LITTLE ROCK, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1889

A SUBSCRIBER in Kansas writes of beautiful and
accomplished young lady Of his city who leaves her
pleasant home and goes to farm to keep house
for brother, in order that he may be farther re-
moved from an unhealthy moral atmosphere. Such
girl is an ornament, and should be pride in any
community.
AMERICA has been giving some time favored
proofs of marital devotion and aversion by some
apt illustrations taken from life. Among the
former is to be found the following, which is
as sublime as any of the reminders in the lives of
great men,
cit is doubtful whether any chronicle or romance
of the days of chivalry contains so touching an
instance of matrimonial devotion as that lately
told me of Gen. Grant When the honors came
upon The Grants, like sorrows to the house of Den
mark, 'snot single spies, but in battalions, the
mistress of the White House began to renew the
dream Of her grlhood-to have her cross-eyes
Strengthened. Wishing to surprise the president,
Mrs. Grant, telling nobody, sent for the most emil
nent oculist in America He willingly promised to
undertake the operation, which he assured her
would be easy to accomplish, and without danger.
The good lady could not contain herself for joy,
and, woman-like Gam | right, mesdamesD gave
way when she saw her husband and confded to
him her secret, the pleasure she had in store for
him. He looked wistfuly into those dear eyes
which had held him with tender gaze through all
the trials of checkered career, and said, in his
simply way: Julia, wish you would not change
lIa., ,.-It
seems strange if altered. Nor Launceot nor
Romeo, nor lover of any cline or age, ever spoke
words of tenderer galantry than those of the hero
of Appomatox."

1888, at the Metropolitan A. NJ. b..
Church. on October l6, 1889, on the oc-
casion of the 43d anniversary OF the m
troduction of the Grand United Order OF
Odd Fellows in the District Of Columbia.
Most Worthy Master Of Ceremonies;
Brothers of the Order and Ladies and
Gentlemen. Four years ago, when L
had the honor to address you on an oc-
casion like the present one, lendeaVored
to present for YOUR consideration, some
observations on the principles auu leh-
denotes of Odd Fellowship.
The Principle Of Charity ana the
Social Principle were set before you, as
It's two most distinctive features, because
whatever other principles 1t pro1essed,
were the Outgrowth OF these anu MAUI
ralty followed from them. also under
took to show that the General Tenden-
cies of Odd Fellowship were to make
us better men, morally, Intellectually,
socially, and that its Special TENDENCIES
were to nourish and strengthen within
us the Spirit of Charity, and to foster
and deyelope a Practical Benevolence.
And now permitted to participate III
these interesting exercises, and again
honored with an invitation to speak TO
Won. I desire in the brief space OF time
allotted me. to direct your attention to
some of the practical workings OF the
Order or aims and purposes OF ODD
Fellowship, as taught and exempli1led
bv the Grand United Order OF Odd
Fellows, the Add Anniversary OF whose
introduction in the Capitol OF our
country, we this day celebrate, ana
whose past history and wonderful
achievements in the cause OF suffering
humanity have been just so elogently
presented by our distinguished brother
and wisely chosen orator OF the DAY,
Rev. Dyson.
am not unmindful OF the TACT, my
brethren, that it is customary on occo-
sions of this kind to indulge in compll-
mentary allusions to the eXceliency ana
superioritv of the organization in whose
interests we happen to be assembled or
whose anniversary is sought to be COM
memorated And especially IS TINS true

us, known as ''Secret cocletles' Anu

self praise and self glory.
AS Odd Fellows not only do we love
to contemplate its wonderful history,
but we love to dwell upon our remote
origin, dating back as some tell US, to
.st6e time whereof the memory OF man
meth not to the contrary.
We delight to retrospect the past ana
reyelIing amid the dim and musty
records of antiquity, discover the day,
and bring to light the hour if possible E

ESTABLISHMENT OF ODD FELLOWSHIP
SOUTH OF MASON AND DIXON's LINE.
The G. u. o. of 0. f. made its
first appearance in the South, with
the establishment of Harmony
Lodge No. 818, in Alexandria,
March 18th 1916.
The desire for branch OF the
Order in the District Of Columbia,
entered the minds of such old and
respected citizens as;
John F. Cook, Sr., founder of 18th
St. Presbyterian Church; Benz. M.
Mccoy, long known in the order
as Father Mccoy John L. John
son, ex-Treasurer Of the District
and father of our esteemed citizen
Jerome A. Johnson Joseph /.
Mason, father of our successful
school teacher and elocutlonlst,
Miss Anna NJ. Mason; Charles ID.
Wilson and William Pierre; Dan'l
Bond and James IL. Fleet, who
was at that time school teacher
and musician.
These gentlemen applied to be
made into lodge; their request
was complied with and the out
come was the establishment Of
Union Friendship Lodge No. 891,
Sept. 9Th 1916.
The first meetings OF the Lodge
were held over the school room OF
Mrs. Fannie jenkins, in an old
frame building on 26th street
between | and K streets. The
membership increased SO rapidly
that the Lodge was soon compelled
to move and they secured quarters
in the school house of Mr.. Fleet,
who was then teaching in the
northwestern part of the city, near
what is now known as the z street
bridge.
From the only records accessible
to the LEADER it appears that the
first meeting, as Lodge, was held
Oct. 9th 1916, with the following
officers: 2. N. Fs., Charles ID
Middleton and D. Jackson. n

z. Crusor. n. g., Jas H. Fleet

vivor of them all.
The benefits derived were soor
seen and felt throughout the city
and the order in the District to
day can boast OF "a Lodges,
Households of Ruth, 2 P. q. M
Councils and 2 Patriarchies, will
a total membership of 1927 anc
controlling funds to the amount O
$2O,757.28.
The Order in the District looE
upon Union Friendship as ths
Mother Lodge and each subordl
nate lodge is proud to be consider
ed, either directly or indirectly, a
one of her branches.
Though Union Friendship Lodgt
was established at a time when l

unless he could give a very satls
factory account Of himself, yet she
fourished as a green bay tree and
to-day can boast of II members

condition than ever before and is
receiving desirable accessions at
every meeting of the Subordinate
Lodges.

ktriumph II have found it, have found
| it. have found it,
| Iremark again that Odd Fellowship
also seeks to cultivate more sympa-
thetic and generous spirit, not only as it
relates to those within the 'mistlc
circle but in relation to those that are
without as We'll Hence it teaches that
every man is dependent upon his fellow
man. That we cannot stand III pos
ture of selfish isolation from the great
mass of mankind That their misfor-
tunes are in a great measure our own.
And that as children of the same Father
we are bound to help our brother man IN
the struggle, temptations and vlclssltudes
which may came upon him. 50 that one
tof the main Pillars upon which Odd
Fellowship rests is Mutual Relief, or
the duty to relieve the distressed and
secure the needy in time of destitution
and want.
True, it does not undertake to relieve
!all want For no Organization could do
this unless it comprised all the compe-
tent members of the human family, but,
as already remarked, though under Pc
culiar Obligations to take care OF its own,
vet it seeks to cultivate a sympathetic
and generous spirit by giving relief to
human want and woe, wherever, when
ever and under whatever circumstances
found. SO that the true Odd Fellow be-
comes known among men as one ever
prompt and liberal when suffering calls,
or sorrow needs Il friend.
But, it is the glory and excellence OF
our Order not to expose to the gam OF
the world, what wants we supply what,
griefs we assuage, what tears we wipe
away, what sights We hush, what mid
night hours we spend at the bedside OF
the afflicted, what words OF cheer we
impart to the disconsOlate, what aid we
extend to the helpless, what private
efforts we make to reprOve the presuIup-
tions and to reclaim the erring

UNRECORDED BENEFACTIONS.

Nor are the benefactions OF the Order
confined to its own council or bestowed
only OIL those within its pale, but III
Lodge and individual capacity, it has
largely contributed to public and prl-
vate charities. And could these be
gathered together | am quite sure that
none of us would be ashamed OF the re-
cord that Odd Fellowship would present.
These things, however, from the
silent history Of the Order. And are
written rather in Heaven than on earth.
In respect to them, statistics and state
ments, are alike incomplete and they
will forever remain unrecorded on our
books here, but are written i'll unfadlng
letters on the rolls i'll the Grand Lodge
above.
But would you get some faint idea OF
what the Order has done, then go to
those hearths and homes where ODD
Fellowship flows, although it be secretly
and in silence, like the noiseles5 and re-
freshing river, yet you may trace where
it has been by thousand green spots
that gladden. the eye and margin Its
course.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

And now my brethren, whilst | con-
Qratulate vou on the evidence of the
substantial progress made during the
past year. vet I would exhort you that
in your whole conduct you illustrate
the glorious principles we profess. Let
us not forget the grave responsibilities
resting upon us. Let us not permit any
opportunity to pass of relieving the dis
tress of another, especially of the
Brotherhood.

why THIS OFFER is MADE

Desiring to show in some meas,
ure at least my appreciation Of the
liberal patronage | am enjoying
this season have been looking for
some method of expressing nv
thanks in a manner that would be
pleasing to my patrons. While /
would much prefer to present to
EVERY caller some kindly token of
regard, the number Of gifts neces>
sary to 90 around would be so reat
that each separate git, OF necessi>
ty, could not represent much value.
| have therefore determined to
combine all III one, and once every
month present to some one of nv
customers 4 PRESENT WORTH FTAy-
ING. No favoritism or partially
will be shown in the selection Of
the customer who is to receive the
gift, as that difficulty has been
avoided in the following simple
but efectual manner.
During the month every person
who, at any one time, purchases
goods from me to the amount of
81 90 OF upwards, will receive a
numbered ticket which entities
them to place among the persons
to be selected frcm. Separate cards
with numbers corresponding to
those on every ticket given out
will be placed in a glass jar, and
after they are thoroughly mixed,

card drawn will receive the beau>
