GRAND LODGE ROOM.


| Societies md secret organizations
are numerous and. fiourishing In Mar
tinsburg, andssone of their halls are
models of taste in furnishing and ar.
rangement. The Odd Fellows Hall in
the Market House building has recent
ly been remodeled and more conveD.
iently arranged, and we dare say there
Iare few private meeting rooms any.
where that present a more inviting
and attractive appearance. The main
entrance is on the Queen Street side,
where the side wall has been cut down
and the steps enlarged The. hallbe-
low and the stairway are carpeted aud
painted, and also the ante-room
above, in which neat wall.cupboards
are arranged where the uniforms and
other property are kept. The main
hall has very high ceiling, is finely
papered, carpeted with Brussels, and
adorned with emblems of the order,
and the walls hung with neatly franz
ed pictures of members in rank and
degree, and copies of official DEGREES.
There are four thrones for officials, one
facing the other ON each side of the
iOOlll ,-lllC Oitllto DCluS vi
the finest wood and costly upholstery.
The organ and chairs correspond with
the surroundings, and the drapery in
the dim light of a closed apartment
gives the hall an enchanting appear
ance, in harmony with the mysteries
that are yelled to the uninitiated. The
Hall belongs to the order, the i'm
provements are all paid for, and the
members may well feel proud and
satisfied with their belongings.
The following are the officers of
Canton Eureka No. 2, p. NJ. I. o. O..

WEAVING, Lieut.; G.. v. Rathman,
Ensign; d. A. T. Westal, Clerk; A.
T. Russler, Accountant.
The order of Odd Fellows, estima-
ting all the branches in the world,
numbers 100000 men, the largest
secret order known. In this country
it dates from the separation from the
Mother Order in England, effected in
Baltimore, April 26th, 1918. 1t is now
an American order institution and
has a membership of $50, 800 in this
country, under the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Independent Order of Odd
Fellows. The order is rich, has over
5000 subordinate lodges, in good cir
cumstances. The revenue last year
was about 100000, of which $780,
600 was expended in relief. The Sow
ereign Grand Lodge is the head of the
order, and holds an annual meeting,
this year at Los Angeles. The en-
campment branch of the order is call
ed Patriarchs, and consists. of 2, 900 en-
campments,- 900 members. The
Patriarchs Militant is new branch,
and is the outgrowth of the military
sentiment of. the u. s. They are
ranked and uniformed, with officers
and staff,-colors. banners and flags,
according to. their subdivisions,
much on the order Of the military !;
but their benevolent features and gov
eminent are according to the order of
Odd Fellowship. .-.

KILLED BY A BLAST. -HANCoCK, Aug.
"A terrible explosion occurred near
this place this afternoon, on the new
division of the b. S. & p. r. r.. which
resulted in the instant death of j. III.
Shackleford, a foreman of the road, and
the serious if not fatal, injury of three
colored men named Andrew Smith,
William Stotler and Henry Green. The
accident was caused by the premature
explosion of a blast. Foreman Shackle-
ford, who was formerly an agent of the
B. & o. r. r. at Sleepy Creek, had been
experimenting the blasting OF number
of huge rocks, and had succeeded in
clearing out number of boulders. Be-
fore clearing away the debris he started
to reload blast, and was surrounded
by the colored men and other help.
While placing in the charge the powder
exploded, throwing Shackleford some
distance, and covering him with pieces
of broken rock. The colored men were
also thrown violently to the ground.
Smith had several ribs of his right side
broken. Stotler was badly cut about the
head and injured internally. Green
was also hurt about the head. The body
of Mr.. Shackleford was removed TO the
shanty, and Drs. Perkins and Stigers
summoned. Life was extinct. The
physician removed both plates of the
skull of Smith, who is thought to be ia
tally injured. Green will probably lose
the sight of both eyes. Stotler may re-
cover. Smith and Green were badly dis
figured. Foreman Shackleford resided
near this place, and leaves a family.
His remains have been sent home. The
colored men also have families.

ty-eight years old at the time of his
death. He was faithful minister of
the gospel for the period of twenty
band and faithful friend.
This community was sadly shocked
last week by the announcement of the
death of Miss Florence Lucas, daugh-
ter of eX-Sheriff Robert Lucas, which
occurred at her home about three
miles south of this place last Friday.
Miss Lucas was sick little over a

The deceased was aged 81 years, Il

William Kephart, son of Mr.. Jacob
Kephart, of Duffields, died suddenly
on Tuesday night about midnight,
after an illness of only two days. He
had been sufferer from rheumatism
for some time, but he had gotten

A TURKEY GoBBLER RAISES A
FAMILY.-Mr. Geo. w. Wolf, living
near Vanclevesville, tells US pretty
SUUu otoIy VI all Olu tuthey SODUl6T
that he owns. Some weeks ago the
gobbler showed very earnest desire
to go into the business of Matching
eggs, and set around on. old door
knobs, tin cans, &C., until he was
given charge of nest containing some
chicken and turkey eggs. He was
delighted with his new occupation,
and stuck to the eggs closely. Unfor-
tunately, some of the eggs were brok-
en-, and by the time they were ready
to hatch only one little chick and one
little turkey came forth. But the
gobbler was satisfied, and he bestow-
ed all his affection on his two off
springs. He takes good care of them,
and devotes all his time to their wei.
fare, lowering over them whenever
danger appears or night time comes.
He can't forget that he is still tur.
key gobbler, and sometimes struts
around as only a turkey gobbler can
But generally he spends his time for.
aging for his little family, clucking
affectionately to them and ever and
anon waging war upon various in,
quisitive intruders. 1t is not Otter
| that turkey gobbler engages in such
occupation.
