'1HE ODD FELLOWS
WILL BUILD Home
odd Fellows Are Getting Ready, On
Fine Big Farm AT Elkins,
This State.
Committee IS APPOINTED.
They are Going About This Great
Undertaking In Very Practical
Way and WIN Get legislation

These Odd Fellows are practical
people. They dispense great deal
of money every year in the charities
Of their order. and really prevent a
great deal Of suffering and distress
among their members; for as a rule
these members are largely composed
Of the working classes who haven't
much provision ahead for the rainy
day. that sometimes comes when
they can't work. Then the order
steps in and see that they and theirs
don't suffer while the head OF the
house is unable TO follow his usual
avocation TO make living for his
family. They are also modest
kind Of folk. and don't tell every
body Just what they are doing. but
sometimes their work leaks out and
then it is generally found that it Is
Just the kind of thing that they have
a right to feel rather proud OF.
A case in point is their recent ac-
ton at the Charles Town session Of
the Grand Lodge to establish a,
Home. for their aged members and
their wives, and the orphans OF de-
ceased members. They are not say
ing much about It to any one outside
Of their own ranks, but 1t is going to
be the first and the finest Institution
Of the kind in West Virginia. otheE
orders have been talking for years
about the Homes" they are going TO
build, but Odd Fellowship simply
raised the money and will start to
build just as SOON as the legislature
win permit their grand lodge 70 own
sufficient land for It's purposes and
they don't expect to have much trou-
BILE in getting legislative permission,
as they have appointed a committee
composed of Hon. Sep. Hall. Hon.
Geo. C. sturgiss ana Attorney Cen
eral Clarke W. May, all prominent
members of the order. to prepare the
necessary legislation and present e.
which will enable them to carry out
this great benevolent work
The order has fine farm near Eli
hns, comprising one hundred acres.
valued at ten thousand dollars, on
which they propose to construct the
Home" Just as soon as the law
allows the Grand Lodge to take title
to this property. the ground VIII be
broken for foundation Of magni6-
cent building that VIII comfortably
accommodate from two hundred to
three hundred inmates.
OF course the bulk of the inmates
will be orphans Of Odd Fellows who
will receive IN the Home" all the
care and attention that could be giy7
en- them in the best homes 0fs the
land. and adequate provision will be
made for their education to enable
them to become useful citizens. It
win not be charitable Institution,
but home in every sense Of the word,
in which every odd Fellows orphan
viii enter and receive support ana
education as matter Of right
Manay such Homes" exist in other
States. but the idea is a new one IN
West Virginia.
