He then took up Companion GarnettsMasonic correer reciting his advance ¬

ment in the Blue Lodge and the Chap ¬

ter eventually becoming the GrandMaster of all the Masons in the Stateof Kentucky He spoke of Bro Gar ¬

netts untiring energy and his fidelityto the cause of Masonry and his devo¬

tion to both the local Lodge and localChapter and he felt that as a token ofbrothorly love and the high esteem inwhich the Chapter held him as a manand as a Mason that a manifestationof such feelings should be brought outin a tangible way He then spoke ofan idea advanced and made known byCompanion R F Paul to several ofthe members a few weeks agoto pre-sent Companion Garnett with a hand ¬

some solid gold thirtytwo degreewatch harm Bro Garnett havingreached that distinction in Masonry

The suggestion met the hearty approval of every Companion presenteach member expressing his approvalin the most earnest and complimentary

termsCompanionGarnett was introduced

and conducted in front of the altarby Companions Myers and Lewis Hewas fronted by Companion HoraceJeffries who in a well worded andtouching speech presented the charm

Companion Garnett was taken whollyby surprise and for a few minutes hecould scarcely speak his heart over ¬

flowing with love for the token offriendship manifested by the Compan ¬

ions as he said who had so faithfullystood by him while building his Masoniccarree His speech throughout wastouching but when he said holding thethirtytwo degree charm in one handso 1OxtgL live I will wear it dividingtime with this one holding up a KnightsTemplar charm given tome by mysainted mother for the love she had forme the pride she took in my advancement and the high respect she had forthe Masonic Fraternity brought tearsto the eyes of a number of the Com-

panionsWhen the Chapter dispursed it was

the universal expression that the meetwould result in much good for Masonry
