PHILADELPHIA, september IL.
1t is too hot to talk politics or any
thing else, and if colder weather does
not soon come this way it will find
US roasted mass.
On Tuesday next the primaries
take place, and on Wednesday the
nominating conventions will be held
and the candidates for the local Offices
will be chosen, and if the leaders will
note the feeling that is manifested
they will be careful in their selection.
AS I said before the people are OPP
posed to slated candidates, and will
make a gallant fight against any
slated candidate.
On Tuesday evening the West End
Association, of the Fifth ward, at

and squad of police; then followed
the visiting patriarchs from Philadel
phia and Springfield, Ohio, the past
grand masters councils and the visit
ing lodges. The procession was met
with evidences Of approval along the
route, marching in splendid order
and commanding much attention.
The heat was oppressive and the
men in line felt it keenly. The
patriarchs presented an elegant ap-
pearance and were frequently ap-
plauded, the handsome uniforms be-
ing much admired. Upon arriving
at the exposition grounds the exerci-
ses were opened with an able Grafton
by Rev. G. Asbury, of Wheeling, Va,
On the Benefits and Beauties of Odd
Fellowship. The contest for the
state banner was engaged in by the
Philadelphia, Allegheny and Pitts
burg patriarchs and was witnessedby a
large number of persons. The prize
contest for $50 in gold, which was to
have taken place at the colosseum
and in which the Springfield patriarchs
was to participate, did not come off
in time for my letter. The meeting
of the district lodge, the parade and
in fact the entire demonstration was
a grand success and marks another
grand era in the history of Odd Eel
lowship in this state. S. II. W.

weeks before the end of the Session.
for reasons abov" stated. which REDUCED
the number OF students to about TWEEN
ty or twenty-five. There were yer,
few scholars who lived there when the
school closed, the greater number being,
from distance, IN adjoining Counties
and States. Since the school closed
they have been leaving one by one. Nn-
til now they are nearly all gone. |,
makes us feel sad to give them the
parting hand. Although we were no,
one Of their number as school mates,
yet the social ties that had bound us for
the last six and twelve months seemed
very hard to sever. Misses LovetU and
Robertson, two of Georgia's faires,
daughters, left US last Saturday for
their homes. Georgia can boast OF
these, for they are two Of the few OF
Gods "Angels in disguise" There
never was more perfect ladies than
these. In Pickcns they know not the
name OF ''enemy," and none ever
knew them but to love them.
