condition. The membership is growing
and the finances are in good shape.
The feature of the days proceedings
was a movement started late in the after
noon session for the purchase of one
or two COWS for the Alabama Odd Eel
lows home at Cullman.
Last Monday the Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs visited the home on the occasion
of the formal dedication. The need of
fresh milk and butter impressed these
good women and they came to the gen
eral assembly with full determination
to supply the need.
They went after the matter vigorously
and in very short time 1t was manifest
that the two cows, instead of one, would
be furnished the home.
One will be purchased by the assembly
and the other by the representatives
through personal subscription.
The Rebekahs are enthusiastic over the
promised success of this enterprise and
will not stop until their good purpose is
accomplished
