Columbia Lodge, No. 96, Free and Accepted Masons, and Columbia Chapter, No. 7, now have one of the nicest and best fitted halls in the State. The hall is new and takes up all the floor room in the third story of the Jeffries building. New furniture has been installed, and last week a new cork carpet was put down, making it one of the most inviting halls in Kentucky. The Masons of this lodge now have ample room in which to work. The members of sister lodges are invited to our meetings, our team promising to show them good and true work. Professor C.H. Richardson, head of the department of mathematics at the Georgetown College, has been given a fellowship at the University of Michigan.
