Delegates to Annual Assembly Will Be
Guests at Monster Feast
at Turnverein Hall
Tonight

The Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and their
friends are looking forward with much
pleasure to the general reception to be
given to the state grand officers, dele

of Odd Fellows tonight at Turn We
rein hall, 321 South Main street.

tling, will be one of the leading features

Owing to the Southern Pacific wreck
the trains from the north bringing the
Odd Fellows, which were expected last
night, did not arrive until early this
morning. This may interfere with the

ness for the reception tonight. :
