ODD FELLOWS.

A few years since and there were but
few Of the members OF this order in the
West: Now they are acquiring astanding
both for numbers and responsibility, which
bids fair to rival their oriental brcthren;-
while by their benevolent acts and chart
table deeds they are making an impression
upon the public mind at large which is fast
dissipating the unfounded and Liberal feel
ing which they have ever had to contend
with more or less
On last Thursday week we had the plea
sure of attending the celebration of the
anniversary of the establishment Of the
Far West Lodge No. f." at Boonvi!le.-
This Lodge has been established but a
short time, and Notwithstanding it has had
many difficulties to contend with, the
members composing it, convinced Of
the purity of their motives and the right
eousness of their cause, have nobly with
stood the persecution and other difficulties
that have been thrown in their way, and
they now number some sixty or eighty
members, whilst they are constantly re-
ceiving petitions for membership. Some
sixty were in the procession on The day
above mentioned. The procession took up
the line of march from the Lodge about |
O'Clock, and after marching through the
principal streets Of The ciDy, proceeded TO

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY"

A few weeks since, under this head we
took birds eye view" Of the various
aspirants for the Presidency on the side OF
our opponents, and entered INTO some spec
uation as to their chances of success
While there are SO many aspirants among
our opponents for the Presidential Chair,
we are rejoiced to see matters moving on
with so much harmony and unanimity on
our own side. At present, we have our op-
ponents where they have been in the habit
of having US; for, while they have the mat
ter TO settle between six or eight individ-
uals, warmly backed by their friends, pub
lie sentiment, on our side, points almost
unanimously to that distinguished and able
defender of his countrys rights and who
was very Justly and appropriately styled
the life, soul, and embodiment of Wing
Principles HENRY CLAY, of Ken
lucky. The Wing papers in every section
Of the country, that have made any cx-
preston of their sentiments on the subject
of the next Presidency--and there arc not
a few Of them--have expressed decided
preference for him who has always stood
ready to enter the breach where the honor
or interests of his country demanded; for
him who has stood upright and undaunted
before the fercest onsets of political mach
nations; for him who could lose the sight
of self and party when his country called :;
for him, in short, who has spent the prime
of his life in defending the interests of his
country and protecting the rights of his
countrymen--for him have they unfurled
their banners in the North and in the
South, in the East and in the West.
In him the Wings of the Union have
every confidence; for, while others have
swerved to the right and the left, and
caused the bosoms Of their friends to
burn with shame and indignation at their
duplicity and trcachery, he has moved
steadily onward and upward, maintaining
the rights Of his country so boldly and
firmly, that even his opponents quailed be-
fore him, some silently admiring, while
others burst forth in rapturous praise Of
the man who has so calamity borne the flag
of his country through the political trial:
that have agitated it. .t ...
Had it been left TO ourselves, we should
have preferred postponing the agitation o
the subject until next year. But a prctt!
general expression Of our friends of I'll,
press in different parts Of the Union on thu
subject, and the interest THE PEOPLE arr
beginning TO manifest in the matter
clearly indicate that the spirit that achieved
; the glorious victory of 1910 is beginnin!
TO be aroused: we therefore waive on
objections, and without further, at thi
time, setting forth his distinguished service
, to his country and the debt Of gratitud
6 due him from his countrymen, place at tn
;, head of our columns the name of
, HENRY CLAY,
, of Kentucky, for the Presidency in 1914
y Under his banner we shall be found bat
Ting, and shall use our utmost exertons Il
make Missouri to Henry Clay, what Henr,
Clay was, and is, to Missouri.

NEwspAPERs-ln writing on the sub
Ject Of Newspapers, some one remarks
that newspaper taken in a family seems
to shed CLEAN of intelligence around
It gives the children a taste for reading; it
communicates all the important events in
the busy world; it is never failing source
Of amusement, and furnishes fund of in
struction never to be exhausted. Every
family, however poor, if they wish to hold
4 place in the rank of intelligent beings,
should take al least one newspaper. And
the man who, possessed of property sufli-
cient to make himself easy for life, sur
rounded by children eager for knowledge,
is instigatod by the vile spirit of cupidity
and neglects to subscribe for newspaper,
is deficient in the duties of parent or a
good citizen, and is deserving OF the cen
sure of his intelligent neighbors. s....'

It is stated in the Palmyra Wing, that
Judge Mcbride, and other officers of the

the Marion College in that county, and all
the buildings and lands attached thereto
They have it in contemplation TO erect two
seminaries Of learning, male and female
for the education of the orphans and chill

UFMiss Hamblin, the actress, who kill
ed her husband in the theatre, is likely to
go scot free. She is SO pretty that il is
thought they cannot hunt up Judge or
jury down South who could find it in
their hearts to convict her. Hence the
South must be a capital place for pretty
woman to rid herself of tircsome husband.

Agricultural DEPARTMENT.
LARD OIL.

This is new article Of manufacture,
and from the short time it has been in
the market, has gained an almost unpar-
alleled popularity. The manufacturing
OF it, has, SO far, been confined entirely
10 the West; yet is large demand ia the
East will soon nuke it an article Of man
ufacturc throughout the United States.
We believe there arc manufactures es-
tabli.hed in ST. Louis, Louisville, Alton
and Palmyra, but the principal manufac-
tories arc in Cincinnati, in which city,
there are at present, three, which turn
out, in the aggregate, no less than 1000
gallons Of oil per day, and are unable at
that ratot to supply all orders for the ar
ticle.
This article is used on the western
steamboats, generally. 1t has been order
cd by the Navy Agent a, Norfolk, Va. !;
is used by the Michigan Southern rail
road in preference TO sperm oil, and has
teen ordered for some Of the large wool
en- factories in the East; and its superb
GRITTY 70 sperm oil for machinery has
been settled by nearly all the mechanics
who have tried il. Lard oil has been
preferred BY maay to sperm for lights -
II produces soft clear light and is free
trem all offensive smells from the smoke
or otherwise; besides, it can 10 afforded
for considerably less price than sperm
oil. The general use Of this article
throughout the United States will Of
course put severe check upon the prof
its Of tho New England whale fishery
establishments, while at the same time it
will increase in a prorortionatc rate, the
prcht to the Western farmer, and will Of
course increase the demand and price Of
pork.
