FAIR TAKES A LIVELY TURN.
Crowds of Visitors In the Hall and
supper Room.


The Odd Fellows bazaar had a good at
tendance last night and the lady workers
are very much encouraged. There was a
considerable improvement in the receipts
Of the various booths.
Oglethorpe Lodge No. 1, the Oldest Odd
Fellow lodge in Georgia, reached the hall
about O'Clock, and after enjoying supper
in the supper room, were marched to the
bazaar hall and spent their pocket change
very literally.
DeKalb Lodge No. 9, also attended with
a fair crowd and took supper. The lodge
| has no pecuniary interest in the bazar, as
1t is not part of the Odd Fellows Hall
Association. 1t controls Metropolitan hall
and has recently fitted up the second floor
of that building for a lodge room, and are
now holding their meetings there. The
members, though, have given a helping
hand to their brethren in making the ba-
Ear financial success.
The event of the evening was the visit
of Savannah Lodge of the Benevolent Or
der of Elks. Fhe visit of the Elks was
looked forward to by the ladies with pleas
urable anticipation as a great many eX-
pected that they would have their horns
with them. Instead, however, they brought
well-filled pocketbooks and spent their
long green very freely. The Elks are
jolly crowd and know we'll how to en-
Joy themselves. Their visit was highly
apprecia ted by the ladies.
Tonight the Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
under command of Capt. L. H. McLaws,
will take supper and assist in enlivening
the bazaar with their presence. Several
other of the military companies have had
under consideration a visit TO the bazaar,
but as yet have not arrived at any con-

so many young men are at this season
of the year kept at their Offices until a
late hour it is a difficult manner to get
a sufficient number of make a credtabla
showing. The ladies in charge of the sup
per rooms say, however, that they are
perfectly willing to wait until midnight

and all that is lacking TO make the bazaar
a big success is plenty of buyers.
