H? use. The greatest abundance of raw. stewed and fried oysters was fur ished, and the best evidence thut ti e stewed and fried oysters were delicious, together with crackers, pickleg, sauces and coffee, was the quantity consumed. Immediately after supper, toasts were in order. Dr. M. W. Gulp was toast master. Ordinarily when a biped is changed into a bivalve, the transformation having been produced by the consumption of lite latter by the former, the object thus transformed assumes thnature of the intter consumed, in this case motionless, emotionless tongueless, therefore speechless. Not. so on this occasion for when the toast master called upon Mr. R L. Got dina, "Beaver" and K. of 11., he responded in a most fluent and interesting speech, relating to thtfhistory, growth and good which had been and was now being accomplished by the order of Knights of Honor. Dr. B. G. Cl.-ff.ird responded most feelingly and touchingly upon the sceiul features of tho order, its moral and religious influence upon the members in their association with each other under the obligations so soleint ly pledged. Tho frequent gathering together in social intercourse, inspired the members witli deeper feelings of brotherly lovo and confidence in each other's siuceret.y of purpose to live up to the obligations taken. Junge J m ureer said 11 few very appropriate words for the good of the order, encouraging ihe frequent assembling tcgether for mutual benefit. We very much regret the inability of the members who reside out of town to attend, as we regard it very unfortunate that these worthy members so seldom visit the lodge and mingle with the body. A motion was made and unanimously carried, that this lodge invite the Supreme Dictator, Governor John C. Sheppard to deliver a public address sometime during this month or early in December. It is the wish of this lodge that every member in this and adjoining counties be present on this occusion, also as many others as will honr r tnertl With their presence. A notice of the day and hoar wi'l be given in the Times, in order that all may avail themselves of such a rare opportunity to hear so distinguished a speaker, upon a subject of such vital importance. Conviction of Mayor McCue. The sensational triul of McCue, the ex-mayor of Charlottesville. Va., for killing his wife, ended in a verdict, of murder in the first degree The rosult was no surprise to those who hmve followed the trial closely In ti e daily papers. It is said that the jury, on entering the jury room was led in prayer by ono of the jurors This is probably without precedent, but why should not those who hold the destiny of a fellow-being in their hands seek guidance of Him whose i all-searching eye discerns the motives of the hearts of men as well as sees the deeds of their ha?d??
