Masonic leaders ot

many states of the central midwest are to be honor guests at one of the most notable Masonic functions held in recent years, according to information received in this city by members of the Scottish Rite, when that body holds its reunion at Indianapolis the week of March 18th. It is understood many members of the Rite in this city and county are planning to enjoy the membership reunion features and participate in the banquets. It is stated that the class of candidates for the degrees will be quite large and practically every one of the fifty-eight counties in the jurisdiction of this Masonic body will be represented. It is stated even a normal class will put

Classes were dismissed earlier this afternoon than usual a a celebration of Wahington’s birthday. Football talk is beginning to surge in the ranks of the high school boys and it is thought that there will be a squad organized next fall.

Several months ago the retail merchants of Greencastle met and organized an association known as the “Retail Merchants Credit Association.” Its purpose is mutual information and protection against those who have little or no regard for their obligations toward the merchants who have extended them credit in good faith and who expected when the credit was given to be treated in turn as fairly as they had treated the person to whom they had provided credit. To provide each merchant with a list of the “Dead Beats” has been a hard task for the committee in charge, but they have been diligently at it and the list is now on the press and will be distributed within the next few days It promises to be interesting reading for the people who get it. This list will be revised and corrected every two months so that it may be kept in as accurate a manner as possible This will keep the members of the association accurately informed as all times on the “Dead Beats’ ’in this community and prevent their further operations to a

marked degree.

It is the plan of the association to retain an attorney and bring legal processes to bear at an early date. All in all it is about the best move the local retailers have made in a

good many years.
