This is the last opportunity you'll

Reed n Lathrop's. BY tomorrow
morning, SO great will bc the rush, the

Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather the committee OF ar
rangements have positively decided
that the ball of the Stonewall Greys
shall take place tonight at the Court
house. Persons interested viii take
notice that there will be no postpone
mentunder any circumstances.
We have been requested to an
nounce that u certain charitable
woman in this city will subscribe as
much money as any other two per
sons in the city for the purpose of CIV
ing the poor prisoners in the county
lail Christmas dinner, Let us hear
from all persons who feel interested in
the matter.
The cost of feeding the prisoners
| in the calaboose for the month of July
was SlG6, and for the month Of Novem-
Der 1t was only SIG, or $50 less. AS a
general thing there are more inmates
In the city prison during the winter
months than in the summer ones, but
this year seems to be an exception.
Sixteen and two-thirds cents is the
price per meal paid by the city.
Tonight and tomorrow the aver
age juvenile will indulge in the usual
quantity of torpedoes, cannon crackers,
Roman candles, rockets, pin wheels
aud other fire works. The older por'
ton of the community will take n
little more whiskey in theirs than on
ordinary occasions, and the city treas-
ury will probably be the richer.
-Miers Il Caldwell have just receiv-
ed q very superior article of imported
Irish and Scotch whisky,also an invoice
of the best imported rum especially for
llavoring eggnog. We know gentle
man who has sampled these liquors,
we know him to be II judge, and he
pronounces them par excellence the
best article ever brought to the city.
Every family should brew bowl OF
eggnog on Christmas day and as good
liquor is the essential part of the con
coction, why 60 to Miers u Caldwells
and get it.
The story is old, but loved dear Kate,
In the days that forever are gone,
| With n love that was as pure as the sera,
phims have
In their home lying East of the dawn.
But you found one you deemed more worthy
than /,
And sou chose him your life mate To be-
o, could but know your hearts void wa
filled,
1t would bring II sweet rest unto me.
I'm no longer the gay reckless boy as ofyore
| In the summer dreamed was 80 bright,
For silver ismixed with my black curly hair
And my eyes have II silvery light,
Oh just for tonight let me lean on YOU
breast
My head that with grief is bowed down,
For can but believe that the phantom IL
real,
In the light streaming in DER the ground.
Sheriff Barkley gave dinner
yesterday, at the lie Grand Hotel, ia
Judge Silas Hare and the Grand Jury
The dinner was one of Tom Smiths
best, and everything passed off in the
most agreeable manner. AT desert
mysterious bottles of sparkling wine
were produced and everybody was
happy. Judge Hare offered toast to
heir host, Major Barley, and prefac.
ed it with a few appropriate and com.
plimentary remarks. He said his
greatest fault was that he was a little
too hasty and needed pulling up u lit
tie when he got too FESTIVE. He asked
the Grand Jury to look after him in
this respect, and closed his remarks by
saying that Major Barley was n
thorough gentleman in every respect,
and had made the best Sheriff Dallas
ever had.
