The Surveying Corps of the
Eureka Railroad arrived in our
town yesterday and closed their
survey at the prospective Depot
grounds near the Star Mills. They
express themselves as beng thor.
oughly satisfied with the route
found, and are confident that the
cost OF building will not exec ed the
amount contemplated. They start
cd back at once, and will run oyer
and reconsider portion OF the line
as they return.
The Festival on last evening
passed off very pleasantly and was
attended by perhaps the largest
crowd brought together IN our town
for many days. All seemed good,
humored and social, but, as no gon-
eral amusement had been provld ed a,
there was ayawning, uncomfortable
gap in tho pleasure of the evening
which We hope will be avoided in
future gatherings OF the kind. Tho
supper was excellent, as good as we
have ever stood up to, and done
great credit to the able committee of
ladies who gathered, prepared and
arranged it. Three tables were
filed before all in the house ha d
been accommodated, out so quickly
were the changes made that few had
reason TO complain, and all went
away filled with the spbstantials as
well as the delieaeies OF life. After
supper beautiful cake owas voted
to the prettiest young lady present
Miss Cassie Cocker being the one
who received majority of the votes
cast. Financially, the results were
very gratifying, something near ff-
ty dollars going into the treasury
for the completion of the N. e,
Church.
We are pleased to see the in.
creasing interest manifested at our
Murphy Meetings for the last few
nights. 1t is encouraging to all per-
sons in favor of good morals and
wholesome laws. The meeting on
last Tuesday night was well atten
ded and those present were fully
repaid for coming out, as the pro-
gramme was a good oae, well per
formed. Tho recitation by little
zella Armtage was nicely deliver
ed for child of hor age this was
followed by beautiful song from
Miss Mintie Crump. Then came
Miss Lucy Cory who read q we'll
selected piece, after which B. B..
Hudgins, Esq, delivered a ringing
speech on the violation of the whis-
ky laws at this place. The music,
by Misses Lulu GreenIee and Min
tie Crump-who, by the way, APP
pear to be the only young ladies in
town who are willing to exercise
their musical talent-was most ex-
ccllent at the close of the regu.
lar programme the question of hay
ing Il Festival was agitated and
unanimously carried-save by few
smart small boys who would do
credit to their pareNts and them.
selves by either remaining at home
or learning to behave themselves.
The Festival, which is set for The
2lst of the present month can be put
down as success, tho Murphys
know no such word as 'iail' in these
matters. The Committee Of AR.
rangements, as appointed by the
President, consists of Mcsdamcs
Flick, Armi:age and Crump, and
Mossrs. A. i. King, Newman and
Vance. We hopo thore will be a
good attendance on next Tuesday

specting the Fo. tival can be made.
