 OPEN MEETING
Celebration of 102nd Anniver- sary at Hall Last Night Was Attended by 325 Members and Friends of the Order.

The Nevada Lodge No. 203 of Pres colt, not only proves them to be gen. teel Odd Fellows in word and deed, but they furnished concrete evidence last night that they can be jolly good fellows as we'll These fraternal loy- ahsts laid aside their secrets for the time being and joined hands in mak- ing their celebration the most success ful of it's kind ever held in Prescott The only thing lacking was room to accommodate the visitors.
 Col Alex Vaughan was in charge of the program and filled the place in a manner that reflected credit on this pioneer Odd Fellow. The pro- gram being too lengthy to comment on in detail, we are forced to only mention briefly the features. Too much cannot be said in behalf of Freely's orchestra which furnished music for the occasion-not all the music, however, but appropriate se- lections at times when they were needed most. Freely's Orchestra, which was making it's initial appear ance with the present personnel, was composed of Freely Lewis, director and violinist; Geo. A. Hayes, saXa- phone; Dale McDaniel and Robert Blakely, clarinets; James Cole, cor net, and Miss Jennie Lewis, piano. Freely's Orchestra was certainly one of the features of the occasion. Mrs. Cleve Stivers' sweet voice was heard in Annie Laurie" and was en- thusiastically received. The Peer less Quartette, composed of Mrs. H. J. Wilson, Miss Gertrude Davis and Messrs. J. Fred Powell and Les ter Steed deserve the best that can be said about home quartette, and their harmony was wonderful, their selections most appropriate and well received, encores being resorted to numerous times by the admiring crowd Mir. Powell as a soloist needs no comment to Prescott people who have learned to appreciate his vocal ability; suffice to say that he was at his best last night.
 Are You an Odd Fellow" com posed by J. Dale Wilson, and ren- dered as a reading by Miss Mabel Burns, with Miss Jeanette Burns as accompanist on the piano, was a masterpiece in preaching the gospel of Odd Fellowship, and was heartily applauded.

C. Yancey. Both addresses were brief, but contained all the require ments of a timely word of welcome and appreciation.
 Other brief addresses were made on subjects pertaining to Odd Fellow ship and the Rebecca lodge by H. E. Rouse, c. W. Hill of Nashville, past grand master of Arkansas, Mrs. Emma Hamilton of Hope, member of the grand assembly of the Rebeccas, J. R. Wilson. A number of comical features were well received by the crowd including jokes, etc., personal and impersonal, by c. c. Calhoun, Roy c. Nelson, H. O. Giles and others.
 Last, but not least by any means, came the sumptuous banquet which was prepared by wives of the Odd Fellows, and to term it a luncheon would be a prevarication backwards, for it certainly was most delicious menu of salads, sandwiches, coffee, pickles, olives, whipped cream and a dessert of cream and homemade cake Thus the 102nd anniversary of the local I, o. O.
