VALLEY. Park.
Last Tuesday your correspondent
had the pleasure of visiting "Valley
Park" farm, the residence of Jonathan
Tinker, on Gypsum creek. The occa-
sion was a good, old-fashiOned house.
warming in his new house. The fes-
tivities began at s o'clock in the even
ing. Tripping the light fantastic toe
was the first amusement on the pro-
gramme. Monsieur Fleck, of Salina,
assisted by Louie, and two other in
struments, furnished the music.
About $50 persons were present !;
young and old mingled together, and
showed by their joyous laugh how
pleasantly the evening was passing.
At II o'clock the dancing ceased for
an hour and supper was served. Hot
coffee, turkey, chicken, ham, bread
and butter, and bushels of cake, were
all served in the most approved style.
After supper the music commenced
again, and with it part third of the
prOgramme-dancing.
About l o'clock loud shouting was
heard in the distance; small squads
Immediately sailed forth and discov-
cred load of Salina boys, who had
been wandering around on the prairie
for several hours, trying to find the
road. Everybody was away from
home at every house at which they
stopped TO inquire the way. Echo an
swered their knock ut the door. They
had a candidate Misunderstanding
else with them, and this accounts for
their being lost. A few crumbs were
picked up for them, and the way in
which they ate them showed that the
party started from home before supper
time.
Just as the stars began TO grow dim
in the east and the ROSTERS shrili note
announced the coming day, the dane
ing ceased with the notes of LOuie's
violin. All went home happy. with
but one common feeling-fhat the
party was the largest and happiest
ever given on Gypsum creek.
Jonathan has just completed the
largest and most elegant residence in
the upper Gypsum. Last year he built
the largest barn in the country, and
laid out and fenced a beautiful park.
in which he keeps deer and antelope.
Hedge fences, excellent springs Of
water, hundreds Of fruit and shade
trees, and the fine buildings, place his
farm among the best improved in Sa-
line county. His good example is be-
ing speedily followed by his neigh
bors. This is what gives the Gypsum
valley the name Of "ihe garden spot
Of saline county," MAT.
