This is our off year on electing a mayor, but our neighboring city, Waxahachie, has a contest on, and a great clamor by some for a change. While we have no disposition to meddle in the policies of other towns; we look with pride to the progress that has been made in Waxahachie during the last two years. She is just about to open her cotton mill;' she launched the Chautauqua, besides many other enterprises of great worth to the town. Her business men are all having the best trade in her history. Why this clamor for change! To the Knights of the Maccabees all members of Ennis Tent No 3 are urgently and especially requested to attend the review on next Thursday night as important business and business concerning every member and interest of the Maccabees generally will come before the Tent. T.H. Collier, Commander W.V. Fisk, Rec Keeper NOTE:The Knights of the Maccabees were a fraternal and benevolent "legal reserve society." Families of deceased members received benefits in the form of legal-reserve insurance. All white persons of sound health and good character, from birth to 70 years of age, were eligible for membership. Their name comes from the Biblical Maccabees. The order was founded in London, Ontario in 1878 and reorganized in 1883. Before 1914, it was known as the Knights of the Maccabees. Subsequent to 1914, it has been simply been called "The Maccabees". ============ ADVERTISING The Globe Tailoring Co 112 W. Brown The Board of Trade Saloon S.H. Brown, Gen Mgr E.S.
