Dunlap Lodge and 9th
er Lodges.

DUNLAP, Tenn, April 26. The
celebration of the SSth anniversary of
the |. o. O. F. here today was sue
cess, about 1900 people being in town
and attending the exercises, which
were held in the court house yard.
The morning train from the upper
valley brought the Pikeville lodge,
Bledsoe Lodge, No. 90, and on the ar
rival of Jasper Lodge, No. 4s0, on the
local at 1910 a. M, procession was
formed with Dunlap Lodge No. 336 as
escort and the visitors taken to the
lodge room in the Hilliard Building.
After a short stay there the lodges pro-
ceeded to the court house yard where
the exercises were conducted under
charge of w. B. Stewart. Prayer was
offered by Rey. J. L. Scott, of Whit
well, and hymn sung under the lead
of DIR. J. M. Grove, of Pikeville. L.
L. Morrison, was then introduced to
make the address of welcome, but after
expressing his pleasure at the arrival
of the visitors, turned to Chairman
Stewart to still further express the fe-
licitations customary.
j. II. Barnett, of Bledsoe Lodge was
then introduced to respond to the ad-
dress of welcome. J. l. Scott, OF
Whitwell, then followed with neat
address, expressing in clear words the
ideals of Odd Fellowship.
Rev. J. M. Grove, of Pikeville, was
then presented, who made the princi-
pal address of the day. DR.. Grove,
who is an elderly man of portly build,
made fine address. He is fairly scin-

Odd Fellowship in its meaning to~the
members of the order, and stoutly de-
Tended it against the sneers of its ene-
mics Many expressions of pleasure
were heard about his address, which
was delivered at disadvantage, as
Dr. Grove had just returned from an
extended lecturing tour in Texas and
complained of hoarseness. At the
conclusion of Dr. Crowes address,

 It was only for one brief fraction of time, one half anguished moment, during which the man, his stern self control shaken. had gathered her close. Then Margaret broke from him.

Great drops battered on the pine boughs. But Mar garet, her eyes wet with happy tears, was not conscious of the pelting rain. For In that second when lake and woods had stood distinct and clear, silhoutted against that unearthly bril- liance, in that instant of vision had been revealed the picture of a man and maid, a picture old when Time was young-Billy Morris kissing Belen.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 10--There was a demor- alized tone in the short session of the stock market today as a wind up of week of disorder In the last five minutes of recklessness to reap the rich profits accru- ed from the extensive fall in prices. With that exception there was no effective buy ing at any time and prices crumbled sway almost uninterrupted by flood of sales in all varieties of sizes.
 The Pacific stocks and coppers showed the most acute weakness. Union Pacific fell 5s. representing the maximum decline in the active list but the Hill stocks and Southern Pacific. Reading and American smelting were affected in less degree with losses running to four points or over.
 The whole market turned on the govern mental and public attitude toward corpora tions The statements published thls morn ing coming from Attorney General Bo- naparte after his interview yesterday with the President were the central factors In the new anxiety professed by holders of se- curities. The notice thus served on the cor porations that they might look for the pur- suit of prosecution to the possible limit TOT all discoversble offences under the law caps- ed something like consternation In the speculative sentiment in the market The contents of an interview with John D, Rockefeller also published this morning was regarded as reflecting so serious view of the situation that 1t but added fuel 70 the flames The weakness in the foreign markets helped the decline. British con- sois going to new low record.
 Rumors circulated here without veriica tion> of undisclosed money difficulties Tn London and Berlin and the violence of the decline here gave rise to uneasiness over the consequences to the low position. The bank statement although it revealed nom. inal increase in the surplus reserve failed to check the decline and in fact aggravat- ed it. While the weeks drastic liquidation of securities was reflected In loan eon, traction of 16.4s7.000 1t was believed that the syndicate buyings of the latter part Of the week not reflected ip this snow ing However requirements of the same sort are to be met next week.
 The loss of s1.E0o. 900 showed an unex- pIained drain on reserve resources whicn aroused fears of further drastic forced liq- uidation.
 The closing tone was feverish and unset tied and at only small recoveries from the lowest prices in any case. Total sales of bonds par value, $6ss.000. United States zs have declined k on call during the week.

 Futures opened from three to four points higher than at the close of yesterday and developed some rather free selling during the early session by those who did not care to carry over Sunday bringing about a slight recession in values. At 10 o'clock the market was still further depressed by the action of the telegraph operators in walking out, cutting off communication with many cities and 'confining the transactions almost to room traders alone At the close, which was steady, the active months ranged from seven to elght points below the close of yes- terday.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York. Aug. 1o.--The cotton market opened steady at decline of four points to an advance of five points. the near posi- tions being lower under liquidation. while later positions reflected steady cables and continued dry weather in the Western belt. Trading was quiet and after working up to d net advance of five to six points on the active new crop months, prices ruled rather irregular but held slightly over the clos ing figures of yesterday. The weekend figures were about as expected and there seemed little prospect of any change in the western belt weather conditions over Sunday.
 Receipts at the ports today 1.5s3 bales. against BIO last week and 3.s03 last year. For the week (estimated) 10000 bales, against 7.44o last week and ai.s13 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans 1is bales against 9s last year and at Houston 67s bales, compared with 3.si7 last year.

 Co.,. 32 Commerce St.
 New Dreams, Aug. 10.-The tendency of the crop to deteriorate a result of the continuation of dry. hot weather in the Southwest, particularly in Texas, where the temperature for the past nineteen days averaged maximum of from o6 to es de- grees. except one day when 1t figured 94. many stations reporting the mercury to be we'll above 100. has been reflected in an advance during the week of about 50 points October having sold at IF 69 today, which is within two points of the highest of the season and compares with 1929 at the close of last Saturday.
 The official weather forecast for today and Sunday is for fair weather. but as cool weather is noted in the far Northwest and the mercury in Arkansas and Texas to be at almost blood-heat, the average max imum temperatures for the district of Little Rock. being 1o2 degrees. showers, perhaps rain. while not probable for the Southwest are not impossible, especially If disturb ance of a cyc1onic nature. which usual ly the off-spring of conditions now existing. should develop, and they usually make their appearance when least expected. To trust to the weather over a period of 36 hours, particularly with the market being sustain ed principally by dry weather is more than a speculative risk. and 1t is for this reason that prices ruled easier during the last hour of the session. We have by wire at this writing that while the weather re- mains clear and hot at San Antonio. show CTS are predicted for that section where  rain Is badly needed.
 The strike of the telegraph operators, which is spredaing over the whole country. New Orleans having been affected today, was looked upon unfavorable market feature by reason of the strike restricting business and thereby depriving the market of outside support. Anything that will tend to restrict speculation is against the ad- vancement of any commodity. be, 1t of the farm. real estate or of the security markets. Were it not for the enactinE of drastic an ti-option laws in the Southern States. In Georgia. and Texas particularly, it is prob able that cotton woulH now be at higher level However. should the unexpected hap pen by rains occurring over Sunday. we 1 would have those of our friends to take ad- vantage of any important decline that might be brought about by buying futures, There is an urgent demand for new crop l cotton and the prices that are being paid | for same 13%c. basis middling, at Calves | ton and Houston. shows that the local quo 1 tation l3Mc is practically nominal. there | being no new cotton with which September | and October contracts will have to be liq- l uidated in this market yet on which tC l make official quotations
