A Zig Eat.

Last Thursday Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Stock gave a dinner ia their new
boarding house, which was one of the
best served and best enjoyed ever
given in Esmeralda County. II is
customary to say in such cases that
the table greaned under the load of
delicacies, but this was good strong
piece of furniture, fully able to sus-
tain, without a moan, the bountiful
supply of eatables which was spread
before the guests. Cooking and serv-
ice were perfect, and if the eaters did
destroy large quantities of delicious
food their performance was at least
compliment to their host and hostess.
A number OF attorneys and representa-
tives of both local papers were pres
ert; nevertheless the party was com
paratively silent, all present apparently
preferring the pleasure of eating to
the joy of conversation. A theory in
explanation of the almost unanimous
silence is that the lawyers did not
want to commit themselves by saying
anything, tho BULLETIN representa-
tive had nothing to say, and the fellows
from the other paper had gone so long
without eating anything that hunger
compelled strict attention to laying
in supply while opportunity offered.
Notwithstanding the conversational
tranquility, the evening passed most
pleasantly, the click of the knives and
forks making an agreeable music,
to which the jawbones of the diners
wagged silent accompaniment.
Everybody left thoroughly satisfied
with themselves and everybody else,
and slight misgivings concerning
future fits of indigestion from over
eating did not prevent the guests sin
cercly wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Stock
every success ia their new enterprise.
