The attendance was large and the en-

proportion. The fraternity was well
represented, both by our own citizens
and others from abroad The dancing,
which began at ten clock, was kept up
with life and animation until twelve,
when an elegant supper began and occn-
pied some time; afterward dancing was
resumed and kept up until a late hour.
The crowd included many Of our we'll
known city bellies and their gallant
escorts, as we'll as staid matrons and
graver seniors, who all seemed to enjoy
themselves equally. Altogether it was
brilliant affair and pleasant success
indicating the strength of the Order

has indeed and in truth proven himself
live man and most efficient landlord,
as is evidenced by the very great i'm
provement he has made in every depart

of business. We have never known any
one in so short time to effect so much,

may, for he has certainly done much to
enhance their comfort and pleasure. We
know nothing ofthe motiveswhich prompt
him to retire, but suffice it to say that il
is for no want of financial integrity OF
public confidence and esteem May
success ever crown his worthy efforts

has been subjected to the most severe
tests in the Mississippi bottom, where it
effected many hundred cures Of eharbone

time is lost in doctoring. Besides being
always ready, it has the properties Of a
