Too much praise cannot be given TO
Sumner Associations; its reputation
as an A No. / association was established
long ago and this affair only adds an.
other gem to the crown of success the
courtesy which they extended to the
other associa tions in inviting their Dresi-
denes to represent them is good one
aud should more firmly cement the
fraternal feeling which exists. We wish
Sumner all the success IN the world and
hope that before long they will be the
banner association of the district.
Sumner Lodge No. 1870 met last Monday
night. a fair attendance was present.
Although large number of brothers were
absent on account of the ball it did not
prevent the work from being done in
good style
Garfield Association win meet next
Wednesday night. A full attendance is
requested, as business OF Importance will
be transacted
Harmony Encampment will meet next
Friday night, and the new district dep
uty will be present.
A number OF prominent citizens of Jer-
sey City who are charitably inclined have
purchased very handsome rug chair
from Brother George Dompiere, costing
$32. 1t Is the intention of these gentle
men to dispose of the chair by drawing,
in short time. in aid of an estimable cit
izen, who is the father of a
large family and who has been sick for
about five years. Tickets for the draw
ing can be had at Brother Dompierre's
store at stwenty-five cents each. The
cause is worthy one and should receive
the hearty support Of all the brothers.
The committee have thus far raised
about $500, and when sufficient funds
have been raised. the worthy beneficiary
will be started in some little business to
enable MIN to keep the wolf from the
door.
It is about time there was an Odd Eel
lows Hall erected in Jersey City. The
subject has been talked about SO long
that it is getting to be an old chestnut.
We cannot understand why there is such
lack of interest displayed on the part of
the members in regard 30 this very i'm
portant subject or why some chance is not
given them to get together aud express
their views on this question. To doubt
in Jersey City is folly. for there never
was time in the history OF Odd Fellow
ship in this city more propitious than the
present. With a total membership of
over two Thousand something should be
done. We understand there Is plan of
some kind IN reference TO the building OF
an Odd Fellows Hail. If there is, why
don't the projectors of this scheme send a
representative to the lodges and give the
members chance to take hold and help
in the good cause. or how would it
do to get the lodges united and
interested enough to hold fair under the
auspices of the United Odd Fellows for
the benefit of hall. There are enough
earnest Odd Fellows in this city to make
an affair OF this kind successful II not
IN this way, why not issue shares at so
much per share? There would be plenty
of brothers willing to start it in some
way, and will do so. Set the ball rolling.
II the building was erected In this city 1t
would afford not only home for the diff
ferent lodges, but would be an ornament
to the city.
We are glad TO notice the fact that asso-
Citations are springiug up in almost all of
the Odd Fellows lodges in this city They
are a great benefit to the lodge, and in
many instances the backbone of lodge.
When entertainments Of any kind are
given the association bears the burden;

younger memberss of lodge and bind
them more firmly together socially,
where they would not be brought together
If it were not for the association. Another
fact is that the greatest harmony exists
between all the associations of the differ
ent lodges and it may be said of them
that they are kindred. In view of this
fact we understand that at an early date
the presidents of the different ass ocia-
tons will be invited to q confer ence
Some good will surely come out of it.
There are some new things un der the
sun yet.
Garfield Lodge met last wednes day
night. no work was done but the meeting
was good and full of interest. Representa-
tive @. E. Richards presented his report
of the Grand Lodge proceedings. 1t was
full of interest. Several new propositions
were received. A number of visi tors were
present.
Rising Star Lodge No. 210 met la st Mon
day night. the meeting was well at tended
as the night was cold and the lodge roo M
comfortable. Rising Star like all the
other lodges will soon have new officers.
A great deal Of credit is due the officers
of this lodge for they have attended
faithfully To their duties aud the result
has been that the lodge has increased in
members during the last term. The
third degree was conferred by the lodge
team and was we'll done. In good and
welfare q number of brothers made re-
marks which MAIDS the evening pass very
pleasantly visitors are always welcomed
at 2l0.
Brorher A. Mandigo we hear is grea
orator. How is this Lon.
p G. James F. Hall contemplates leav-
ng the farm and becoming one of the
city folk. The boys will be glad TO see
him as the good brother is an energetic
and loyal old fellow who is ever ready to
do his utmost to advance the inte rests OF
the order When he gets back 10 the city
he will be seen frequently at the meet
ings of the sister loages. He is always at
mis- own.
