LAST Friday evening the members
of the Episcopal Church gave a very
enjoyable lawn sociable at the resi-
dence of M. w. Sheafe. To say hat
it was a pleasant affair, would not dc
the subject justice. A large platform
was erected in the grove which was
used by those who wished to dance,
and the way the lovers of that amuse-
ment enjoyed themselves would
make those who dance in poorly
ventilated halls turn pale. The
music for the dance was furnished by
a band of young men, among whom
were Messrs. Sheafe, Smith, Holt,
Boylin and VanDee. Finer music
we have not listened to for many a
day. The grounds were lit up with
Chinese lanterns, torches, lamps and
lots of other light-giving things. AT
about ten, ice cream and cake were
served. We are glad that friend
Sheafe has led out in the matter OF
lawn sociables, and as his was a
grand success, others may follow
with those enjoyable entertainments.

We heard an amusing incident

We heard an amusing incident
the other day, that occurred up il
Clay county in connection with tn
celebration on the Fourth. An ole
elder, who has been an attentive rea'
der of2the Vermillion Republican fo1
years, was chosen to read the Decla,
ration of Independence. When he
mounted the rostrum, he said:
"Ladies and g%cntlen, 1879 years
ago our forcfathers gave us this
glorious document I'm about to
read, and"
"Elder, I believe you have made a
mistake" said a gentleman sitting
near the stand.
at may be-" said the elder,
scratching his head. "Well then
1899 years ago"
With this startling announcement
the audience exploded. which gave
the old gentleman time to get his
bearings. He says he never was
much on cyphering anyhow.
LAST Monday we took in the cir
Gus at Sioux City, in company with
abou fifty Elk Pointers, and to say
that the day was warm would not
do the subject justice. At times the
atmosphere was so hot thatthe ther-
mometer blushed, and thu people
shed all the wearing apparel modes
ty would permit. The show was
good, in a way, the advertising first
class, the elephants built as usual
with tails at the wrong end, and the
clowns sweat in their efforts to say
witty things. To Sioux City it was
a great day, and no doubt helped
some diminutive statesmen out of the
woods. There was a lemonade and
pop stand every few feet, and the
way the mouths of the proprietors
went off half cooked would make a
cast-iron monkey weep. One lemon
to, barrel ofwater was thought ex-
travagant, and the nearest the ice
came to some stands was when an
ice wagon passed by on the street.
We earned all we saw, and are now
very thankful that it cooled off be-
fore we melted.

By reading a communication from
Lennox, which appears in this is
sue, you will see some of the tricks
of that man Whitney we mentioned
two weeks ago. The article coming
direct from where he has been
operating, is worthy of more than
a passing notice, and we wish it lis.
tinctly understood that we now con-
slider what we said of him too weak
for that braying ass. We repeat
when a man, like Whitney, lodges
his own taxes for years and then
seeks to create strife between the
people and the board of Commiss-
toner's when the latter do an act for
the public good, shows himself to be
a contemplate fraud, with only
sense enough to howl monopoly.
In his speech at the Finn school
house he charged that we only pub
lished what part of the proceedings
we thought would suit certain To-
calities. He knew he lied. If he
would earn an honest two dollars
and pay for the COURIER a year in
advance he would gain some light
on the subject Of what is going on
in Union county, but as it is he is
brainless enough to believe anything
he hears against the acts of our coun-
ty officials, and then, like a vender
of slush, he peddles it from door to
door. He'll is full of men with
Whitney's traits Of character, and
this side Of that winter resort the
books of ruined merchants show no
credits. We brand Whitney as a
dead-beat, a fraud, a SOLDERING
croaker, and a man, whom, once
trusted, will always be your debtor.

Our Adventist friends, by a pray
erful course of figuring, hit on last
Saturday as the end of the world.
One pious old fellow, with more of
that kind of religion than common
sense, dropped into our office Friday
night to hint that before the setting
of another sun, we, in company with
the rest of mankind, would expert
ence some very warm weather. He
happened to be somewhat excited
over his trip into eternity, and we
concluded to watch him during the
next day. Saturday morning dawn
ed bright and clear, with the pros
pect of a pleasant day. In the after
noon we strolled around to the old
mans house, and found him setting
on the roof of the woodshed. Prob
ably he wanted to get that much Of
a start, and did not want to butt his
brains out going through the root.
The thermometer MARKED 80 in the
shade and on hat roof it must have
been 200. But he sat there until
sundown, when we say him slipping
up a back alley to lay in a stock of
provisions. On Monday an ac-
quaintance met him, and remarked
that their prophesy had again miss
ed fire as usual. The old fellow said
he failed to see how it could be, as
they had the thing figured down TO
a dead certainty; in fact the signs
they went by fixed the time. He
was asked whether he was ready to
60, to which he replied that he was.
His questioner said he was very
anxious to have the twenty-five dol.
lars he owed him. The old gentle
man coughed, stammered, and re-
marked that he had to hurry home
as his wife told him to hurry back
at once. But such is life. Religious
fanatacism is the most laundering
and unreasonable of anything in the
world. When a man permits a Ger.
tain course Of reasoning to impair
his mind and cloud his life, the issue
he chases is a curse equal in force to
that of inidelity.
