Delightiully Enter
tained by Odd Fellows
About two hundred members and
friends of the Fitzgerald Lodge, I. O.
O. F, were delightfully entertained -at
the Odd, Fellows hall last -evening,
the occasion being a “Home Coming”
celebration of the membership of the
local lodge. Friendship, Love and
Truth were the subjects of the
speeches allotted respectively to Revs.
Bleker, E. G, Orahood and C. A. Ginn,
each of whom strove to emphasize
the virtue of his subject and to im
press those present with its relative
importance in the well being of civ
ilized society. We would find it dif
ficult to say which one of the gentle
men succeeded above the others as
they all in turn made one feel that it
is. “well for brethren to live together
in Friendship, Love and Truth.” Mr.
J. E. Turner, who delivered the ad
dress of welcome, was especially hap
py in the selection of well-fitting
stories to illustrate the meaning of
the gathering. Mr. C. A. Fretwell,
écting" as toastmaster for the -acca
sion introduced the speakers. Dr.
Louis Turner . rendered a musical
number and Mr. Smedley gave a short
reading to the delight of the audi
ence. The Fitzgerald Orchestra fur
nished the music for the evening. A
splendid supper, furnished by .the
members of the Rebecca lodge, was
served after the literary entertain
ment. Several cars of Ocilla Qdd
Fellows and, their ladies were among
the guests =of the evening. The
friends of the order, who were for
tunate in being present, as well as
the members and their families, spent
a delightful evening.

Ottawa, Nov. 30.—A subcommittee
of the cabinet is engaged on the prob-y
lems arising out of the wheat com
mandeering order, but thete is no in
dication that there wiii be any com
pensation from the government for
the sudden seizure or complications
thdt may arise out of failure to fill
contracts. J
Some of the grain interests repre
sented -here bhelieve the government
will allow them to have the seized’
grain for immediate use if able to re
place it at the government, rate quick

tie-up of millers and other contracts.
