Ivy Lodge at West Paris.

BY invitation, Ivy Rebekah Lodge of
Odd Fellows of this city, visited Onward
Lodge of West Paris Tuesday evening.
The Portland party started at 5.15 p. m.,
on the Maine Central train, and arrived
at their destination just before s clock,
and were met atssthe depot by commit
tee, and escorted first TO the banquet
hail, where the ladies of Onward had
prepared an elegant supper consisting of
cold turkey, ham, and oysters. After
the divine blessing was invoked. the no.
BILE grand of Onward Lodge received the
guests with a few complimentary re-
marks, which were responded to in a
most pleasing manner by Mr.. Sale, of
Ivy. Mr.. William Willard of Ivy Lodge,
was called on for a few remarks, and
said he hoped that they would excuse
him, as the inner man was in such a
state that it would not be doing himself
Justice to make any very extended talk,
but what MIR. Willard did say was very
pleasing, and much enjoyed by those
present. The visitors left Paris for home
on special train, and arrived in Port
land at 1.30.a. m. Ivy's select quartz tie
entertained the lodge on the way home,
and the whole affair proved to be exceed
ingly pleasant.
Next Saturday evening, Ivy Lodge will
treat it's mem bers to an entertainment
and poverty sociable. The ladies are
to furnish the gingerbread on brown pa
per, and the gentlemen the water. "Bil-
ly" Willard will probably be able to con-
clude his Paris speech at this gathering.

CHRONIC GRUMRLERS

People who grumble are many. They
continue it so long that it becomes
chrome The BYsTANDER omits an
item or two and the vials of wrath are
turned loose on the devoted head of the
editor We want to say that items are
omitted many times because of their
late arrival. We have been compelled
to turn away advertising on account of
its lateness Again we publish more
local news than a majority of the
Negro papers i'll the country. We can
not and do not expect to publish all
unless the people here will show us by
their patronage and actual cash support
that they are willing to assist in doing
for the same. We have worked
wear and have taken hours from sleep
and pleasure and leisure to devote to
the interest of the people of Iowa and
the citizens of Des Moines. We do not
intend to attempt to satisfy the
grumblers. The people of Des Moines
can do great deal more toward sup
porting paper owned and controlled
exclusively by Negroes. The smaller
towns of the state are doing well.
There is not a day passes but what we
receive from two to fifteen subscribers
from without the city. The size of the
town has nothing TO do with the case.
We have been connected with the
newspapers of Iowa for the past
twenty years--as devil" printer,
publisher and editor We have edited
Republican papers in Democratic
counties. The patrons disagreed with
the paper in politics, but the business
relations were of the most pleasant
character, anu friendships were formed
never to be forgotten. A great many
times too much is expected of a paper.
This is dedicated to the chronic
grumblers. and it is the last-the
final,--to those who expect more of a
Negro journal than any other paper.
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1895-05-24

the city and its people in a thousand
ways Men have come into this city
hearing mot peace but a sword =
Their profession or calling would lead
one to think that their first duty was
to make the people more united and
stronger and better, but such did not
appear to be the case. Friendships Of
years standing were broken by these
men who came here under false pre-
lenses. We have no objection to any
man coming into this community who
will put his shoulder to the wheel Of
advancement and helps to move it.
Such man will meet with the hearty
co-operation of the citizens here. A
man must have more than a title. He
must be man in every sense of that
word. A title or calling is not weighed
in measuring a man. His deeds count
for more than his profession. 1t is not
the duty or privilege of any man to go
into any community and disturb the
peace and quiet of its homes. Such
things have been done in this city and
we want to enter our earnest protest.
These things have been done by men
who did not own dollars worth of
property, had no friends, only acquain-
tances whom they were introduced to
after arriving in the city. The only
direct and absorbing interest of inn
portance they had or will have in this
city is their salary. When the salary
ceases to be forthcoming they will de-
part for new fields and pasture greener
and the "plucking" better The strifes
and the people of Des Moines will be
forgotten. No man should be followed
who leads badly and shows a
decided tendency to be selfish and
mercenarv
