H. REGNELL, Chairman. First Annual Meeting of the 17th Disvrict. HOISINGTON, Sept. 26th, 1864.

Bro. Riddle: About six weeks ago Great Bend Lodge, No. 127, visited Hoisington Lodge, No. in a body. There was work on hand and a general good time was had, cigars and speaking being features of the occasion.

At that meeting the question of an anniversary meeting for the 17th district was mooted, and it was the unanimous opinion that we ought to have one. A committee consisting of members from each lodge was appointed to make arrangements. Bro. A. C.

Dow, of La Crosse, our supervisor, was notified, and he took hold of the matter with the true Workman spirit. The result was a large and enthusiastic meeting at La Fayette Park, Great Bend, on Friday, the 21st inst. Bro. E. E.

Murphy was the principal speaker. Ole was met at the Santa Fe train by a large WORKMAN cession headed by the Great Bend band. He was placed in a carriage (much against his will, for he said he preferred to walk) and the march was taken up and the procession moved to the Missiouri Pacific railway where the train from Hois. ington soon arrived bearing members of Hoising. ton and La Crosse Lodges with their families and friends.

Arriving at the A. O. U. W. hall We broke ranks and about an hour was spent in hand shaking and social conversation after which we proceded to the park where a delicious banquet was spread.

Everybody was invited whether they were members of the Order or not, and the person is yet to be found who could say that the inner man was not amply satisfied. About 1:30 p. m. the exercises were opened with an eloquent prayer by Rev. Hall, of Great Bend.

After music by the band an address of welcome was delivered by Bro. E. W. Moses, mayor, who was followed by Bro. Woodburn, who spoke in behalf of Great Bend and Hoisington Lodges.

After music Bro. E. E. Murphy was introduced and spoke for about an hour and a half. His address was frequently interrupted by applause and the audience was deeply interested from first to last.

It was an eloquent talk for the Order and gained for it many new friends. At about 3 o'clock it was announced that the meeting would adjourn to meet again at 7:30 at A. O. U. W.

hall. Most everybody went out to witness the ball game between Great Bend and Ellsworth. It was a good game and added largely to the pleasures of the day. The evening meeting was a very pleasant affair, as all gatherings of the A. O.

U. W. are apt to be. Bro. Murphy made another short and witty address.

Bro. Dow, our supervisor, also treated the audience to a sensible talk. At this point the writer was obliged to leave in order to catch the train, but he understands that other speeches were made, and when the meeting annual broke up the universal verdict was that the first meeting of the 17th district was a grand success.
