' ODDFELLOWSHIP. , The usual fortnightly meeting -of the Loyal Blackball Oddfellows’ Lodge was held in the Lodge room on Monday evening, when there was a large attendance of members. N.G, Bro. H- Williams presided. After the usual routine business had been transacted, one candidate was proposed for membership. A discussion then took place in reference to the annual ball, when it was finally resolved to celebrate the anniversary of the Lodge on Friday, May 19th. P.G.M. Bro. C. R. Davis was unanimously elected secretary.. The lodge was then closed in the usual form. BLACKBALL BRASS BAND. The benefit performance to be given by Mr Tom Moore of the Pollard Picture Co., in aid of the local brass band, is to take place in Stevens’ Hall on Wednesday, 29th March. This performance will also be supported by several first-class vocalists, whose services Mr A. Leitch and his committee have secured. As this entertainment is for a worthy object, it is to be hoped that every . person in the district will be present. PROPERTY SALE. At a sale of proper-ties held here last week, our worthy citizen, Mr Edward Williams, purchased the homestead and sections owned by Mr R. Wilson, who has left the district with the intention of gojng to America.
