Considerable interest is being mani
tested here by members of the Odd
Fellows fraternity in the permanent
estat lishment of The grand lodge of the
order, " hich Is TO be determined at its
next annual meeting in Fort Worth OH
the first Monday in February next.
By former edict of the grand lodge,
no other places can be put in nomiua-
ton than the ones already in nomina-
ton, which are Austin, Galveston,
San Antonio, Dallas, and Waco. 1t is
believed by members here that Waco
will be the future permanent home
of the order, for the reason
that they have here one Of the lar
gest and most commodious halls in the
state, located in the third story of
magnificent brick building, aud as an
indictment to locate here, they pro-
pose to donate their hall TO the Grand
Lodge and in addition purchase the
two lower stories of the building and
donate the whole of it, the entire
property being worth about $4,000.
Waco is centrally located, and this
with the magnificent gift of the
building above referred to,
Will no doubt determine the majority
of the members at the grand lodge ut
their next meeting at Fort Worth to
vote for Waco. The grand lodge treas
ury now has over $40, 900 in it, and if
they accept the offer of Waco and To-
cate here, that money can and doubt
less wi be used for the establishment
of an orphans home for children of
deceased Odd Fellows.

The wholesale trade of Waco was
never better than at present. There
is tendency among wholesale men
to adopt as far as possible the cash
system. The wholesale trade OF the
country is not now what is was ten
years ago. Then in all lines Of goods
kind of free trade and sailors
rights was observed, but now there is
n decided tendency to sell all lines
of goods ON the COM
bination plan. Every whole
sale house is compelled to buy
certain lines of goods at certain prices,
and he Is forced TO maintain certain
prices; and six months after, when
that line of goods is disposed of by
him. he Is entitled to certain ''rebatesn
