Charley Adams held a preliminary organization for a lodge of Ben Hur, Monday night. The meeting was held in the town hall. Twenty-nine were present to take the obligation and secret work. They will meet again in two weeks and expect to have the Flora staff of that order to come over and exemplify the work. Mrs. J. S. Anderson was chosen Chief and A. R. Basden, scribe. The writer and Rev. C. J. Presley could not let a good thing come into town without “jinin” so were there. Bro. Adams is a good solicitor and has succeeded where there seemed to be small hopes for an organization.
