Odd Fellows Celebrated lo1st Anniver-
sary of Their Order.
The local Odd Fellow lodge gave
| its observance of the l0lst anniver-
sary at the hall on Wednesday night,
with an attendance of $50. At S;l5
the company sat down to the we'll
filled tables and for time were busy
in partaking of the numerous delicious
foods which we're on the tables. AT the
close, 0. j. Marcott, who sat at the
head of one of the tables, arose and
proceeded to give description of the
lodge of Odd Fellows, the number OF
members in the state and world and
the amount expended in the relief of
those in need At the close he extend
ed hearty welcome to all present, and
as he was seated, Rev. f. s. Tolman,
the pastor of the Baptist church, him
self a member of the order, arose and
responded to the welcome in a very
pleasant manner The Patch orchestra
was present and contributed in a large
measure to the success of the meeting.
Rev. r. H. Moore, also member of
the order, was then called upon and
gave an excellent talk upon the work
and meaning of the organization. Miss
Grace Fiske was called and gave a
vocal selection, which was appreciated
and upon being recalled, she sang a
second selection, which was enjoyed by
all Miss Merle Allen was her accom-
PIANIST. Following this, Rev. Fraser
Metzger was introduced, and as usual
was ready for the occasion. Not having
a personal knowledge of the order, not
being a member, he spoke only from
observation of its work, but in the
highest terms of its principles. Miss
Lucille Grant was oalIed, and, as usual,
delighted the company with her selec
tions, for she also was recalled and
gave fine number for her second
piece Miss Edith Marcott was her ac
companist. Mr.. Sturtevant, who is
here this week, assisting Rev. Tolman
in his work, was called, and it was
found that he also belonged to the or
ganization. His remarks were very en-
joyable. Mrs. Bigelow of Braintree then
gave vocal selections, which We're en-
loved, this being the first time some
of those present had listened to her
voice. After short time the com
pany disbanded, with the remembrance
of a pleasant evening
