an ice cream supper in their hall last
Friday night, to which there was a
large attendance of ladies and gen.
tlemen. 1t was the occasion of the
Goth anniversary Of the order in
America, and was one Of the most
pleasant and enjoyable affairs of the
season, the entertainment being en-
livened with music by the Cornet
band, interspersed with singing.
The supper was splendid to say the
least, and for a social jolly gathering
it has not been equalled in Elk

Our fellowtownsman NJ. w. Sheafe,
is in luck this time. He informs us
that he has been awarded the con-
tract to furnish the government one
million pounds of flour, on a bid
sent in at the annual letting, which
took place in New York a few days
ago. He was offered one million
more at the same figures, but being
modest and retiring, refused the offer.
Considering the number of bids and
anxiety to get the contract, we feel
it a duty to congratulate Mr.. Sheafe
in being able to get away with the
spoils. To fill the contract will take
over 10000 bushels Of wheat, and
must of necessity raise the price of
wheat in Union county. Mr.. Sheafe
informs us that he wants wheat at
once, for which he will pay a high
price. Farmers should make note
Of this, ane bring in their grain be-
fore he has purchased enough to fill
his contract. He will pay more
than any market within a hundred
miles of Uni on county, for a short
time.

residing down on the Missouri bot
tom, and had to return home about
midnight. The route he travelled
lay close to the river bank, and trust
ing to his pony team to take him
safely home, he paid very little at
tention to the road. He says he was
half asleep, when all at once he heard
the splash Of crumbling banks as
they fell into the water beneath. He
stopped the team to investigate, and
found that one wheel Of his buggy
was less than a foot from the edge Of
the bank which was then crumbling
into the river. He says that when
he discovered the situation he was
nearly helpless with fright, and will
hereafter keep at safe distance from
the banks Of that treacherous
stream.
