Odd Fellows Celebration.

The first annual reunion of the Tri-
State League of the Independent Or.
der of Odd Fellows was held in Shep-
herdstown last Thursday, and though
the occasion was marred by the
showers that fell at intervals during
the day, the affair was very enjoy
able one nevertheless. 1t was i'm
possible to have the reunion at Nor
CANS Grove, because of the rain, but
the town hall was thrown open to
the visitors and the speeches were de-
livered in the college auditorium.
A large number of Odd Fellows and
other visitors from this and adjoining
States were present. A parade OF
the principal streets was held after
dinner, and the exercises were then
continued in the auditorium.
D. S. Rentch, Esq, of Shepherds
town, Past Grand Master OF West
Virginia, and an Odd Fellow for fifty
years, presided and introduced the
speakers. Those who addressed the
meeting were Grand Master S. P.
Bell, OF West Virginia Hon. George
9. Sturgiss, Past Grand Master Of
West Virginia Hon. Hill Montague,
Past Grand Master of Virginia and
Hon. John B. Goodwin, Sovereign
Grand Secretary of the United States.
Each of these gentlemen made most
interesting addresses, touching on
various features of Odd Fellowship,
AMI their speeches were enjoyed by
large audience. Grand Master G.
F. Hetzel, of Maryland, and other
distinguished Odd Fellows were pres
ent.
Many of the business houses and
private dwellings in Shepherdstown
were nicely decorated with flags and
bunting in honor of the celebration.
The reunion was regarded as q
great success, in spite Of the rain, and
it was determined to make it a year.

Serious Accident at Kearneysville.

William Spence, young man en-
ployed in the stone quarries at Kear-
neysville, met with a very serious
accident yesterday at noon. In some
way he was knocked down by truck
loaded with stone and the Car passed
over him, inhlcting dangerous injur-
les. One of his ankles was crushed,
the other badly hurt, and the wheels
also passed over one OF his arms. In
addition. it is feared that he received
internal injuries. Train No. 6 of the
B. & o. Railroad was stopped at
Kearneysville, and the unfortunate
young man was hurried to hospital
In Baltimore for surgical treatment.
Marshall Licklider, of Kearneysville,
accompanied him. DR.. G. G. Lucas
gave him attention before he was sent
away. Mr.. Spence is native OF
Shepherdstown and is nephew Of

A Straight
Talk on Paint.

To Put off painting is wastefnl
negligence.
To use poor PAINTS false eeOnOmy.
Good paint used when needed is
a profitable fnVeSfment-not an ex-
pense.
No argument needed on these
points, no investigation-but the
selection of a good paint is prob
lem, and a hard one, too.
Why? Because there is so much
fraud in the paint business. It's
so easy to fool the people on paint.

their order. They got their money and
left the department without uttering
