There were four tables that extended
| the full length Of the long hall, and one
across at tho end on an elevated stage,
at which must have been seated 250 or
| 200 persons. The tables were most
| beautifully decorated with ilowcrs,
| cakes, fruits, salads and beautiful china
| and silvcrwarc to match. We had
hoped to DC able to publish the full bill
| OF fare, or menu, but have been unable
| to secure il, and our memory fails us in
an attempt to mention everything
| Suffice it to say. however, that nothing
| was lacking to make the supper Il per-
| feet one and served in Il manner most
| excellent, but this is Il useless state

| that Otto Klcttnrr was in charge Of The
| affair, in behalf Of Pulaski Lodge; he
knows nothing but success and excel

After all had been seated Mr.. Olto
| welcomed the Grand Lodge and their
friends, in behalf Of Pulaski Lodge, and
requested Rev. Armstrong to ask the
blessing.
After all had enjoyed themselves for
| nearly two hours Ecrtuking Of the many
good things served, the Grand Master
Of Pulaski Lodge, Mr. NJ Davis, arose
and called on the following persons
who responded and gave most delight
ful talks on the objects and aims of the
Odd Fellows: Worthy Grand Master

The visitors were very compliment

phasizcd the fact that their visit to
Ncwbcrry, and their meeting with pu-
laski Lodge, would ever be II pleasant

Just as the audience was about to be
dismissed Mr.. Otto Klcttncr arose and
in most feeling manner addressed the
Worthy Noble Grand, Edward Bacon,

high esteem in which he was held by
the entire membership of the order in
South Carolina, and most especially by
the members Of Pulaski Lodge, to
which he had given SO much valuable
assistance, as Il recognition OF which
tho ladies, whose relatives and friends
are connected with Pulaski Lodge, and
in whose behalf he spoke, desired to
express in some feeble manner their
appreciation for such services, at the
same time presenting him with bcm
tiful gold headed cane. Mr.. Bacon
toucted beyond expression. He sa
almost in an inaudiblc tone that he |
never heen SO deeply touched in hi
life before, as he had during the day in
the Grand Lodge, when presented with
so kindly and apprcciable token from
the Rebcccas of Rock dill. land now
this-it goes down into the deepest
chambers of my soul, and words cannot
be found TO express my feelings. His
remarks in Acknowledgements were very
feelingly expressed.
The audience was then dismissed
with the benediction by Rev. w. S. b.
Ford, and the Grand Lodge went into
secret session at Masonic Hall.
