THE ODD FELLOWS.


AsS ~ isA0l &dukOWHs
Last week was busy one for Nor
gautown Odd Fellows. The several
bodies composing the Grand Lodge Of
the State met in that thriving city
and incidentally dedicated the finest
temple in West Virginia.
There was large attendance and
reports indicate that the order is in
a prosperous condition, the member
ship in the State being 8,a27. 1t was
a busy session, adiourning on the
aad. The question of introducing an
insurance feature in the order did not
meet with favor, and the best its adj
vocates could do was to have it post
poned until the next meeting, at Hin
ton.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: S. L. Dodd, of
this city, Grand Master, R. H. Freer,
OF Richie Courthouse. Deputy Grand
Master; George c. Stuigiss, of Nor
gantown, Grand Warden; Ellis A.
Billingsley, Grand Secretary; Henry
Seaman, Grand Treasurer; John A.

SUCCESS IN SIGHT.

1t is a source of congratulation to
the enterprising citizens Of Martins
burg that the object sought to be at
tanned by the Business Mems Associa-
ton is in fair way to beaccomplished.
This commendable condition has
been brought about, not by those
possessed OF wealth, not by those who
will be most benefited, but by that
sturdy, plodding class who earn their
bread by thesweat oftheir brows and by
the small shopkeepers, following in
the lead of the enterprising gentle
men composing the Association.
There are men in the city who are
better able to carry 100 shares than
are some of the girls and boys work
ing in shop and factory able to carry
one. Yet an inspection OF the list Of
subscribers reveals the fact that the
bulk of the subscriptions up to date
are by persons who are not really
able to carry them, who have to de-
prive themselves of the necessaries of
life in order to do so.
There are business men who will
be largely benefited by the industries
which are to be secured who have not
deigned to notice the struggle going
on.
There are farmers who depend upon
the town for a living who will not
even listen to the suggestion that
they above all others are interested in
the growth of the town. They should
understand that to double our popula-
ton means to give them larger and
better market. This fact was clearly
demonstrated on last Saturday when
not dozen farmers attended the
meeting called for their special benefit.
There was an unusually large number
of farmers in town, but they appeared
W DC utlSi1y oDAlNAOuo va lhS toSb NAue
they could and should lend hand.
But with all OF these little discour-
agements the gentlemen who have
embarked in this enterprise are just
as determined as ever to go on. To
that end they resolved to meet every
Thursday night until the required
number of shares are secured.
That is the spirit which should ami
mate one who expects to win, and in
this case, as in thousands of others, it
will win. The shares will be taken,
new industries secured, and the old
town will get a move on ITSELF 1t
would, therefore, be well for those
who do not want to be left to join the
procession.

Cotton Letter.

. Cotton Letter, A ..tz4-
 New York, Dec. 2S-The week just ended has been a dull and featureless one in the cotton market, and closing prices today are not materially changed from those of last Saturday. The liquidation of the interest in January cotton yesterday occasioned a spasm of weakness; but notwithstanding rather heavy receipts, the bears were not aggressive, and prioes-soon rebounded. To- day the market showed further evidences of stubborn strength, March opened at 7.93 and closed at 7.96 with the tone very steady. After the close there were some large pri- yate transactions, in March at 7H. The general feeling here is that there is no fur ther occasion for uneasiness on the part of holders of cotton on account of financial trouble or the apprehension of war Wheth- CT cotton is to go up or down in the imme- fdiate future will depend absolutely. upon the receipts for the next few weeks. The vbears claim to have information that the next January movement will exceed 75O, 900 bales. If the receipts day by day should seem to justify such an expectation it will convince the trade that the crop is going to be more than 900 bales, and some fur ther decline may follow, but we believe that the hopes of the bears will be disappointed Our information is that the south has not for many year been so bear of cotton at the end of December as now, and that a strikingly diminished movement is inevita- ble. If we are not wrong, this should give us higher market, but whatever the Jan uary receipts may be, it will not change our opinion that the crop is very short We be- lieve that those who buy March cotton be- low wS cents and hold it will make money
