The Odd Fellows Celebration
Last Wednesday, the anniEersary o
the introduction of the order of Cd,
Fellows in the United States, was ap
propriately celebrated by the brother
hood a; this place. The rainy, unfavor
able weather prevented as large an at
tendance as was expected, delegation
from neighboring lodges having beer
disappointed who had signifed their in
tention of being present to join in th'
anniversary celebration.
The brotherhood formed in procession
in front of their lodge rooms on Jackson
street, and under the lead of the Hick
man Star Band, marched from Jackson
to Clinton, up Clinton to Kentuek.
street, and thence through the uppe
part of town to the Methodist church
where the Order and audience assembled
were addressed by the Rev. Mr. Steele
of the Methodist church.
The address of Mr. Steele was splen
did effort, egideneing thorough ac-
quaintance with his snbjeet-the prin
ciples and purposes of the institution, and
abounded withal, in such happy flights
of eloquence. as to impress the whole
audience with the rare talents and gifts
of the speaker. The speaker is sorichly
gifted with language that the hearers
mind is perhaps tempted to linger too
long with its gorgeously deeked scenery
and amid its flower wreathed images,
to properly embrace the more solid facts
and truths, in which the address was re
plete. His address won the applause Of
the whole Brotherhood and audience.
After the address, the order marched
from the church to the Planters Hotel,
where was prepared most elegant and
sumptuous dinner, to which all Odd
Fellows, their wives, widows and orphans,
were invited The dinner table literally
groaned with everything good to eat; and
must not only have excited the pride of
the amiable hostess but that of every
Odd Fellow present. This dinner was
never equalled within our recollection in
Hickman.
The festivities of the day closed with
a pleasant dance at the Planters at night,
given by the young members of the
Lodge, and which was largely attended.
The devotees of TerpsichOre enjoyed
themselves we'll, as was proven by the
"giddy maize" being prOtraeted until far
into the morning
This day, Notwithstanding the unpro-
Pitous weather, will be a happy remem
brance to the Odd Fellows Fraternity
Everything passed as happily as could
have been expected under the circum-
stances.
The Hickman Star Band made its
debut in public procession on this occa-
sion. It's performance excelled the ex-
pectations of its warmest friends The

Do CITIES HAVE HoGs?-The hog
law is attracting much attentionin Hick-

agraph from the Louisville Commercial
will show that if Louisville has such a
law, it is not enforced:
A large transportation wagon passed
over the hindlegs of little pig at Fifth
and Main. yesterday. The efforts of the
poor little creature to drag itself out OF
the way excited the sympathy of the
spectators The mother of the broken
legged little animal seemed frantic with
rage. and endeavored, by almost human
action, to induce the little creature to
follow her-even helping it along with
her ungainly snout. This little incident
attracted nearly a hundred people, who
looked at the exhibition of the love of a
parent for its offspring with wonder and
