THE AMERICAN ODD FELLOW.

THE AMERICAN ODD FELLOW.
TWENTIETH vOLUME-PUBLIsHED IN BOSTON.
'NHE Oldest and certainly the best family paper
for Odd Fellows in the country. Its design has
ever been to present the principles of the Indepen
dent Order of Odd-Felows prominently before tn,
public, and also such intelligence as to the pro
gress Of the Institution as shall be of a genela a
interest. The department devoted to matters per
tanning to the Order, though comprehensive ant
complete, occupies comparatively small portion
of the paper.
Various other journals of the Order having
bcenadded to it during the past few years, ant
recently the journals Of New York State, namely
the Banner of the Union, the Golden Rule, and the
Mirror of the Times.
ronage, we now appear before our brethren of thu
Order with greatly enlarged circulation, ant
shall do our best to merit the confidence and es
teen of the thousands of readers added by our new
arrangements.
SOM years past as there have existed va
rious journals of the Order in different parts O.
the country it has been considered necessary that
the Brother or the Lodge who would be informct
OF the progress OF our principles should take more
than one newspaper devoted to the interests Of the
..r: but this necessity of taking more than one
weekly r,al is entirely obviated by the arrange
ia.nts row made, aS W., have at great expers
secured not only the lists NJ subscribers and the
good will of all these weekly ;ewsp~i es'"'
shments, but the large and excellent corps Ct cor
respondents attached to them, and it will be our
endeavor to give not only the latest intelligence
from every part of the country, but to publish
every article of information which can be of in
terest to any member of the Order throughout
the United States.
We have disposition, an ardent desire, to fur
nish the Brothers Of our widespread Order the
best journal of the kind ever published, and with
their efforts, we will do it. We ask their assis-
tance in sending lis communications for the paper.
We have long been aware that it was not for
the interests Of the Order to have too many week.
ly newspapers. One journal of this kind we have
always supposed would receive adequate support,
while the same amount of patronage divided
among several would afford to each meagre sup.
port indeed. We have, therefore, after great ex-
ertion and expense, concentrated the entire weekly
press of the Order in one Journal The American
Odd Fellow and, Golden Rule, and it shall be our
constant aim and effort to make it the jealous ex-
ponent of the principles of our beloved Order.
TERMS.
The price of single subscription is 81 per an
nun, in advance; three copies for IS; five copies
for $s ten copies for $l5; twenty copies for S25;
thirty copies for $35.
The late subscribers of the Golden Rule will
be furnished with the American Odd Fellow at the

all subscribers.
