Reorganized in Jesup A Lodge With a Bright Future. The Altamaha Lodge of Odd Fel¬ lows has been reorganized in Jesup with the following officers; W. T. Wilkins, Noble Grand; Peter West berry, V.

Smith, Chaplain, The (juflsii hi < f organizing a lodge of Odd Follows had been discussed for several weeks, as it is recognized as one of tho best and strongest fraternal organization!n the worju, and tnere being u great many of our citizens who we e desirous of becomrniug member* of this org¬ anization, there was only one thing left for us to do, after thorough dis¬ cussing this questii n and that was to organize. One of ihe principal movers in establishing a lodge at this place was Solicitor John W. Ben net who is Grand warden, and an intbusastic Odd Fellow and his hearty cooperation in this matter did much to start tho lodge which opened August 26, with such bright prospects. Hon, J. 8. Tyson of Savannah Grand Secretary, and 8c Hoi tar Bennett of Wayiross were present at the organization, and initiated the new members and installed the officers. Pryor to the meeting for organizing there were about thirty who had signified their deoire to become members, but some were prevented from attending for providential and buisiness reasons ard at the organization which was held in the 1‘ythianOastle ltall there were fifteen who were initiated and the others will be taken in Dtor. From the indications and en’Jiu iasru manifested wo are to have one of the mdsl flourishing lodges in the State, one that Jesup can well boast of, as tlw Odd Fellows is an order of which any erne should be proud to be .1 member. Wherever there is civiiizition on the Globe there yon will lind this order, and when ever you meet a member you have found a brother who is a friend indeed. For tho present the Odd Fellows will meet 011 Tuesday night of each week in the Castle Hall of the Knights of- Pythias. That the now lodge of Odd Fellows will be a grand success in every particular wc have not tho slightest doubt, as it is composed of some of our most prom¬ inent aud progressive citizens who enthused over the order. The Odd Fellows is tho only organization that reoognizos women as co-work¬ ers and we hope to see the Daughters of Rebecca a flourishing organ alien iu Jesup. The Odd Fel¬ lows wilt be glr.d to render them auy assistance in this good work and we ore quite sure that the women could have a splendid secret order in Jesup. Who will be tile first to take up the movement to organize a lodge of Daughters of Rebecca? while they would enjoy tli work they could do a great good. We clip the following from the Marietta Journal. WHY I AM AN ODD FELLOW. 1 It is the strongest fraternal aud benevolent order of the world. 2 It does more for ihe sick, needy and distressed members than any other secret order in existence. 3 It seeks to improve the irund and moral characteerof man, and fosters a spirit of fraternity. 4 It teaches the fatherhood of God the brotherhood of man, and that it is more blessed to give than to re¬ ceive. 5 Its menbers are bound to each otherby everlasting friendship, love and truth. 0 It recognizes man’s helpfulness aud the need of co-oporation in all relations of life, aud seeks to enfold within its protecting arns the whole of the white human race. 7 Its subordinate lodges are re¬ quired to pay sick and funeral ben tfiits to worthy members, and they cannot evade it if they would. 8 Its peifeet sjstem of paying be¬ nefits, aud of existing benevolence, can not be surpassed by any other institution on the Globe. 9 It maintains and supports homes and educational institutes for its or phant children. 10 It maintains and suppotts com¬ fortable homes for its aged and in¬ digent members, aud for the widows of deceased brothers. 11 Its credentials to its members (visiting caids) are recognized iD every clime and country where civ- motion t» founded. 12 It is the only frat-real and b-.eievolel't order that recognizes woman a eo-wos kvr in its mission for relief of auffaring humanity.
