Devon Widows Annuity Fund.
DEVON WIDOWS ANNUITY FUND .
FOE many years Devonshire Freemasons have supported local funds for aiding distressed Brethren , and the orphan children of Masons , but no such provision has been made for the widows . Some Brethren thought this ought to be remedied , and consequently a resolution was brought before the Western Masonic Association , affirming that it was desirable to establish
an Aged Widows Annuity Fund . This was unanimously agreed to , and a small Committee was appointed to take the preliminary steps for its inauguration . The Committee worked so energetically that they were able to call together those who had promised
financial support , and a meeting was held on Wednesday , 12 th inst ., at Gandy Street Masonic Hall , Exeter , when ' Major G . Strode Lowe , Chairman of the Western Masonic Association , presided over a large attendance .
The Secretary of the Provisional Committe , Bro . Gifford , read the Committee ' s report . The adoption of the same , and a resolution that the Aged Widows Fund be established , was moved from the chair , and agreed to unanimously and heartily . The meeting then proceeded to the election of the Officers
fur the ensuing year , as follow : — -Major G . Strode Lowe , J . P ., P . M . 1855 P . P . GJ . W . P . G . D . M . M . M . Chairman , Bro . S . J . Page , C . C ., P . M . 1099 Vice-Chairman , Bro . F . B . Westlake P . M . 70 P . G . J . W . Treasurer , Bro . James Gifford P . M . and Sec . 2025 P . P . G . S . D . Secretary , and Bro . Frank Mabin 105 Assistant
becretary . A General Committee was formed , comprising one representative from each contributing Lodge , and all donors of five guineas or more . An Executive Committee was elected , embracing the Officers , members of the Provisional Committee ,
and Bros . John Lane P . A . G . D . C . Eng ., S . Jones P . P . G . J . W ., E . H . Shorto P . M . 39 , and T . W . Atherton P . M . 248 . This Committee was also empowered to complete the bye-laws and submit them to the General Committee .
Bro . W . J . Hughan P . G . S . D . Eng . spoke of his strong sympathy with the movement , and gave some particulars of the methods adopted in other Provinces . The success of the fund is assured by the hearty way in
which the Brethren in the Province have supported it . Although some who have stated their intention to give have not yet named the amount , the Secretary was able to announce that the promises given up to the day of the inauguration had reached nearly £ 850 . — " Western Mercury . "
We are asked to publish copy of a letter sent by Mr . Seaman to Bro . John Mason , in reference to the latter ' s remarks which appeared in our correspondence column last week , but having no
desire to mix ourselves up with the quarrel between these two , or the legal proceedings threatened by Mr . Seaman , and , moreover , considering the letter would hardly interest our readers , we withhold it .
Eeplying to a correspondent , the Editor of " To-Day" says : " I know nothing of Freemasonry personally , but my acquaintanceship among Freemasons prompts me to think only good of the body . Of course there are Freemasons who are not all they should be , but there aie shady individuals to be found in every community . We cannot generalise from that ,
