Martin who delivered short eulogistiC address, commenting the lodge upon the grand success they had achieved in Odd Fellowship, He spoke of the order as 1t was, as it is, and as it should be. He was fol lowed by A, Bailey, N. c., whose ad- dress we give in full. He spoke as follows;
 BRErHREN'--lt is with fratsrnal gratitude, that I return you my sim cere thanks for the courtesy extended by electing and installing me in the highest position conferred in G subor- dinate lodge, and I assure you, my en- deayors to promote the interests and welfare of the order, will be as infalli- ble as ny knowledge of Odd Fellow ship will permit It will be my great est aim, when l am called upon to surrender the gavel of authority, to merit the confidence you have placed in me when indueted in the chair of N C., and l wish to impress upon your minds, that the success of a pre- siding officer greatly depends un the assistance and cooperation of the oth- or members, This is hardly necessary for me to ask, knowing by experience that each and every member never shrinks from a duty assigned them relative to the promotion of the sub lime principles of the order For the enlightenment of the visitors whc have honored IS with their presence l will say brieily--history informs us that Odd Fellowship took form in England in the 17th century when the organi. zltion was completed and their ban. ner was unfurled, bearing the inscrip- ton, relieve the distressed, educate the orphan, bury the dead" No grander motto was ever inscribed No institution was ever founded on a more fraternal basis. In 18l9, tue so- ciety was introduced into the United States by Thomas Wildey, who was bonored with the exalted position of the First Grand Sire of Inc United States. Since that time the order has gradually advanced, and to-day they can be found in every nation and every cline. The high, the low, the rich, and the poor, all meet in the lodge room upon one common plat form of equality, and alike enjoy the privileges of friendship and protec- ton. Etis a system of fraternal bene- violence and reciprocal aid. ''Visit the sick, "care for tho afflicted, succor the widow, aeducate the orphan, bury the dead With this fortifiea- tion for defense, 0dd Fellowship has, for more than century withstoodthe barbaric force of pnprincipled fanatr cism. Like other soeleties it is con. demRed, because tt is q secret institu- tion. t istrp it dees its work in < secret manner, but only to the extent that it's honor and integrity may ba preserved. But 1t cannot be said thas we conceal our principles CT designsi Odd Fellowship upholds and support8 everything that is calculated to pros
 mote universal happiness with mans kind. 0nl' tenants, friendship, broth-
