1 UNVEILING
As previously announced in
the Record, (preparation had
been made forj^ra unveiling of
Sov. Ollie J. Itea’s monument,
Sunday afternoin, May 3. Wood-
men with theirlfamilies came in
great numbersilo participate in
it. The local lamp had made
preparations to Entertain all vis-
itors, and at the) appointed time
they gathered St the Woodman
hall, where a feWJ words of wel-
come were given] by Sov. Watts
and it was respenlded to by Sov.
Cureton, of Meridian. A long
procession was jformed at the
hall, and marched in double col-
umn f-o the ceu^jsgy, followed
by a long line ofi vehicles and
other marchers. A large crowd
had assembled at tlie monument
before the procession arrived.

led the e*
the marches
tive, indeed, by the recitation of
“The Ode to Mortality,” by Miss
Willie Prather. Although the
wind was very high and speak-
ing was a trying ordeal, Miss
Prather did her work so as to ex-
cite many complimentary re-
marks. Sov. Nowlin, of Valley
Mills, voiced t&e sentiment of ev-
ery Woodman, when he paid a
glowing tribute to her for the
exfcellence of the rendering, in a
well rendered speech at the hall,
where the Woodmen had assem-
bled to wait for the evening train.
Judge S. C. Pedelford, of Cle-
burne, delivered the oration, and
it was thoughtful and grand.
The sight of so many strong,
earnest, intelligent Woodmen
caused him to mention the enor-
mous reserve fund of Wood-
craft. The legal valuation. Hie
legal valuation of moat lives from
a commercial point of view, is
$5000, or upwards. The Wood-
men have 5,500,000 members,
multiplying these numbers we
have the astounding reserve fund
of $27,500,000,000. The large
crowd listened with rapt at-
tention through It all, and then
the camp marched to the Hall
once more, where social chat and
No. 4, 0f|8P^h “»1»ng*,wa* indulged in.
