Rev. John Edwards, of Pikesvillc
this State, writes the following accurate
sketch of the life of the late Harry
Odgers, of this place, and a very just
tribute to his character:
The late Harry Odgers was born in
Cannon's Town, Cornwall England, in the
fall of 1913 and was the eldest son of Will
liam and Grace Odgers. In the spring OF
1866 he came to this country and lived i'll
Beaver Meadow, Carbon county, Pa, until
February, 1868, and soon. after a short so
journ i'll Iowa, with few of his Cornish
friends he chose to settle in FroStburg, Md.
Early in the spring of 1869 he married
Miss NJ. J. Edwards, the only sister of the
late Rev. =. G.. Edwards and the surviving
Rev. John Edwards, of the Baltimore
Annual Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Mr. OdgerS parents were members of the
Wesleyan Methodist church. His mother is
yet alive at SO years of age and lives in Eng
land He is survived also by his wife, five
sons and two daughters-.John, Walter f.,
William H., Charles T., of Frostburg, and
Prof Harry f., of Wheeling, w. Va, and
Misses Stella Il. and Flora f., living with
their mother.
Mr.. Odgers did not connect himself with
any church until recently. when he united
with the Methodist Episcopal church in
FrOStburg. In his public and private de
pertinent he was worthy of commentator.
For many years he regularly attended as an
attentive hearer of the Word He was a
lover of the Bible, and was often found
reading it. Naturally he was reserved and
OF few words; man, however, of good
judgment, lover of the moral law and eX-
pected his household to kept. lie was an
industrious, careful, loving father thought
full and kind husband, a consistent and
worthy citizen of his adopted country. In
politics he was republican from conviction
believing that he found more and better de
mOCracy there than in any other party.
He was not a partisan, yet not ''on the
fence but was an independent and loyal
citizen.
His close attention to his business brought
him miners asthma and spee,lier
demise.

The address of Hon. P. J. McCumber
at the Atheneum was one of the most
scholarly, convincing and forcible
talks the people of Bismarck have
heard for many, years. His arraign-
ment of the democratic party and his
review of the achievements OF the re-
publican contrasted these organiza-
lions to the great disadvantage Of the
former and his appeal. to the young
men-the first voters-to start right,
to align themselves with the party of
progress rather than the organization
of theorists and obstructionists, met
with warm response from the scores
Of young men who listened to the
words OF. wisdom from North Dako-
ta's junior senator. The speaker also
very clearly, very plainly and very
emphatically urged party loyalty.
Only by Organization can a party sue
coed and organization must begin and
be observed down to the smallest
units-the district and county. He
pointed out the danger of limiting
ticket simply because Of personal or
factional prejudices. The will Of the
majority should be observed should
be binding on conventions and on dele
gates who compose them. The bene-
ficiary of favors and of position
through the republican organization
in the hands of the national or state
administration should appreciate the
source Of his prefernent should be
loyal to the republican party. Never
has there been heard from the lips
Of distinguished man q more urgent
appeal to party loyalty, q more empha-
tic Remuneration OF party treachery
than was contained in the remarks Of
Senator McCumber. s3 IL I. I z,%.5=
