Rebekah Grand Lodge action alters conventions and leadership
The Soversign Grand Lodge of Soversigns addressed the Rebekahs petition for a continuance with a near unanimous vote replacing national conventions. The Missouri grand lodge action on saloon keeper eligibility was upheld, Barnum’s and Ellis’s cases were decided, and the amendments to the constitution were rejected. The Daughters of Rebekah honored Mia Rea with a diamond emblem amid unresolved discontent. All proposed constitutional amendments were voted down and changes appear unlikely.

Cotton Crop Bets and Oddities From 1889 News
In 1889 a Memphis Cotton Exchange pool wagered $1,000 that the cotton crop would exceed 7,400,000 bales, with a second wager on 7,350,000. The crop later tallied 7,514,728, and the New Orleans backer lost. Also noted: silver pig shipments through Chattanooga, a large cash offer rejected by Mississippi cotton grower James S. Richardson, a murder accusation in Alabama, a Ky policeman shot, a Confederate envoy dead in England, and a Dallas County revival poisoning where one hundred diners were harmed with eight deaths reported.
