! INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD Eel
| iLows-DEDICATION OF THE HALL OF
| CAPE FEAR LODGE No. 2.-During the
past Summer Cape Fear Lodge has erected,
on their lot on Third street, opposite the
City Hall, a fine new three story building
The ceremonies of laying the corner stone
were duly noticed in the JOURNAL in June
last. The building has fine store on the
ground floor, hall on the second floor,
which is occupied by the Knights ofPythias,
and the Odd Fellows Hall, on the third
! floor, which is the home of the Lodge; and
| truly a pleasant and beautiful Hall it is.
| Thoroughly ventilated and heated, lighted
with beautiful gas fixtures and ornamental
with the emblems of the Order, it would
really seem that man could not find
more pleasant place to spend one evening
| in the week than in the social communion
Of the Odd Fellows In their new Hall. On
Tuesday night the ceremony Of the
dedication Of the building to the
i fFbusiLcss and purposes Of Odd Fellowship
took place. We were pleased to find the
| hall we'll filled with beautiful ladies, who had
assembled to grace the occasion with their
presence. The choir, led by Prof. Grabau
and Mr.. j. Hanson Bowden, discOurs-
ed its sweetest strains from time to time, as
the ceremonies progressed, and we but re-
peat the words of a learned legal gentleman
! of our city, who was present, when we say
| that ''m6rc impressive and sublime cere-
monies it has never fallen to our lot to wit
ness, though we have seen many solemn
| and interesting ceremonies in church and
State,''
The dedicatory services were performed
under the direction OF Deputy Grand

were present on that occasion, and cspe-

/ may be truly said their name was legion,)

cumstances respond moro tavOrabIy to
every wish and hope of the young. We
had James Bradley and his band
from your city, each one Of whom showed
himself to be worthy and equal to the re-

the musical world. With a disposition to

selves Il reputation rs musicians, THAT will
give them them the patronage Of our people
in ths community,
DIR, Simpson was more than himself on
this occasion, while his lady could be seen
wherever duty would suggest the necessity /
of her presence, te increase the interest and !!
happiness which was fl It. by aIl-cvcn tax
