Wjoining Tribe Xo. 193, I. 0. K. X. The a boy e is the style of the name ot the new lodge instituted iu this city last Tuesday. For sometime past a few gentlemen of this city have interested themselves in organizing a tribe of Red Men in ibis city and the work was finally accomplished. The petition with a large nttmher ot names was sent in to the Great Sachem who granted a charter and. appointed S. W. Chappell, of Algiers; special deputy Great Sachem, to institute the lodge and to be assisted in the work l»v Wahoo tribe of Algiers. There were members present from Ogeechee tribe Washington, Apachee tribe Oakland, Citif and Wyandotte tribe Ireland, who assisted in the degree work the different ranks through whlch ahe palefaces were conducted. The preliminary * work commenced at two o’clock Tuesday afternoon at the G. A. R. hall by electing officers to serve for the first term of si^ months. The following gentle

men were elected: Prophet— Perry Chappell. Sachem—Byron Bronton. Senior Sagamore—Fred Smith. Junior Sagamore—William Liibs. Chief of Record*—J. B. Young. Collector of Wsunpum—T. W. Basinger. Keeper of Wampum—S. H. Stuckey. At four o’clock the palefaces were invited to retire frowr the wigwam. When‘the various tribes present went into, council aud the work of making warriors, hunters and chiefs was commenced. It was long after three o’clock the next morning when the work of coinfcrring the degrees was completed, when S- W. Chappell installed the officers of the tribe, the Sachem haying appointed his various assistants. All was over at five o’clock when Wyoming tribe was fully installed and reeieved all of the mysteries of the order. Ai one o’cloekjhe visiting members and the candidates retired to tbe Pike hotel where an elegant lnpcheon had been spread to serve aud supply the inner man of the hungry brave who had been on the war path for scalps for several hours, and we are fully prepared to,say that fcach and every one did ample justice to the occasion. The day and night was a great occasion and was folly enjoyed by all taking the work aud those giviug it. Besides those initiated there’ are a large uumber who were not present Tuesday night to be initialed and iu a few weeks tbe new tribe will have a membership of thirty-five. The new members j*re:

Ferry A. £happell. , The trihe will meet on Friday night of each week and for the preseut will meet iti the G- A, R. hall until further arrangements can be made to secure a wigwam. The new order starts out under very auspicious circumstances and promises to be of great benefit to ils members and society. May it live long and prosper. S. P. Hammond and John T£Jiitman have opeued up a music store in j connection with their other business. They are well known business men of Petersburg and will give their attention to this line of trade. They will ! carry in stock the best makes of pianos and organs in all styles and finishes. It will pay you to call on them and learn prices before purchasing from foreign agents. They can be relied upon in alii transactions. In another column of today's paper will be found their announcement. They will also carry in stock the latest selections of vocal and instrumental mnsic. Two marriage licenses'were issued this week but as the parties instructed the cierk to notify us not to publish the same this week and we acquiesced iu the matter. John T. Goodman was re-elected prosecuting attorney of Knox count} at the special election last Tuesday. This settles the tie vote in that county. Uncle George Siple is improving slowly and is now able to be about his home. His jmany trleuds will be glad to learn of tft|s.

The capital stock is one hundred thousand dollars, divided into shares of one hundred dbllirs cadb. The directors are H. K. Snyder, G. J. 'SHchols, George T. Prank, R. C. Hammond, A. C.

T:.e directors are well known business men whose qualifications and iuteg ity are ^beyond question, and with John Hammond as secretary anti

Byron Bren ton as treasurer ever? cent belonging to the association will be promptly antf faithfully accounted tor. A striugent but practical set or by laws has been adopted that will prevent many of the evils heretofore existing in associations ot like kind. For instance no one can vote by proxy but every stockholder in person must cast his ballot or not vote at all. The secretary and treasurer are required to report under oaths at the end of each quarter, and these reports to be submitted to au auditing committee who shall examine them and all the books aud papers and records and report under oath thereon. Any person failing to make such report within a limited time * is liable to a heavy fine. Three distinct records of all payments will be made, one to be kept by the secretary, one by the president, and one by the stockholders, in? the form of pass books. All the payments are to be endorsed on the pass books, and when a stock hold er withdraws or pays out, his pass book is to be surrendered to the president who shall retain the same till the association is dissolved aud then return them to their owners.- The president is the custodian of all bonds reports and surrendered pass books. Anyone can obtain a copy of the bylaws from John Hammond the seere tary. Regular meetings of the directors will be held on the second and fourth Friday nights of each month at the office of the secretary, and a meeting at the same place every Friday night for the purpose of paying dues and making loans, which arc to be made by selling money to the highest bidder. The secretary will begin Issuing stock op^he 8th of Februar? and the stockholders will begin paying dues on the 22d of February. The anniversary of Washington’s birthday is a good time to begin paying dues. Up to this time 722 shares haye been subscribed for, leaving only 278 more to be taken. ,

---------ft Telephone Exchange. . The Democrat's article last week on the telephone exchange was quite a surprise jo a great many Petersburg people, who thought that such a thing * as impossible,' but we believe the promoters of the enterprise mean business and will put in the exchange at an early day. Some years ago it look a small fortune to put iu an exchange, but today oue can bejunTiu at a very small cost. The- rental of the phones will not exceed $15 or $20 per year, and any merchaut or business man can afford to put them iu b»» place of business and residence, They are of great convenience and would obviate the long trips to and from various parts of the city. Quite a number have signified their intention of putting in phones if the exchange is established, aud there is no doubt but what it will be.

Married. On Tuesday evening at 6:15 p. m. Mr. Louis £. Traylor and Mrs. Maggie Amos were united in the holy hoods of ijiatrimouy by Rev. Godwin at the home of A. A. TraylorVin Of well.

There is now a chance for a good location for an opera house, and those who have been for some years contemplating this move in building a place of amusement should put their words into action. A splendid location for such a building would be tide site of the recent fire. We are not j informed a* to whether the ground is for sale or not, but the location is a verv desirable one for such purposes. It is a corner lot and business rooms in that location would be easy to rent at good figures. Taking the ground where Kelley's saloon stood and the Ed King building would give a splendid building site. Now is the time to move in the matter.
