The Odd Fellows

The oiltl Fellows oí the city on last Wednesday evenlng held the first enterLiinment in their elegant new rooms on the third floor of the Henning bloek. Kor weeks the carpenters, patatera and decorators have been at work as busy as beavers, and the results of their labors were apparent on every hand. Everything that could be imagined for the comfort and pleasure of the brothers and their friends had been provided. 'lhe arrangement of the various rooms was fully described in The Demookat some time ago. C. E. Godfrey was general chairman for the arningements for the opening, and well indeed was his work, done. The 175 eouples present found that everything possible for their entertainment had been thought of. The large lodge room floor was covered with canvas and used as a dance room. Trom 8 p. M. till 1 a m. the crowd enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The effect of the new rooms, with the better faeilities for doing the work will undoubtedly be to give the order a boom in this city. Ihe order itself is one of the oldest and best of the various fraternal societies of the land. It has many attractive features peculiarly its own, as well as the general characte r of fraternity, which gives it a strong hold on its members. Many of our leading citizens have been members of the order for al most a Ufe time The party Wednesday night was the rst one of a series it is proposed to ive durhig the winter, for the benefit f the members of the various branches f the order.
