Of the First district OF Cecil county, Nd.
was out In full force at Cecilton on Satur-
day. At 1890 in the morning line was
formed, in which 200 horsemen pArtioi-
pAted together with about 1000 persons
on foot, and also 20 very pretty and Ap-
propriate floats occupied by ladies carrying
banners, many of which bore the portrait
OF Cleveland and Hendricks. One ban
ner carried by beautiful little girl with
the inscription, "BlAins's circus came to
grief on November 4th," was only
sample Of the many others.
The procession moved through the prin :
oipal streets and about half mile beyond
the town, 1t then countermsrched TO q
grove on border Of Cecilton, where q
table was spread with inviting food, OF
which about !, 200 people partook. The
OK was not roasted whole but cut In
pieces and cooked at different houses and
it was as sweet rosst as anyone could
ask. There wAs also plenty Of good ham,
chicken and Maryland biscuit. The
ladies Of the district are to be thanked
for the attention given the tables.
After dinner was over and music by the
two bands In attendance, Hon. James B.
Groome Of Rlkton was introduced and
highly entertained the people for an

The report for 1883 gives tue number OF
lodges as 81 and membership 2,b4s,
showing q slight decrease in the number
OF members. There has been no gain In
lodges. Nor can there be unless the
population Of the State is materially In.
creased. There is scarcely = village or
hamlet In the jurisdiction that has suf.
6oient material without an Odd Fellows
lodge.
During the so ysars embraced by the
history Of Odd Fellowship In Delaware,
10000 persons have been made acquainted

have died, 457 widowed families have re-
oeivsd peounisry relief, causing an ex-
penditure Of sl24, ,848,72. For the so
years Of our existence as a grand lodge
there has been expended for siok and
funeral benefits and for donations the
magnificent sum Of $350,000. A sum
almost equal in amount has been re.
quirsd to meet other expenses incidental
TO the working Of the lodges. Thus in
so years we have distributed

Notwithstanding this great outlay
something has been put aside for
emergencies. Nearly every lodge in the
jurisdiction owns the building In which
