supper last Wednesday night was as pleasant

set IN about eight o'clock in the evening.
W. K. Edgar, Esq, made a very pleasant
welcoming address, and j. Ed. F. Edwards,
Esq, OF Fredericktown, entertained the au-
dlence with short and well. .digested speech
upon the "Good of the Order" The affair
was enlivened with musical selections on the
piano by Miss NJ. Schneider and Mrs. W. W.
Nall, excellently rendered. Then the dance
and, afterward, the supper, prepared and
served by the proprietor and attaches Of the
Arcadia House. The tables were tastefullv
arrayed and viands enticingly displayed,
and the approaching crowd did ample jns-
tice to them. The music for the dance was
made excellent through the efforts of Mr..
Cebulka, of st. Louis, an accomplished mu-
sician and perfect gentleman. We hope
that we have by no means seen him for the
last time. About O'Clock 4. NJ. the dancers
vanished, the lights went out, and we sought
home and repOse. We made straight
"chute" thitherwards and found them in
Stdnter.
