THE (CENTRE REPORTER. 26TH ANNIVERSARY,
The Odd Fellows Celebrate thelr Rounding
it Quarter Centary,
On January 15th, 1873, twenty-five
years ago, the I, 0. O. F., of Centre
Hall received their charter, and on
Saturday evening the twenty-fifth an-
niversary was appropriately celebrated
by the order by a banquet in the hall
on the third floor of the bank building.
The banqueters, members of the order,
with their wives and best girls, num-
bered sixty-four. A mong those pres-
ent was but one charter member
this lodge. Postmaster B, D. Brisbin
was that one,
Two long tables the full length of
the hall were spread, and were loaded
down with all the delicacies the season
afforded. It was a well-gotten-up sup- |
per and none appreciated that fact]
more fully than those who partic ipat-|
ed in it.
The Masonic hall was used a re-
ception room, where after supper a|
oumber of speeches were made by vis-
1 iting members of the order and others.
The Grant City, Mo., Lewistown, Mil- |
roy and Renova lodges were represent- |
ed.
