(noting legislation for the good and
welfare of the order In general, the
conclave Is not entirely a matter of
exclusive lodge routine. There will
be several features of. a public
character. Among them are the con
ferring of the decoration of chival
ry at the Patriarch Militant or
Canton branch Monday evening at
the armory. The gcueral public Is
Invited to witness this csremonlal.
Following this .will be a dance, free

tended. No. charge will bp made,
A third feature ?f Tubllo Interest,
and one which will perhaps prove
the greatest attraction, . Is i the
grand street parade - Wednesday
evening. In this column will be
every Odd Fellow and , Bcbokah
In attendance at the scsston'and
every member from adjacent towns
who can be present.
There will be several bands in
this march and a number of floats
for the best of which prizes are to
be awarded. These floats are not
confined to Odd Fellows organiza
tions. An invitation has been ex
tended to other orders and busi
ness firms to participate, and a
number have signified their desire
to do so.
The parade will form at the pub
lic library, march down Main street
to Bartlett, thence down Bartlett
to-the armory, after which the
members will proceed to their var
ious halls for the work outlined for
the evening.
The Boy Scouts will enter this
k ?araade with their drum corps and
as large a membership as they can
muster.

As Jacksonville declined with the

a few of the faithful ones still car
