THE old Rough and Ready fire compnn

TIE old Rough and Ready fire company
the company that has earned the cogno-
men of the "old reliable" will give New
Years Eve Ball, which they reasonably
hope everybody will encourage, and great
many attend. Like other organizations Of
its kind in Caro-, IL is compelled to run
itself" and that thing cant be done very
successfully without the encouragement OF
the people, The committee Of managers
will, therefore, wait upon our citizens with
tickets, and as the price is only one dollar
each, they think they ought to sell at least
400 or 500. The ball will be grand al-
fair and nobody who attends will regret
his small investment.

Quite an unusual amount of aquatic sport
was furnished the immense gathering which
assembled at the New Lake Fad, last Thursday
evening, to witness the regatta under the
auspices of the St. John Rowing Club. The
! weather wss pleasant, the lake smooth and the
rowers in excellent condition. Shortly after
four O'Clock, the first race for single soul
shells, distance one mile and return, was called,
and won by r. G. Musgrove. The second race
three-fourths mile and return (single-scull
wherries) was won by G. Soniat. In the third
race double scull shels), same distance as the
second, the boat Elmna came in ahead of the
Anna. Many assert that the position of the
+ boats at the home-stake would have been re-
Il versed had not Mr.. Elliott of the Anna crew
+ been taken sick and a substitute placed at the
q last moment. The boat c. II. Slocomb won
I the fourth race which was for four-oared gigs
distance mile and return. The last race,
owing to an accident to the row.lock of the
Alice, did not come off until near dark. The
boat John Glynn Jr. came in winner of this
race in 13 81, being one hundred yards ahead
of the Alice. The crowd then dispersed high

Last Thursdsy morning the children of the

Down In field. ope day n. June.
The flowers all bloomed together.
Rave one, who tried to hide herself,
And dropped. that pleasant weather.
A robin, who had flown too high
And felt little lazy.
Was resting near this buttercup
Who wished she we're daisy.
For daisies grow 80 trig and tall.
She always had passion
For wearing frills around her neck
In just the daisies fashion.
And buttercups must always be
The same old tiresome COLOR.
While daisies dress In gold and white,
Although their gold IL duller
" Dear robin" said this sad young flower.
Perhaps you'd not mind trying
To find nice white friil for me
Some day when you are flying.
!" You silly thing" the robin said;
think you must be crazy,
I'd rather be my honest self
Than any made-up daisy.
+" You're nicer in your own bright gown;
The little children love you;
Be the best buttercup you can.
And think no flower above you.
I" Though swallows leave me out OF sight;
We better keep our places.
Perhaps the world would all 60 wrong
With one too many daisies.
/" Look bravely up into the sky
And be content with knowing
That God wished for buttercup
just here. where you are wing"
