KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS PJCNIC.

DiirHiigton lt« Itest Foot I'orei.iDRt Lust TIiurHilny to Knterlimi the Viiet A1 ultitmle of I'cii]ilo.

Since the day that the Savior of the world took his discipleu up into an upper chamber that they might pray in secret, secret organizations have been organized until to-day they are numbered by the hundreds and their members by the thousands, and one of the most popular and growing secret orders that we now have is the Knights of Pythias. All know their origin and purpose as being founded on that filial love of I)atnon and Pythias, with friendship, charity and benevolence 11s their motto. Darlington Lodge, No. 150, is one of those prosperous go-ahead lodges now so common in this county. Last Thursday was the [day set apart for their third annual county picnic and the little city of Darlington the place. Early in the morning the usual bustle of getting ready began. Piles of Hags and webs of bunting were placed in position for decoration purposes. Mottos were stretched across the streets assuring all a hearty welcome, and Darlington Castlo Ilall was most beautifully decorated within and without. Early in the morning the members were on hand bright and early to meet the early trains. Twenty of their men were mounted on white horses, till dressed in the uniform of the order and then some forty others mounted but not uniformed, with about sixty on foot marched to the depot and there met the train from the south bearing the Knights from Crawfordsville with their band, also the Uniform Rank. Then the Rockville band, together with the Knights from the south part of the county a procession was formed and marched to the Castle ilall and the business of the day was begun. All rested at ease until 10 o'clock, the hour for the parade, when the parade was formed and some 500 Knights were marched and counter marched through the town, followed by hundreds of citizens on foot and in carriages and stopping only upon arriving at the park west of town, where the assembly was called to order by VV. C. Raper, C. C., and the divine blessing invoked by Rev. F. P. Trotter, followed by the address of welcome by James A. Mount, a member of Darlington lodge. Then came the response by ,T. W. McCardle, (i. P., which completed the exercises of the morning and an adjournment until 1:30 o'clock was taken.

At l:.io the assembly was again called to order and after some good music by the Rockville band, Union B. Hunt, V. C. was introduced as the orator of the day. Although suffering from the effects of an accident a few days ago, he was appointed as a substitute to take the place of Hon. J. E. Watson, S. R., and as he claimed •started out under very embarrassing circumstances. Il is reputation as a speaker did not suffer Thursday, as he held the crowd of some two thousand people as if spell bound for an hour and a half as lie extolled the beauties of Pythianism, and we can say that the lodge made 110 mistake when they secured the services of Mr. Hunt for this occasion. The Rockville band now gave a concert, playing several selections and holding the crowd until near train time, when the assembly adjourned. At the depot while the crowd was waiting for the train they were highly entertained by the Rockville and Crawfordsville bands joining and making some very excellent music. Thus the day was spent and the third annual K. of P. nicnic at an end. Not being a member of the order we can eulogize Darlington Lodge for the manner in which this picnic was conducted. Every arrangement for the comfort and pleasure of their visitors was of the best and if any one was mistreated it was uni:itentionally, and the citizens are again to be congratulated for the interest they manifested in beautifying and decorating the town and in assisting the lodge in entertaining its visitors, and we trust all that were there felt that they had been welcomed and were better for their coming, as we believe this picnic a good thing for the town, for the Knights and the community and should this again occur may we all be as ready to assist then as now, for while we are small we are mighty as entertainers.

Last Thursday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W. I1 outs, Oil west I'iko street, occurred the marriage of their daughter. Miss Dora A., to Mr. W It. Hardee. In anticipation of the happy event the rooms had been very prettily and tastefully decorated with bright (lowers and graceful vines, the effect produced beiug a very pleasing one. At 8 o'clock, when the thirty invited guests had assembled, Prof. Eddie Rrandkatup began playing the Mendelssohn wedding march and to this sweet music the bride and groom, preceded by the officiating clergymen, Revs. S. Ll. Creighton and \V. H. Kerr, entered the parlor. The bride was attired in a becoming gown of white silk, trimmed in lace, and carried brides' roses. The impressive service was performed by kev. S. 11. Creighton and upon its close Rev. \\. II. k'err offered a fervent prayer. Upon its conclusion congratulations were extended, after which a sumptuous wedding supper was served. 1 he happy couple were made the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents. At 11 o'clock they were driven to their newly fitted residence on Morgan street where 'they will be at home to their friends after October 1. Hoth bride and groom are widely known and popular with all for their many excellent traits and all unite in extending to them congratulations and the wishes for a long and happy life together.

THE LADOGA REUNION,

Tlio So),||crn of tl.e lt|u„ „„,i Or»y Warmly Welcomed Within Um of the lioHutiful City,

loo much cannot be said in praise of the open handed hospitality of the citizens of Ladoga on the occasion of the soldiers' reunion held in that beautiful town on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. They threw open the doors of their comfortable homes to every visiting soldier and bade him welcome. It was a joyous occasion for all the old boys. They talked over the scenes of other days, they sang the old songs, they listened to speeches and heard soul stirring music. They ate, drank and were merry. They formed in line several times and made short inarches, had dress parade and listened to orderd. At the camp fire the band played, songs were sung by a colored glee club, and speeches were made by Col. It. P. DeHart, Department Commander II. M. Caylor, Dr. A. R. Tucker, Frank (iill and John Zimmerman, the latter a Confederate sohl-l ier. A recitation appropriate to the occasion was given by Miss Hurt, of New Ross. It was a happy occasion in which all without distinction of party or creed or of whatever army. Union or Confederate, enjoyed to the fullest, extent. Next morning the 5 o'clock salute woke the slumbers of that happy but tired crowd. Soon the streets were again alive with those present and the incoming of others to join the throng of gaity and good humor. The Knights of St. John gave one of their magnificent and inimitable drills which was witnessed by an admiring multitude. Then more marching, finally pulling up at Seminary grove, where 1 rof. J. li. Warfel delivered a welcoming address whicii for the sentiment' expressed clothed as it was in beautiful diction might be considered a gem. Throughout it breathed the spirit of patriotism and of brotherly love to all of every name and of every belief. In the afternoon Capt. W. R. Myers, of Indianapolis, delivered a two hours' address, taking for his theme, "Patriotism." It was a splendid effort, most eloquently spoken, and attentively listened to. All in all the reunion was a most successful affair and in behalf of the soldiers who were present the JOURNAL takes occasion to thank the people of that charming town for their warm and generous welcome within their g^tes.

Hon. ClinrleB F. Jeny at Linden. The Hon. Charles F. Remy made a magnificent speech to a large and enthneiastic audience at Linden last Thursday. Although the Republicans secured the largest auditorium available it was unable to hold all the people. Madison township Republicans are to be congratulated on the splendid meeting and the intense interest they manifest in the cause of the return of prosperity.
