Back OF Whipple's drug store was
the unofficial clubroom of the gayer
youth of Jonesville. who demanded
something less sordid than the two
grim saloons or the tavern barroom.
To the drug store Broadway retreated.
He found it more than usually ami
mated. While he had been in the Sc
clusion OF Judge Spotswood's study
one of the rare, dramatic episodes
which Jonesville ever knew had come
to pass-being imported from the out
er world, of course. A touring car
had taken at too high speed .

town authorities for the purpose OF re-
tarding motorists who endeavored to
escape from deputy sheriffs. The re-
suit had been that the cars occupants
had left it without intention, gone up
ward, cleaving the night air to heights.
and, coming down, had found them
selves almost simultaneously in a mud
hole and deputy's custody.
Having paid their fines for speeding
and rescued their somewhat battered
motor, they now we're being bandaged
1t was characteristic of the general
state OF Jonesville's mind that the Wis
itors had first been fined: repairs for
their bruised heads being looked at as
Q secondary matter,
The unfortunates numbered two, and
they had told the fining and exultant
Judge OF the peace that they were son
and father. giving their names as
Grover and Robert Wallace. Robert
Wallace was of not much more than
Jacksons age.
The drug store crowd was listening
with huge delight to their subdued ex-
pressions of wrath. But with Broad
ways entrance the younger of the vic
Tins recognized a member OF his own
indefinable fraternity. Within two min
utes the young men were 'old chap"
to each other. which is q congenial
sign.
"How's your machine" asked Broad

No such service proved to be neces-
sary. In fact the strangers car was
in such Unexpectedly good condition
that it's owners insisted upon taking
Broadway with them to his gateway.
They reached it simultaneously with
Clara Spotswood and Josie Richards,
who were now engaged in that inef-

TO HONOR THE GRAY

We have in New Iberia and vi
cinity something like forty old
Confederate soldiers most of them
having but a few years left of
their span Of life.
With few exceptions these
veterans of the Southern post, are
in the quiet walks of life AMI their
spheres, humble though they may
have been, yet actuated by their
love for their Southland, are IN
snng and unhonored.
Nevertheless, they feel, what
some Of us have forgotten, that
they form q part of the old days
in the history Of the South. and
while they are recognized in other
parts Of our country as being
worthy of honor, we of New Iberia
have done little to bring them be
fore the public in manner to
which their post entities them.
It has been suggested that
something should be done to gi, Q
pleasure to the little band who
once wore the Southern grey; and
for this purpose . meeting will be
called to formulate plans for q
banquet and q celebration Of some
nature, which will do these old
soldiers honor and serve to prove
to our present generation, that al
though the 'sstars and stripes"
are the symbols of our highest pa.
trlotism We are still not unappre
ciative Of the gallant deeds of the
Civil War.
1t is hoped that not only the
SONS and daughters, the grandsons
and granddaughters of the Con
'fedetacy, but the public 10 general

call and attend the meeting which
will be held ~ the store Of Mr.. E.

ODD FELLOWSHIP.

The Independent Order of odd
Fellows OF the United States of
America celebrated the 95th ann
versary OF the order in America
Oh last Monday. p. NJ. Dickinson
Lodge No 66, of this city, held a
special meeting, concluding with
a banquet. DIR. +. S. Fulton and
DR.. j. b. Hull were the principal
orators Of the occasion, while
many Of the brothers contributed
their quota rejecting the frater-
nal spirit mingled with dashes of
humOr.
Odd Fellowship had It's birth
in England. The institution was
originated in Manchester in 1912,
although isolated lodges had ex-
listed in various parts of the conn
try for some time previously. In
the early days of the history Of
the order an English writer gave
the following description of the
characteristic features of an Odd
Fellow: "Like a fox for cunning,
a dove for tameness, lamb for
innocence. a lion for bOldness, a
bee for industry, and sheep for
usefulness"
In this country, America, the
''lndepeDdent' order found lGs
birth some seven years later aud
it's growth has kept pace with the
growth of the Manchester branch
in the rest of the world. In the
several states of the United States
the order has a membership of
1851, ,O45 Of this whole number
Louisiana holds less than 5000:
however, ranking ahead of the
states of Mississippi and South
Carolina, and about on parity
with Florida. The little state of
Connecticut. with a population of
a half million less than that of
Louisiana, has more than 4 times
as many Odd Fellows as there are
in this state, while Kansas with a
population about the same as our
own, has nearly 10 times as many
Odd Fellows as there are IN this
state. These comparisons would
indicate that this state has abun
dant opportunity To grow III Odd
Fellowship.
