20 LOVE POWDERS FOR HRR.-The first DAY
alter the arrival OF the Camp Hunt party from
this city, IN Cevington County, the boys were
visited by two OF the "piney woods" girls.
After a very pleasant chit-chat and when about
10 depart, they were nvited to take a social
glass. This they readily accepted, and our
handsome young Druggist friend went to work
TO nx up something extra nice for the fair
visitors. They eyed him very closely during
the operation, showing most concern in regard
to the grating OF the nutmeg to finish off the
drinks The glasses were handed to them, but
the unmarried female hesitated awhile before
putting it to her lips. Finally, she turned her
back and was observed blowing OFF the nutmeg
before gulping down the draught The bows
couldn't divine the cause OF her hesitancy or
the object Of her blowing. In a day or two,
however, 1t was explained to their amusement
by some young men from the same house,
They said the "gals" thought them cocktails
couldn't be beat, but that the youngest one de.
ciared she was TOO sharp for that fine "city
buck" who fixed them up. "He couldn't get
ner TO drink his lore pouders what he put on
