 Odd Fellows Celebrate.
 What is said to have been the largest turnout of local odd Fellows that ever took place In Selma occurred yesterday when Central lodge and McAuley lodge of that order attended Church Street Methodist church in d body. There were 175 Odd Fellows in line and the center section of the church was re- served for them. Dr. Andrews, the pas tor. preached a magnificent sermon, es- pecially for the occasion, taking his text from I Corinthians xiii:1S, And now abideth faith, hope love. these three; put the greatest of these is love"
 The preacher spoke eloquently on the three subjects and gave as an evidence or love that is to be found in the world, the treatment accorded the little orphans rom Summerfield who were in Selma Saturday. He pointed out that 1t was love that made one of the sweetest women of the city to take these fatherless and motherless ones to the biggest hotel of the city and seats ing them at the tables in the dining room give them a feast of good things. Like made a merchant appease their thirst with refreshing soda water, and it was love that impelled a public spirit citizen to tender them delightful trolley ride around the city.
 The occasion was the S7th anniversary of the establishment of the order and the Selma Odd Fellows are proud of the large attendance of the members.
