with full ritualistic ceremony monu-
ments to the memory of Sovereigns
Wm. Sain and Geo. A. Rogers, de-
ceased. Past Sovereign Command-
er J. J. Stephens, in the absence of
Sovereign Commander Wm. Allen,
reading the pretty ceremony.
The certoony was perfo med at
the grave of Sovereign Wm. Sain
first and the assembly then repaired
to the grave of Sovereign Geo. A.
Rogers and the ceremony was re-
peated, and the monument unveil-
ed, and Sovereign R. M. Briggs
was introduced and deliversd a
Woodmen address, which was a
gem, well delivered, and heartily
enjoyed by his audience assembled
there. He told of the purposes and
accomplishments of the order, and
spoke of monuments of the world,
the great piles of marble and stone
erected to the memory of the world’s
heroes its great generals, and con-
trasted their work with that of those
of the rank and file, taking the
position that the/ too should be re-
membered, and that was what the
W. O. W. were doing.
His contrast of the actual accomp
lishment of some of the ereat gen-
erals to whom great monuments
have been erected, and his arrange-
ment of them, notab’y Napoleon,
and Wellington, and the neglect of
the common soldier that made pos-
sible their achievements, gave em-
phasis to the custom of the Wood-
men to ereet monuments to all, in-
stead of just the leaders.
It was a well, prepared oration,
suitable for the occasion and to the
teachings of the order, and was ad-
mirably rendered.
Judge R. W. Simpson, of Tyler,
a life time friend of Sovereign Geo
A. Rogers delivered at the grave of
his friend a eulogy that was full of
one no doubt feeling that it had
been started under auspicious
circumstances, and let us indulge
the hope that its closing will be
as bright, and bring the teach-
ers, pupils, trustees and patrons,
to the full fruition of their hopes
for its success.
Following is the faculty of the
W>d school. Dempsy • Boyd,
principal; Miss Lillie Harrison,
Miss Sarah Whitfield, Mrs. W. N.
Cole, Miss Mildred Stapp, Miss
Ida Maud Roberts, Mrs. Hardy
Petty, Miss Pearl Daniels and
the new kindergarten teacher,
Miss Ruth Sanderson.
