the order is growing. They have
an orphauage at Goldsboro in

have under construction at thu Or
phanage a building that will cost
$25, 900 and when this Is complet-
ed they will have. Mr.. Woodell
says, a plant second to none in the
state. In addition to the orphan
age the Odd Fellows also maintain

pie. At present there are only
two inmates in this home. It is
established for the care of aged
Odd Fellows who have no home
and are unable to support them
selves, and for the widows of Odd
Fellows who are LETT homeless {.
These institutions are supported
by per capita tax of 80 cents a
year paid by the different lodges
of the state. So far this small
tax has been ample for the sup
port of these institutions.
