d FELLOWS ORPHAN HOME.
The Odd Fellows Orphan home was
opened in 1892 by the Independent Or
DER OF Odd Fellows Of the sta :. 1t is
iocated at GoldsborO, and :las about
twenty acres of ground, upon which, are
buildings costing about SIS, zoe. The
nome is in charge of Superintendent T..
F. Crimson.
1t is supported wholly by the Odd Eel
lows Of the state, and only children Of
ODD Fellows are cared for. The man.
agement does not solicit any outside
contribution whatever. The maintain
ing funds are derived from a small as
seSSment upon every Odd Fe. low i'm
North Carolina, and the institution is
an honor to the order. The entire value
OF the property is estimated at $2s, 900.
There are now about fifty boys and
girls in the home. under the watchful
eye of Superintendent Brinson. These
pupils attend the Goldsboro graded
schools by special arrangement. AT the
home they are taught farming. music
and general homework. There is never
any sickness of any consequence among
the children, and Their has been only
one death since the institution opened,
and in that case the child was pros
trated with pneumonia when it arrived
at the home. There has not been a sim
Gle death from illness contracted at the
place.
The moral tone at this institution is
splendid. AT a recent revival meeting
thirty-one out of the fifty pupils jolned
the church.
At the last meeting of the Grand
Lodge Of Odd Fellows it was decided to
open very soon a home for the care OF
aged and infirm Odd Fellows and their
wives. and now each year a certain sum
is set apart for this purpose. and it l..
expected that work on the buildings
will be commenced within two years
