Jolly" another, regardless of adjectives,
said they had "a splendid good time. y
Another said, ''who blames the youngsters
for wanting to dance, when the music af-
fects as so that we cannot keep still?'-
There was dance at Irvine & Benefits

that some larcenous rascals have been
making depredations upon the farmers
