The festivities opened with a sumptuous banquet served in the I. O. O. F. hall in the Ellis-Forde build ing, plates being laid for 161 mem bers. After disposing of an excellent I course dinner, the various Odd Fel lows present adjourned to the We natchee theater, where an official program was presented. The ad dress of the evening, by the Rev. A. J. Adams, was peculiarly pertinent to lodge affairs and was heard with close attention by the large gather ing present. At the conclusion of the program an informal dance was held, 1) lag participated in by the three local branches of the I. O. O. F. The Re bekah ladies chaperoned the young sters present, the Crollard boys sup plied dance music, and a good time was enjoyed until a late hour. Sunday morning at 10:30 the Rev. Mr. Hilton will address the members of the I. O. O. F. at St. Luke"s Epis copal church. All members will meet at the downtown lodge room, and march to the church edifice. Continue Fruit Inspection.
