Grand, to invoke the divine blessing.
Bro. Ed Hingley, District Deputy
Grand Sire, after the opening prayer
read the proclamation of observance of
the anniversary.
MIR. MAGOON'S ADDRESS.
Bro. j. Alfred Magoon, Past Grand,
now delivered the anniversary address,
headed on the program, Remarks on
Oddfellowship." He said in part:
The motto of our order is Friend
ship, Love and Truth am at loss
to understand why the word Friend
ship" was made a part OF this motto,
unless for euphony; tor certainly love
includes friendship. If for euphony, |
freely admit that the words love and
truth do not sound so pleasing to the
ear as friendship, love and truth. But
what words express more than love
and truth? They are the sum and
substance OF everything under the starry
canopy of heaven. The passion of love
controlled by the mind differentiates
man from the beast in his physical
characteristics. The power of reason
by which we are enabled to investigate
and thereby arrive at ultimate truth,
man from the beast in
his intellectual characteristics.
Superstition whose irreconcilable enc
my is knowledge, and every phase OF
which is soon to pass away under the
rays of reason. assisted by
scientific investigation, held full sway
in Hawaii nei until the year 1920.
But though the chiefs have renounc-
ed their ancient idoatry. and the priests
no longer perform their mystic and
bloody rites of the heiau, and though on !
The ruins of their temples affairs are now |
being erected for worship of the living
God, yet the deep impressions made in
childhood by the songs, legends and /.
norrd rites connected with their long
superstitions, and the feel

subsequent life are. not, by the simple
of King or the resigna
Iion of priest, to be removed at once
from the mind of the unenlightcned Ha-
vaian, who in the signing of the

shock, is accustomed to
the dreaded presence of the

concluded by saying that a degree

work done by the Sisters of Rebekah.

STARTLING IS
KEPT OUT
Perkins Points Out
Possible Danger
to Hawaii.

| The little British starting will not be
brought into the islands to combat the
| Japanese beetle and earth worms. Pro-
fessor r. L. c. Perkins, assistant su-
perintendent of entomology, presented
a report on the matter to the Board of
Agriculture yesterday in which he sug-
gested possible dangers, and pointed
out that the introduction of the startling
was prohibited by federal statute.
1t was decided therefore that nothing
further be done in regard to the intro
duetion of the starting. Mr.. Perkins
recommendations on the subject We're

Gentlemen: With regard to the let

that the introduction of this bird into
the United States is absolutely pro-
hibited. The bird in question is some
what allied TO the "minah," but in my
opinion, in this country, II ii should
thrive, would be vastly superior to the
latter, The reason why the starting is
prohibited is clearly because IL is partly
frugivorous, being particularly fond of
cherries and some varieties of pear mot
alligator pears), but the majority of
fruits II leaves alone, As II has the
habit of digging into the soil after cut
worms, etc, MIR, Munro Is perfectly

HE DUST DEVIL.

Colum bus has the Dust Devil
with her always. So pronounced
has become his operations the
past week that it has moved
thousands to com plain and hun
dreds to suggest remedies. The
remedy lies in the action sof the
Council. Columbus has grown
large enough to warrant a,street
sprinkling department, Organ
ized on a business basis and
operated like any other depart
ment of the city government.
This has been the solution of the
problem in other places and the
only solution and it will be the
only solution here.
The present plan of sprinkliug
is a private enterprise but it has
never proved especially remu-
nerative to its owners and they
doubtless would be glad to turn
over their equipment to the city
for a reasonable compensation
and give up their work. Then
the city could augment the
present equipment, increase the
present facilities and under take
sprinklipg upon an efficient and
larger scale. All people use the
streets, vehicles and pedestrians
alike, and citizens and tax payers
generally would cordially endorse
and approve the organization of
such department in the city
government.

Columbus as a Cattle Market.

1t is no Lew thing for strang-
ers to praise Colum bus. but the
visitors who were ia the city
last week in attendance upon the
fair were unusually extravagent
when extolling the merits of our
city and the surrounding terri
tory. Among the horse and
cattle owners herewere men who
have travelled extensively and
who are thoroughly acquainted
with the resources of the differ
ent sections Of the country.
These men all agree that the
territory surrounding Columbus
is as rich and as fertile as is to
be found any where in the coun-
try. One prominent stock man
said
L was born across the water
and have travelled from one end
of America to the other, bu t
never in my life have I seen a
more fertile country than that
which surrounds Colum bus, and
that it is especially adapted to
stock raising is evidenced by the
large numb Der of exhibits in that
department at the fair. You have
on exhibition here some of the
finest hogs that l ever saw in my
life, and / know from personal
experience that cattle raised il
the territory surrounding Colum-
bus have brought fancy prices in
st. Louis and other Western mar
kets during the past few years.
The only trouble here is that too
much attention is paid to cotton.
If less cotton and more cattle
were raised here there would be
more rich farmers than there
are today. You have fine cattle
country here, and its resources
ought to be developed. "
The sentiment expressed in
the above paragraph was endors-
ed by every cattle man present.
and these men, most of whom
have made cattle raising a life
study. all agree that we have d
country especially adapted to
that pursuit and that fortunes
await those who will be first to
enter the field.

l has paid to Mrs. j. M. Dobbs,
of this city. one thousand dollars
life insurance held by her hus-
band in this order. Mr.. Dobbs
died about month ago and the
payment of the policy occurred
within three weeks fl ON the time
of his death. this time being re-
qtired to make the necessary
proof of death. The. prompt
settlement of the local Tent S

to establish it in the confidence
of the people here.

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION.

The DISPATCH wishes to con.
graduate the officers and direct.
Ors of the fair association and all
who worked so well for its sue
cess upon the outcome of their
efforts. The fair was a success
in every particular and the asso-
citation has every reason to felici-
tate itself upon the result. The
exhibits were good, affording an
interesting and instructiY study
of the various resources 8of this
section, the sport was hAlthful
and exhilirating and the 8ttend-
ance was fine.
The outcome Of this th4fourth
fair warrants the belief that the
interest in the association 5 eff
forts is not only sustained but is
increasing. The attendance
here this fall was larger than it
has ever been before and it justi-
fes the belief that if a little
more capital was put into the or
ganization and its plans we're
laid out on more elaborate
scale the fall fair would attract
thousands to this city, and it
would be a successful revenue
producer.
This fact is apparent to every
man. Not a business house in
Columbus has not felt thesstimu-
lus of the recent celebration in
it's business; not a hotel cupboard
ing house here was not taxed
to its capacity. Every visitor left
within his path a gOodly sum of
money and this will remain here.
AS a business venture the re
turn justifies the expense and
work incident to carrying the
undertaking through and the
association should by some
means or another make ample
preparations financially for IN
dertaking the next fair on a
larger and greater scale.
The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1904-10-27

The crowd of strangers in the
city was the largest that has
assem- bled here in many years.
Every hotel and boarding house
in the city was crowded and
several of the leading hostelries
were compelled to turn people
away. Columbus is growing so
rapidly that the number of travel
ing men who come here regularly
is constantly increasing, and with
the large mum Der of visitors that
the fair brought here all the
hotels were taxed to their utmost
capacity.

DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS.

The presidential election is
approaching and as our friends,
the enemy. have frequently used
Mississippi's light vote as cam
paign thunder in support OF
their claim for reduction Of
Southern representation in Con
gress, it is desired that the State
should poll big vote in the ap-
preaching election.
In this connection it is well for
all democrats to familiarize them
selves with the democratic cleo
tors which they are expected to
vote for There are four sets Of
electors on the blanket ticket and
the democratic ten are the first
ten on the ticket. They are E.

The Constitu tional amendment
to be voted on is a simple one and
is for the purpose of striking
from the Constitution of the State
that section whichs requires the
legislature to provide for the
enumeration Of the inhabitants
and qualified electors of the State
every ten years after the LIST
Monday in June 1895. The next
State enumeration, if this amend
ment is defeated, will occur next
year and inasmuch as the Federal
government provides for the cen
sus every ten years a State
enumeration is expensive and
unnecessary.

My wife has been a great suffer
