Rev. Fred Harris was then in.
troauced and delivered a short, eloquen'
and very interesting address. He was
at one time Pastor of the NJ. E. church
in this city, and q member of the lodge
here, and holds very warm corner in
hearts Of our people, especially so with
the Odd fellows and Rebekah's. His
address was instructive, intersrersfd
with wit and humor, and was re-
cieved with hearty demonstrate ns D:
satisfaction by all present.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Rev. w. i. Doughlas, of the M f
church, was called for, and responded
in short. sharp. witty, and eloqnen-
address. His anecdoies we're pointed
and his wit, bright, and cut like two
edged Damascus sword, and WAS hear
tily cheered. He demonstrated tina,
although but an humble Methods
minister, he can take care of himself
and is not to be grinned at by those who
have no teeth.
AT the conclusion of his remaks, d
M. Harris was called for, but owing to
the lateness of the hour he declined,
and having learned that the Rebekah's
had been waiting some time with q
prepared supper in the banquet room,
he suggested the propriety of adjourn
ing at once, and repair to the hall.
1t is hardly necessary to say, that
on entering the banquet hall we found
three long tables, grooming under the
weight of good thing prepared by the
ladies for the occasion. Bro. Douglas
asked Gods blessing upon the spread,
and the "real work" of the evening
commenced.
4 Supper disposed of to the entire sa-
tisfaction of all. and then return to
the lodge room where social visiting
was the order, but some began to think
preachers ought to adjourn, and when
they did so, some Bro: called out: "Se-
lect your partners" and then the fun
commenced. We must not forget to
state that Past Grand G. w. Burbank
handled the bow. that was causing all
this com motion, and it is also true
that his entire family are musicians,
and social function in this city with
out Burbank, would be like q bell
without clapper. If George can't find
fun, you need not look for it.
Along about IL o'clock asked lady
If she didn't think it time to adjourn,
and she said: II don't know, l am 60.
ing to stay until the last dog is hung"
We didn't stay to the hanging.
Sunday morning we failed to get up
with the sun, for on awaking the God
Of day was sending his bright rays in
to our room, which brought to our
mind the reply of the young man who
was told that his fast living would
shorten his days. "Yes, father, but it
will lengthen my nights"
\ About 600 attended the meeting and
all pronounced it g grand success.

on his way to Logan. His arm that
