they made them take shape over
crook-neck squash or scythe snath.
All they wanted was a pair of ducks
wings and .teeer appetite. and they
would have passed for angels in a crowd
of blind people. The supper, howev-
err, was capital. They couldn't help
running short of provisions of course,
and we boys who went out and got a
lunch Of crackers and cheese. didn' t
blame the " cherubs, not in the least.
We can't tell all the good things they
had but one dish attracted our at
tention particularly. 1t was a sort Of
hash made Of drumhead lobster and
canned cabbage, ana it was very delic-
ious, and when we saw DR.. Witter and
Jack Brundage devouring it, every
molthfuI reminded US of a produce
train going into freight depot. There
was no end to the cake, (they were all
round } Well, the girls did very we'll

possible they arranged for a dog dia-
logue under one of the tables. When

DexterviIle.-Her Manufactur-

ing the 100 p. m. train last Friday, we
found ourself, a little after >, at the
Baskerville station, point which only
two brief years ago could not be reached
in less than four hours. over the most
terrible roads and through seemingly
impossible swamps. Railroads, after
all are mighty missionaries. This sec
ton looks very little as it did fifteen
wears ago, when q white man was GU
riosity, and the aborigines were SO com
mon that it is only wonder they were
not appointed to positions upon the
canvassing boards at the Spring and
Fall elections. Then Dexteryille was
indeed a wilderness waste to day it is
a thriving village, with fine residences
and prospering industries, possessing a
degree of thrift seldom found in more
pretentious burgs.
Upon our arrival, we were met by Miss
Annie Houston, the Post Mistress Of
Wood, who conveyed US to her fathers
where We spent the night, and CLEANED
much information relative to the upper
Yellow River region.
Mr. barrow, who was so unfortunate
as to lose his arm last fal!, is running
his steam grub mill and turning on

parties in the shingle manufacturing

The " Girls" Afternoon Tea
The & tea " at the Church-cll House,
(Which some folks call the basement)
last Thursday was, to say the least, a
big persuader of hungry stomachs.
The 9 girls" you see, were little
vexed because the boys had demon
strated the fact tat they could keep
house without EN-, anI so they were
bound to eclipse, partially at least, il
not totally, the boys effort. Well, we
acknowledge the victuals We're good,
and we guess pretty clean. They did
mt have the boys to wash and wipe the
dishes for them, so we didn't expect
them to be very clean, but then it was
very well done for girls. The Dining
Room Of the Church-ell House was
beautifully decorated with evergreens,
suspended in fcstoons, and interviewer
with autumn leaves. The walters were
as numerous as forest leaves, and una
dorned, were beautiful but they all
wore a head gearing that detracte ]
somewhat from their beauty. One of
them told US how they made EN-. One
washtub of foamy s'pds from under
Rablin's dam, with a little spriukling
of starch, compressed and squeezed
over a sweet potatoe, was required for
one cap. We believe they called them
"cherubs, nap-sacks." Another ''cher-
ub " gave us this recipe Take sew

ceptance, in defining his position on
the railroad question, transportation,
&C., says I--(well, come to look
for it, we don't see it.) We guess
that question, with the Judge, has
taken a change of venue.
Now, Judge, when you send in
your resignation to Gov. Taylor, 1t
would be we'll to make it brief, or
his Honor may return it to be cut down
