Honor the Davenports.
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.

are over a year behind the first of
