INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS.

The query which has been industriousIy
passed IN the LODGES in District No. 3 has
been whether II District session OF the
Grand Lodge would please the members
The answer has been an enthusiastic aye.
One prominent aud ardent member gave
"a very decided yes by all means. Just
what we want. ] am glad TO know that
we have Grand Master who
has not forgotten thar there are
some tried aud true Odd Fellows
in this end of the State who
imagined they had been forgotten. The
movement is being agitated, and from
present indications the lodges will be
urged to take action and petition the
worthy Grand Master to hold special
session OF the Grand Lodge in this city,
and enable many members IN this section
OF the State TO attend Grand Lodge
meeting, as comparatively few are able TO
attend the regular session at Trenton.
Garfield No. 65 conferred the second

Myrtle Rebekah Degree Lodge held its
regular meeting on Thursday evening. 1t
was a grand turnout The absentees
were few. Six candidates were initiated
and Ii pleasant meeting was held. When
the session closed the fair was considered
and the members and committees were
jubilant over the cheerful reports. The
list of donations that have been received
would stock a large store The value of
the articles received is over 81 800 There
are numerous donations TO be collected.
The committee is very much encouraged
over the prospect and predict that the fair
will excel anything that has been given
in this city, aud Il handsome nucleus
will be established for the building fund
of Odd Fellows Hall and splendid
contribution viii be sent to the Odd Fell
lows Home. IL is the intention of the
committee to dispose of the articles at
reasonable prices. The committee is
composed of those with experience and
they are carefully marking the goods, as
they realize that. exorbitant prices Will
not aid in their S6ae
Every Odd Fellow in this vicinity
should do his utmost to make the fair a
success. A failure would do the order
incaieulable injury 1t would show la
mentabie lack of interest ON the part of
the members i'll lis own institution, and
this would not have tendency to enlist
members. Every member should be
active in this enterprise, and If they alone
modestly patronize ii, the fair Will be a
success without much assistance
The magnificent silk flag is on exhibit
ton at Nc. 4S Newark avenue, aud ought
to arouse a lively competition among or
guuizations.
Who will win the handsome P. G. coll
lars to be voted for at the fair? Boys,
save your dimes.
Garfield wants that set of gavels, and
will make strong bid for 1t.
Mechanics worked the first degree last
Thursday night
