Quite select Hop was given at the

young ladies from II distance were pres
ent. Among the number, Misses Ellen
Fletcher and Susie Young, two charm-
ing young ladies from st. Louis, who are
visiting friends in the city. Also, Miss
Matte Richardson, from Clark county,
whose queenly beauty was surpassed by
no one in the room. Among the young
ladies present from Paris were Misses
Bette Ogden, Florence Short, Belle
Palmer, Jennie Cook, and the lovely
Miss Matte Osborn, who has just re-
turned from the South, where she has
been spending the winter. We would
like to say more on the subject, but time
and space forbid. Suffice it to say that
everything passed of with the same
quiet success that characterizes the
Hops given by the Paris Social Club.

of Dr.. Downey, Miss Hattie Clay and

On Sunday evening Rev. James n.
Gilbert preached to a full congYegatio..
largely composed Of yGGas men y hi, had
assembled to hear the Rev. gentIeman's
sermon, which was announced to be for
their benefit. The sermon was well de.
livered but did not come up to our ex-
pectatioEs, as Mr.. Gilbert omitted to tell
us what TO avoid and what to seek on our
way toward holiness. Rev. j. S, Ship
man preached in ChrisPs Church a con-
ServatiVe sermon on theaters and the
drama. He did not denounce the amuse-
ments in wholesale terms, only such
plays as had an immoral tendency, He
was particularly severe on modern horse
racing, since it causes much betting and
gambling which he thought was an in
iictable offense.
kew. >, j. Cook preached in st. Paups
Churcn on the IN Non-perf0rmance of re-
DslGus duties.' He said "that those who
were ashamed OF their religion were the
objects OF laughter by the devils in hell"
We thought the youthful preacher was
laying it down at a devil OF rate.
