Major John MertZ, of Salisbury, has
lust celebrated his Goth birthday
His weight is 48 pounds and he is a.
popular as he is distinguished on
account of his size. His wife, Mrs
Mertz is slightly smaller than her
husband and the two have made
their home in Salisbury for a mum.
Der of years, Major Mertz is native
of Hungarfa.
Some of us, who have seen the
Major preserving order in a Dokey
meeting are not sure as to his light
weight That baton of his weighs
another 48 pounds, and the Two of
them are guarantees of the very
best behavior. Carolina Pythian.
An interesting district meeting
was held in High Point April q.
G. C. Pridgen, 6. V. c. Baird, state
deputy Wilson and others. were
present. A very enjoyable time
was had. Brother Baird made a
most excellent address. Other
speakers also did we'll.
The X. of P. home at Clayton is
doing a great work under the mana
cement of Bro. Pender and his wife.
Our children are cOntented.
ODD FELLOWSHIP.
Fraternity is the first great prin-
ciple of Odd Fellowship. Every
member in good standing is broth
er, and the institution, taken as
whole, is great brotherhood. 1t is
universal fraternity in the family
of man. Odd fellowship is society
where the members havt a common
interest and are bound together by
strong and endearing ties. The
fraternity of Odd Fellowship looks
upon the entire habitable earth as
a great field of labor and the whole
family of man becomes her bene-
ficiaries. For the nations of earth
are all one great nation; the families
of earth are all one great family;
the individuals are but one; units
of one great race, and, indeed, the
language of earth is one great uni
versal language, divided up into
various dialects.
The local lodge of Odd Fellows is
growing rapidly and is one of the
strongest fraternal societies in the
city.
No Odd Fellows lodge ought to
make of itself a whining beggary,
exploiting its poverty as an asset
A lodge that is not taken care of
financially, under it's normal con-
ditions, by it's own membership
ought to 90 out of the Odd Fellow
business.
The Odd Fellows orphanage at
Goldsboro, NC, contains 1877 chill
dren, ninety-six boys and ninety-one
girls. The incoming Grand Master
Of the state is one of the graduates
of the home. Another graduate is a
state senator, and still another a
prominent clergyman. Evidently
the training is one calculated to be
of splendid assist ance to the children
who are the wards in that state.
MASONIC.
The length of your cable tow in
old Scottish work was: For E A.,
two miles by day and one by night;
F. c., three miles by day and one
by night; M. NJ, five miles by day
and three by night.
During 1918, the Craft in Eng
land contributed 25367O to the
Institution for Boys, $50 633 to the
girls, and 945,879 to the Benevolent
Institution. During the past twenty
years, Grand Lodge dispensed
92,151,848 in charity.
The true Mason should not judge
trashy or hastily; he knows that
often what may appear to the eye as
a scar is bnt wound won on some
hard fought battlefield, where honor,
justice and truth triumphed. No
one can have a right to think meanly
of his race without thinking meanly
o, himself:
LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE,
Director General James J. Davis
has just returned from tour around
the world.
There are two ways to have hap
piness; one is to have what you
want and the other is to want what
you have.
Things move along so rapidly
nowadays that people who say III
