lantie. This climate shows that the
fig, which can endure cold of three
days of zero, and the olive, that is
only killed when cold of IL degrees
Fab. remains for like period, can be
cultivated in this region. Indeed, so
mild are the winters here, that near
the Gulf coast are growing some OF
the oldest orange trees in Florida,
which yearly perfect their crops OF
fruit. Il the winters are warm, the
summer heats are never oppressive,
but are tempered by the breezes pass
ing between the mountains and Gulf,
and by the northernmost trade winds
of the Atlantic. The farmers on the
Gulf coast report that but once in a
period of thirty years has there been
sufficient cold to kill the oats sown in
November. Frosts are less severe
here in January than in Ohio in No
vember or April. In fact, no winter
has been known since the first settle
ment of this region, nor even week
experienced, in which the winter rye
and perennial grasses did not grow,
or cattle and sheep could not find
sustenance from pastures OF Bermuda
grass.

There is now in session in Mexico
a special meeting of the I. o. 0. F.
lodgessof Central Missouri. The vis-

here the guests of Mexico Lodge, No.

The following invitation was sent
out to large number of Odd Fellows
throughout the State:
Mexico Lodge, No. 80, 1. o. o.
F., respectfully invites you, as a
lodge or individually, to be pres
ent at our special meeting, to be
held Dec. 16, 1897. On this occas-
ion we will confer the different
degrees on some 80 new members.
The Trenton team, the best in the
State, consisting OF 80 members,
will be present to exemplify the
work. The Grand Master of the
State will also be with us.
THE COMMITTEES.
The following named gentlemen,
composing the different committees,
looked after the details of the affair in
the closest manner and to them, with

THE NATIONAL ORDER,

Odd Fellowship was originated in
Manchester, England, in 1912. The
Order in the United States, which diff
fers widely from that in England and
has no connection with it, owes its
beginning to the efforts of Thomas
wildey, who had been connected with
similar associations in England. In
1870 he instituted the Washington
Lodge No. 1, and received a charter
therefor from York Lodge, Preston.
England; but in 1926 another charter
was obtained, granting to the Grand
Lodge of the United States sole juris-
diction over the order In this country
The original objects of the ordes
were the relief Of the brethren, inter-
ment OF the dead and care for the
widows and orphans, but gradually
there became infused into its lectures
and charges much unsectarian reiig'

and will also represent Missouri on
the programme by reading a paper

This association is composed OF
the editors who live west of the Mis-

South will be we'll represented at this
meeting. Mitchell White, managing
editor of the Whizzer, is looking after
me. We could not prevail on Mrs.
White to leave st. Louis. st. Louis Is
unusually lively this year and Christ
mas seems to be coming very early.
Every day is "bargain day" now, you
know.
After our business session in New
Orleans, we expect to visit the jetties
and other points of interest in the
South. The weather is delightful
here this season of the year, especially
on the west coast of Florida.
This region lies south of the great
Appalachian chain of mountains,
which north of here have trended
from their general course, northeast
and southwest, to the west, and COM
pletely obstruct the northern wind
currents of winter. The winter cli-
mate is warmer than is found on the
same parallel further west. During
the cold winter of 1884 at Pensacola
on the 9th of January, at 3 O'Clock
q. M, the eself-registering thermome-
ter marked 16 degrees Fab; but at
O'Clock the cold had moderated, and
before noon the mercury had riser
into the forties. On July 20, 1884, the
highest temperature was 81 degrees
Fah.-a temperature seldom reached
and the average for the year wat
only 6T.s degrees Fab. The whole
region lies south of the thirty first
parallel and in the northern belt oi

PENSACOLA. Fla.

This beautiful city is one of the gulf
ports of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, is situated on Pensacola Bay
and has been called the "Naples of
America" The climate Is delightful,
the temperature is about the same as
that OF Southern Italy, though much
dryer. Situated on a good elevation
on a land-locked bay, thirty miles
long by three and one half miles wide,
she possesses many advantages. The
harbor offers unusual facilities for
boating and sailing, and those who
have never enjoyed days sail on the
beautiful blue water of the Gulf of
Mexico have a pleasure yet in store
for them. Across the bay is FortBar-
rancas, Fort Pickens, Fort MeRae and
the Navy Yard, and floating on the
bosom Of the land-locked harbor win
be found vessels from every port.
The buildings in the upper part of
the city speak plainly of the activity
and wealth of her business population,
and the improvements in the city
speak plainly of it's growth. The live-
oak, magnolia, and endless flowers,
give to this city-on-the- gulf an ap-
pearance that is in great contrast with
those of northern latitudes.
Here the angler and the sportsman
will find material for constant en-
ployment, and for excellence and va
riety no region can compare with the
