Brief History
OF The [. 0. o. F.
By GEORGE WEAVER

Noble Grand, Jefferson Lodge
The Independent Order of Odd
Fellows is an American institu-
ton. 1t was organized April 26,
1919, in the city of Baltimore,
Md, by Thomas Wildey, young
English blacksmith, assisted by
four others.
Odd fellowship is not reli-
gious society, if by that term we
mean sectarian or dogmatic re-
igion. It knows no sectarian
creed upon which men and wo-
men so often and so widely diff
fer. The building of moral charac-
ter and the education of the mas
ses is good citizenship, love of
country, love to God and to fell
lowmen has been well styled ere
hgion at work." hence it depends
entirely upon what we under
stand as "a religious society" as
to the class we are in.
We point with pride to the
hundreds of good men that have
been led into the different de-
nominations of the Christian
church by having become mem
bers of our beloved order, while
we challenge the world to pro-
duce a dozen men who have be-
come less Christian by becom-
ing members.
The Christians Bible is the
storehouse- from which all. our
principles are derived. Our law
compels every lodge to place this
book in their meeting place and
to keep it there. But the only
creed that our members have to
subscribe to is the belief in a
Supreme Being, the Creator and
Preserver Of the universe. Our
organization is founded upon the
eternal truth of the Fatherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of
Man; teaching and practicing the
Golden Rule, with creeds to di-
vide us. Enrolled in our member
ship are ministers and members
of many different denominations.
The mission of Odd Fellow
ship is to visit the sick, relieve
the distressed, bury the dead,
take care of and protection of the
widow, and educate the orphan.
"Our motto is Friendship
Love and Truth. It is a part OF
that force. that was put in mo-
ton two thousand years ago that
will ultimately clease this world
of impurity.
No matter how rich, how poor
how learned or unlearned, men
with genuine principles can meet
as brothers on the common basis
of Odd Fellowship and unitedly
engage the work to uplift him.
self and his Fellowmen.

It was erected III 1917 and was
the first educatieRalge structure

school site.
Strange as it maywseem, Mr..
Barr, who has drawn plans for
the new building, wasuthe first

Throughout the county there
is a great deal@of sentiment for
this old building Because Between
its walls many, citizens of the
county were schooled.

Wants More For
Finnish Relief

L. P. Coward, county chairman
for the Finnish Relief Fund said
that so far, only two schools had
reported, Orion and Peak Val
ley.
MIR. Coward asked that all 9TH
er schools send in their reports
to him. He also asked that all in
dividuals interested in making
contributions turn them over to
him in order that they might be
reported along. with others from
this county.
1t was pointed out that since
every one knows the conditions
now existing in Finland, through
press reports, it is evident to all
that aid is badly needed.

Spencer Holding
Revival Meeting
AT Bina Church


A great deal Of interest is be-
ing shown in the revival meeting
that is being held at the Bina
Baptist church near Warrensville.
Those attending the meeting
have been inspired and benefited
by the fine sermons delivered by
Rev. J. 0. Spencer, of Bel Air,
Md, and a former preacher in
this county.
Before going to Maryland four
years ago, Mr.. Spencer served a
number of Baptist churches in
Ashe, including the Healing
Springs Baptist church Of which
he was pastor for 10 years.

TIE you want more friends,
more popularity, more success,
nay for them by paying atten-
alon TO THE things that attract
friendship and success. Pay at
9e1tion and develop the traits
of ct1aracer you admire in 9TH
eers. Pay attention to what you
like, what they want to do, put
aside your own desires, opin-
aons and tastes in order to help
them get what they want. If
you'll do that, nothing on earth

friends, business and success.

explained, after eight years of

without mishap, I slipped on the ice

One of the oldest of the guides is

head, without fatal effect, the blow
which was intended for his gallant
commander. !, While this struggle
was going on, the assailants were
not idle; and the release of De-
catur from the grasp of the Turk
was speedily followed by the sur
render of the vessel.
Shortly after Stephen Decatur's
return to this country, he was smit-
ten with the fascinating Southern
charms of Miss Susan Wheeler. a
Norfolk belle of refinement and
education, to whom he was married
October 8, 1906 She was the daueh-

place. In addition to commanding
beauty, it is said, this young lady
possessed great superiority of in

1t has been said that the hand of

Baltic feet returning home under
convoy of the Scraps and : the
Countess of Scarborough. He sig
nailed his consorts to form a line
with the Pallas in the van and the
Alliance astern of the Richard, and
to chase the enemy, but according
to an early account, "the insubordi-
nation Of Capt. Landais frustrated
all the plans, and he not only de-
prived the commodore of the assist
ance of that vessel, but endeavored
to withdraw that Of the Pallas also.
The commodore, Notwithstanding
this diminution of his force. stood
steadily on, and, about o'clock he
came up with the Scraps, the
Countess of Scarborough being a
short distance 20 leeward."
Moonlight Struggle.
"The weather was clear" we are
further told, and "the surface of the
sea unruffled, and, just as the
Richard came within gunshot of her
opponent, the moon rose with un-
usual splsndor, to reveal the terrible
struggle, which was about to open,
to the anxious spectators who had
crowded on the edges of the cliffs,
which, at that place, formed the
coast Of England. What ship is
that?' was asked by the captain of
the Scraps as the Richard came up:
and, come little nearer and will
tell you,' was the equivocal reply.

However, he could not have resided
there long, for soon after arriving
In the city he purchased for his
residence one of the Seven Buildings.
During our early wars-particu-
larly the War of 18l2-15-many of
the naval commanders who were
fortunate enough to survive the con-
f1ict found themselves possessed Of
considerable prize money, turned
over to them by the Government
through the sale of captured enemy
vessels and cargoes.
Decatur soon found that he should
have new home in a more stylish
neighborhood than that afforded by
the Seven Buildings, and so we find
him purchasing the site at the
southwest corner of H street and
Jackson place, where he erected in
1919 the building still standing at
that location.
Decatur had only a short while to
live in his new home, for it was
destined he should be carried from
here corpse but one short year
hence, following the fatal duel at
Bladensburg with Commodore James
Barron, March. %, 1920.
Jones' Great Battle.
The statue of Commodore John
Paul Jones, which stands on the
Mall, little southwest of the White
House, cannot help but remind us
Of one of the greatest naval engage
ments in modern history.

1t was fought OF F1auiborough
Head on the coast Of Yorkshire, Eng
land. September %, 1779, mainly be-
tween the Bon Homme Richard of
Jones squadron, and the British
ship Scraps.
The vessels under Commodore
Jones were loaned to the American
colonies by the French government
and included the Bon Homme Rich
ard, Pallas, Ariel, Cert and Ven-
geance. Benjamin Franklin, we are
told, used his influence in having
this fleet fitted out, the cost having
been borne in part by the King of
the French, by the American COM
miSsioners, and the remainder by
M. lie Ray Chaumont, a banker in
Paris.
Jones flagship, the Bon Homme
Richard, was an old East Indiaman
named Duras, said to have been
condemned and laid up as a hulk,
the Alliance-not mentioned in the
foregoing list, but a part of the
American f1otilla-was a fine Con-

McElroy. ''They expect to see a
cleaning white building" he said,
"and, as you know, the Capitol lust
simply doesn't answer that descrip-
ton. It's our job to restore ad-
miration by giving all the history
that goes with the buildings worn
grayness"
Rush season for the guides usually
is from May to September. During
this period, they average seven or
eight tours day, each trip taking
80 or 40 minutes. Occasionally, they
get a group that expects to see
everything in about 10 minutes.
In the winter, the work Is easier
and therefore less lucrative. Wis
itors number only about one-tenth
the summer peak, so the guides
usually work only every other day.
But we. get a better crowd in
winter" said Mrs. Thidbadeau,
Businessmen, stopping over in
Washington for q day; winter vaca-
tionists, on their way to or from
Florida"
Mrs. Thibadeau's experience as a
guide has taught her to "size up''
people from a geographical view
point rather quickly. For example,
she can nearly always identify Cali
fornians-"They're wide awake,
quick, brisk, always in a hurry
she said. New Englanders, on the
other hand. are identifiable by their
'fnquisitiveness," and Southerners
by their "friendliness."
All kinds Of people make up a
typical day in the life Of q guide
point that was emphasized by Mr..
McElroy in an amusing little tale
involving q colleague.
This guide had an unusually cos
mopolitan party one day" Mr.. Nc
Elroy related. "As he started on
his tour, he wisecracked, All 1 need
