THE CHURCH SUPPER.
The ladies' Supper last week for the
benefit o. the Methodist parsonage was
a most gratifying success, whether con-
sidered in pecuniary, artistic or social
point of view. The tables were sur
prisingly beautiful and laYishly laden
with comforts for the inner mPp, while
the attendance was large and comprised
| every age and sex and trade and pros
| tessiOn. The ladies had prepared a SUI
perb supper, and had q superb crowd

| their attentions to guest s, and made ev-
cry one feel as if he would like to have
such occasions often repeated. The pro.

RAILROAD MEETING.
There was an exceedingly small at
tendance at the railroad meeting las
Saturday. Our people either feel yer,
little interest upon the subject, or hav,
been panic stricken, If We are to judg
from the number present at this meet
ing. Major Sykes said he was discOur
aged, tn ought there was very little rail
road feeling here, and that is was hardl.
worth while for him to make speed
upon the subject. He talked tor
short time however, upon the practica
bility eff building narrow gauge roads a
this time, and demonstrated the neces
sity of cheaper transportation. TIL
narrow gauges could be built with one
third the cost, do fully as much bust
ness at one-hIlf the rates charged OF
broad gauges. and make larges divi
dends. Besides, they could be built OIL
credit. No cash subscriptions wer
| asked, only the issue of county bond
| strated that these bonds could be redeem
| ed with the net savings realized by the
| great reduction of freights, to say moth
| ing of the dividends or the increas 81
| facilities OF travel and transportatiO OF
they would afford, or the Increased
| prosperity they would bring about.
