Weatherford Lodg° Observes the
Natal Day
OF THE INDEPENDENT OBDEB
In America—Fort Worth Lod^e Char-
tered a Special Oar—Weatherford
the doming Metropolis of
the West-
On the 26th day of April, 1819,
Washington Lodge No. 1, I. O.O.
F., was founded in the city of
Baltimore by Thos. Wildey and
four colaborers. This was the
first successful institution of the
Independet Order of Odd Fellows
in America. Since its organiza-
tion the little'pebble dropped into
the sea of life on that memorable
night has continued its onward
flight. It has penetrated the
hearts of thousands of strong men
and has brought cheer and comfort
to the homes of millions. With-
in the ranks of the order today are
to be found near 900,000 members
in good standing; and within the
past fifty years it has expended in
charity to the unfortunate and
suffering the vast sum of $56,000,
000. Not only have these vast
sums been expended within its
ranks, but in all the great calami-
ties that have befallen other people,
in states, cities and towns, it has
gathered up thousands of dollars
for the relief of the suffering and
afflicted.
On last Wednesday the members
of Weatherford lodge No. 77, I. O.
O. F., celebrated the 74th anniver-
sary of the order in America, in an
appropriate manner. Extensive
preparations were perfected in ad-
vance and the festivities of the oc-
casion passed off quite agreeably
to one and all.
At 10:30 o'clock, a. m., represen-
tatives of Ft Worth lodges arrived
at the Texas and Pacific depot,
some thirty strong, accompanied
bv a string band.
Visiting brothers were met at
the depot by a reception committee.
A line of march was immediately
formed and the procession moved
up the west side of North Main
street in the following order:
1. Receptioi committee of
Weatherford Lodge.
2. Visiting Brothers.
3. Members of Wea,therford
Lodge.
Upon reaching the square the
procession continued the line of
march around the east side of the
square to the Odd Fellows' hall on
the south side. Arriving at the
hall all were seated in due form
and Noble Grand F. J. Penland
called the lodge to order. Bro. W. C.
Blevins, acting inside guardian,
secured the door, and the Noble
Grand delivered a short address,
explaining the program of the
day.
D. D. G. M. E. P. Nicholson,
master of ceremonies, then deliv-
ered a short address of welcome
and Noble Grand Penland ad-
journed the lodge, extending visit-
ing brothers the freedom of the
city.
After dinner yisiting bretheien
assembled at the hall at 5 o'clock.
Carriages and numerous vehicles
were waiting and they were escort-
ed over the city by several mem-
bers of Weatherford lodge who al-
lowed no point of prominence to
escape notice.
During the rounds, the Ft.
Worth brethren complimented
Weatherford very highly, and
more than one remarked: "Weath-
erford is a beautiful city, surround-
ed by picturesque scenery, and is
the coming metropolis of the
West."
At 7:3Q o'clock, p. m., Weather-
ford Lodge and visiting bretheren
assembled at the hall. All in
readiness they marched to the
opera house, where the program of
the day was concluded in elaborate
style.
The opera house was beautifully
decorated, and everything had
been so arranged as to admit of
no jar or friction. A group of
flags, reprsenting various nations,
and a long streamer, bearing a
greeting of Welcome fror* Weath-
erford lodge, occupied a Iponspicu-
ous position over the fr<>^1 of the
stage. The front of the center
aisle was rendered /ery attractive
by the presence of the "three links,"
one of the emblems of the order,
made of evergreen and natural
flowers, including the initial let-
ters of the order's motto, *'F. L.
and T."
Following is the program enact-
ted at the opera house:

trora time to time.
The progressive citizen takes great
pride in noting the many valuable
improvements being made in Weath-
erford at this time.
