THE ODD FELLOWS RETURN.
Griffin Treated Them Royalty and
All Had a Good Time.


All Had "a Good Time.
Grand Master A. N. Manucy and the
majority Of Savannah's delegation to the
odd Fellows convention at Griffin re-
turned to the city yesterday morning.
They were all very much pleased with
their visit, and declared that they had
never been anywhere in their lives where
they were so royalty treated as they
were by the people of Griffin.
The fruit banquet rendered The conven-
ton Wednesday afternoon by the ladies'
of Griffin was said to be a most unique
affair. The scene was a most beautiful
one, and the banquet was most satsfac-
tory to the appetite. The tables were
laden with fruits of every description
and variety, most beautifully and taste
fully arranged. The fruits were fianked
by bottles of domestic wines.
These wines were recommended
to the guests as non-intox-
icating, but some of the Savannah prohi-
bitionists are said TO have discovered that
this was a mistake. The new Odd Eel
Grand Lodge, is a very attractive three
story building of pressed brick. Besides
stores on the ground floor 1t includes a
theater, lodge rooms and Offices.
Grand Master Manucy is being generally
congratulated by his friends on his promo
ton. 1t was expected of course. but the
Savannah Odd Fellows are none the less
pleased. Souvenir badges, bearing the like
ness of the new grand master, were dis
tributed by the Savannah delegates at the
convention.
A pleasant event of the convention was
the presentation to Warren lodge Of Crit
fin of a handsome portrait of the grand
master elect. The presentation was made
by Past Grand Master r. B. Russell of
Athens, in behalf of Mr.. Manucy, and was
accepted by Judge Robert T. Daniel of
Griffin in behalf of Warren lodge
The new grand master begins the year
with pleasant prospects of good work
ahead. The order now numbers 120 lodges
in Georgia, with several new ones in
view to be organized soon Among the
number is new lodge for Savannah.
AS an instance of how much the Savan-
nah delegates felt at home Sanitary In
spector w. II. Wall is said to have threat
ened to put merchant on the docket be-
cause he allowed watermelon rinds to be
thrown in front of his place. Inspector
Wall also objected to the quantity of
weeds which he found growing around
the city and before he left the street gang
was out cutting down the weeds This
shows the effect of good training
Grand Master Manucy had the pleas
ure of appointing Ex-Gov. James S. Boyn-
ton grand conductor at the request of
citizens of Griffin.

Captain Koran is by no means discour-

OF praise III regard TO the manner in which
his team had been treated in this country.
He frankly admitted that his team had
| been defeated fairly, and was surprised
that the team had scored as many points
as IL did, as the men were not acclimated
and ever since they started training have
been In rather poor health, owing to the
exlgencles OF the Eastern weather condi-
tions.
To-day the report was spread in college
circles that he had extended an invitation
| to the ale athletic committee to send a
/ team to England next year to compete.
The results OF the Oxford ale games of
last year have been a source of consider
| able chagrln to the American collegians
! and short time ago they announced
their intention of trying once more next
year.
While no definite action can be taken
until an official meeting of the athletic
committee is held, it is understood that
the management gave Captain Koran a
favorable answer and that the official ac-
ton OF the committee will be only surple
mentary. The team will leave next fall
andwill compete at Kensington Oval. Lon

a Good Methodist Lady, Who Lived Nat

a Good Methodist Lady, Who Lived Nat
uraity and Plainly.
Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct. GA curious
incident happened recently at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church in Los An
geles. The pastor, Rev. DR.. Campbell,
leaving the pulpit, walked down among
the congregation and, taking an old lady
by the arm. announced that she was the
Oldest member of the Methodist church in
California. He might almost with safety
have added the oldest in the world.
The old lady was sitting by her son,
Judge B. n. Smith of the Los Angeles Su-
perior Court, who explained that on that
day his mother had attained her one hun
dredth year, that she was born in New
York on September %, 1895, and that she
bad thus lived under all the Presidents of
the United States, about as old as the
Methodist Episcopal Church itself. She
had borne thirteen children, and has been
member of the church eighty-four years
The old lady herself gave in clear voice
strong tribute to the mercies of God and to
her love in doing his will.
She attributes her great age to simple
diet, even temper, and TO obeying the laws
of nature.
