PARR ODD FELLOWS TO PUT UP MODERN BUILDING

The Parr I. O. O. F. and a stock company, yet to be organized, will erect a brick building, which will be modern in every respect, to replace the one destroyed by fire at that place last week. The upper floor will be occupied by the Odd Fellows and the lower floor will be used for a business room. The lodge lost all of its paraphernalia in the fire. The building was insured for $1,700, but the outstanding obligations of the order amount to about $1,500. W. L. Wood, of this city, is also talking of erecting a fine business room at Parr in the very near future. William Myers, whose business rooms were also destroyed by the fire, is considering rebuilding. It is probable that all of the new buildings will be of brick, which will give Parr a citified appearance.
