MIDDLE LICK ITEMS.

Nice weather for Christmas. We
should think it would be better trav-
cling over a chordroy road, through
swamps and forests, than travelling on
the highways at present. Rain "
since Monday morning early.
The corn gatherers have to sit by
their little fires and whistle now.
In spite of the rains and bad roads
the people of Middle Lick vicinity,
assembled together on Christmas eve
at the school house in said vicinity,
to get a peep at, and to see what Old
Santa and his o had for them.
There were three appropriate speech
es delivered by w. ii. Beal, George
Marsh and John Beal at the opening
of the meeting. Old Santa and his
son were then introduced to the au-
dience, with cheers and laughter from
the little folks. They then distribut-
ed the presents. After this, there
were two cakes voted, at five cents l
vote, one to the prettiest lady and the
other to the handsomest gentleman
present. The proceeds were to 60
into the treasury of the Middle Lick
Literary Society. The first cake was
voted to Miss Satla Marsh, of Middle
Lick and the other to Mr.. Lucious
Smith, of West Lick.
There was also a cob pipe voted to
Mr.. Albert Robinson, of Middle Lick
as being the stingiest man and a jack
knife to Mr.. Lucious Smith again, as
being the homliest man present. Ac-
cording to this, Lucious was both the
hansomest and homliest nan present;
don't know what they meant by this.
The Middle Lick Literary Society
is still going. A lively time last Sat
urday night.
The question for debate:
RESOLVED, That this country grant
no more dram shops outside of cor
porated towns.
1t was decided in favor of the neg
alive. B4
The sad new reached us this NORM
ing that Miss Matte Allison, of Mid
die Lick, is no more among us. She
has taken her flight to the little cot
tage belonging to Mr.. Jefferson
Asher. She has come to the conclu-
sion that it is not good for man to be
alone and was, yesterday, absolutely
spliced.

GOLDEN TROUPE.

The Golden Troupe under the
management of Martin Golden, prince
of managers, has tor the last three
nights favored the people of Mexico
with amusements unrivalled by any
troupe ever in Mexico. Pique was
played Monday night with unrivalled
effect to a large and fashionable audi
ence, and Tuesday night Lemons
was placed on the boards with even
greater effect. The audience was
convulsed with laughter throughout
the whole play. Last night the troupe
executed the difficult comedy "Our
Boarding House" which was met with
prolonged applause.
This troupe boasts ever better tai
lent than it did one year ago. Harry
Robinson is simply immense, as a
comedian he can't be beat, you can't
look at him without laughing at him.
Ray Mccain executes his caste with
perfection. IT he wants to bring down
the house all he has to do is to adj
just his glasses, shut one eye and then
try to look at the back of his head
Robinson, Mccain, Kittie Lougee
and Nettie Adams are ''fours' that
can't be beat. 1t is not necessary
fof us to pass any encomiums on
Martin Golden. His worth is appre-
ciated by all that ever heard him in
any character. Riley is inimitable,
in fact, they are ALL excellent per-
formers. Tonight the company
executes Rose Michel in five acts, q
