Tuesday Nights carnival-Flaunt.
ing Fashion and Furious Fun.

opening ball of tae season at Elk
mont last Tuesday night. 1t had
been announced several days be-
fo-ehand and quite a delegation at
tended from Pulaski, outside of
those who are spending the season
there. Some two hundred guests
are upon the hill, and we would
think from the heroic manner in
which they drive through the days
and plunge into the nights that
health was on a rampage. The
scenes enacted in the hinipg-room
when the bell summons the guests
are thrilling to every one except the
proprietors. What appetitesl They
are measured only by the bounte-
Gus hospitality of the hosts, Messrs.
McCallums and Hobson. Mr.. r
ii. McLaurine presides 10 the office
and the wants of guests are antici-
pated and supplied with great aiac-
rity. Every room in the large ho-
tel and every cabin on the place is
crowded, but, like a bus, there are
always splendid accommodation
for one more. The following is an
