Stevens County tribune., 1878-10-31

The beautifully damp-snow fell in large
quantities last Tuesday, but, with the
exception of one man trundling q wheel
barrow, we did not see anyone having
much fun OF profting by the snowfall.
The next excitement is grand mas
querade ball. 1t is the intention at present
to have it Thanksgiving evening, and as
the committee in charge never do things
by halves, we may anticipate high old
time.n
After the entertainment last Thursday
evening. the seats we're removed, and as
many as desired participated in a dance
the music for the occasion being furnished
fly the "Tennesseeans string band.
Quite number participated, and had a
very enjoyable time
A meeting Of parties interested in the
formation of reading club was held last
Friday evening, and the club was organ.
ized. 1t is the intention to give readings
during the winter season, and any desiring
10 become members can have their names
enrolled on payment Of q small fee.
r Messrs. Ccgle & Dekay had a snash-up
at their elevator Tuesday, which com
PEELED them to " close down. until repairs
could be made. An extra pressure caused
by the shafting being out of line, broke
the eogs in gear wheel. This was re-
paired, and will serve until new one can
be procured.
A letter from Mr. T, G. Hodgson was
received too late for insertion We are
sorry, as it was forcible appeal for the
support of Mr.. Sanford; but as we have 10
go to press in the forenoon of Thursday in
order to mail Big Stone and Traverse pa.

WeSelsewhere publish aQArd from Mr..
! E. w. Leonard, and document signed by
many leading citizens, rebuking Mr.. Elmer
for the recent uncalled for attacks on Mr.
Leonard. This must close this kind Of
correspondence through these columns,
and we take this opportunity of saying
what we should have said last week, viz
that we think Mr.. Elmer had no grounds
i for the assertions made.
Jack Morris never fails us-we car
always rely on his furnishing an item
Last Thursday, he was about fifteen min
utes behind time for that days issue
while burning around his hay stables, {
sudden gust Of wind drew some spark
into the vicinity of the stacks, and they
were burned. This makes about eighty
tons OF his hay burned this season. Jack
we like items, but you need not sacrifc,
your property for the sake of furnishing
one.
The many friends Of Mr.. J. D. Goos
| will be sorry to hear of an unfortunat
accident which occurred last Thursda,
evening, whereby he dislocated his shoul
der. A canvas covering over some furni
ture was accidentally set on fire by SOM
person carclessly throwing lighted ciga
stub on it. The furniture had been moyet

shed Immediately in rear Of the ball. Mr.
Good, while endeavoring to put out th
4 fire, accidentally Slipped and fell from tn
roof, his shoulder striking tbs ground
The arm was Immediately reset, and he i
as comfortable as can be expected; bat
being very muscular man, the injury
all the more painful.

II The Tennessee Jubilee Singers " col
cert at Goods Hall last Thursday cvenin
was we'll attended, and we think judgin
from the frequent applause that the el
tertainment gave general satisfaction I'll
singing was hardly up to our expectation
but the low ceiling and crowded la
probably destroyed the effect Yet the
are good musicians, and under more favo
able circumstances would doubtless giy
better satisfaction. The specialties intr,
duced arc an innovation that does not seel
exactly IN place, and to our taste the ente
tainment would be benefited by their omi
J sion. The old jubilee songs, as rendered
are amusing, and can only be rendered b
" "darkies,' they arc the complete embod
rent of The sublime and ridiculous, for
person feels amused at the simplicity
absurdity and extravaganza Of both words
