THE ODD FELLOWS BALL.
On Thursday night last the I. o. O. F.
ball was a grand success, everything
passing off with the esprit du corps
which so we'll characterizes an Odd
Fellows party. The floor of the ball
room was filled with gay throng of
Odd Fellows and their friends, and the
committees under the direction of
Messrs. Owen, Buckle and Boes were
determined that each and all should
thoroughly enjoy every minute of the
quickly 1eeting hours. Olsen's full
band was in attendance and did JUS
tice to the occasion to the appreciation
of all present, both old and young.
Everything proceeded with the gaiety
of wedding BELLS and the unanimous
request to have another one at an early
date will without question be acceded
to.
