The Laurelwoo.1 lodge of Rchek nhs invited the Odd Fellows to join them in a reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs I). D. Davenport at their me. ting lust w..k, Wednes day evening. There were about 150 members of the two lodges met aud enjoyed most happy evening. There were games such as drop the hand- ccrchicf, going to Jerusalem, a road that seemed as hard as the one to Jericho, aud the last game that was played they called the Virginia Keell I Well, it was "reel" funny, because there were but two or three who understood the game and the rest of us made fun for those two or three by trying to leant the whole business at one sitting. It was too many for some of us, though, and we fell by the wayside. 1 hen came the lunch which was delicious as the Rcbckahs1 lunches always are. After the lunch Mrs. Davenport was called to the Noble Grand s chair and presented with the prettiest Rebekah pin we have ever seen. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. II. S. Hewitt, who told the charming Rebekah what a nice girl she had been since coining into the order and our regrets that she was to leave us. Then a Sister Rebekah, who must be a populist judging from the song, "Keep in de middle of de road." Mrs. Davenport as sisted her and they gave a "cake walk" that brought down the louse. Mr. aud Mrs. Davenport have won all hearts since tlieir coming to St. Johns aud they will be greatly missed from the social circle, where they have contributed most generously to the amusemcut aud entertainment of our people. The very best wishes of all who mve learned to know them go with them to tlieir new home and hope they may be so fortunate as to re turn to St. Johns when their two years are up at Detroit, Mich. The couuty convention of the M. W. A. was held Wednesday and a number of our boys attended. The delegates from the local lodge were G. W. Dunbar, Geo. L. Kpps and Adam F. Kaemleiu. The meeting was held at Fir camp in Portland and Adam was elected as secretary of the convention. C, W. Mead ows aud W. K. Foster of Portland, and Judge Vaughn, theold fraternal war horse, wese chosen delegates to the state convention to be held at Ashland in May. The boys report a most enthusiastic session of the convention. Look at your label, and if you are over a year behind the first of April please hook up for another year's run with us. We will make the paper better as the days go by and you cannot afford to do with out it. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS You get your money's worth ot rrairs.
