! Ball and Banquet at Csntralla.
As wassannonnced in the LEDGER

|. As waSsannonneed IN the LEDGER
week ago, a reporter Of this paper
stated that if he did not have to go
up in a balloon. he would be present
at the Ball in Centralia last Thursday
night. Well we did not have to
ascend, as the wind was too high for
US to sail among the clouds, and, as
"a mattersof course, we were present
at che Ball, and the Banquet given at
the Globe Hotel, by that prince of
landlords, Jack Dyer. As we were
honored with a "through ticket we
participated in everything. In the
ball room we met some of the fairest
of the fair. The elite were there
from Moberly, Columbia, Macon City,
Carrollton and Mexico. Everything
dazzled with brilliancy and all was
gaiety. s About sixty couples were
present. The music was furnished
by the Moberly String Band-one of
the best in the State-none better.
We sailed into the may dance-and
it vas t'all hands round" with US
till one o'clock, when we secured the
loveliest and cutest ladies of Gen.
-tralia and repaired to the spacious
dining room of the Globe Hotel to
partake of the ''good things of the
land" In regard to the bounteous
repast spread before us, we will quote
from the Cent? ALA Guard, and will
vouch for every word as being as
true as steel: 'sThe supper was
certainly q feast such as would tempt
the gods, and the lavish and magnifi-
cent liberality displayed in the ar
rangement Of the tables, the assort-
ment, variety and profusion of rare
and tempting viands, served to make
the occasion one long to be remem-
bered, and proved to the assembled
guests that the well-known reputation
of the Globe Hotel, as a first-class
house was justly earned. The supper
table could not be surpassed by any
hotel in the State, nor any banquet
we have ever seen. 1t embraced ev-
erything that could please the eye or
tempt the appetite and the decoration
was magnificent. In the center Of
the table was roast pig, ornamented
and placed in a natural position,
while three immense cake pyramids
near three feet high lowered from the
table, at the center and each end, the
whole being literally covered from
base to apex with wreathes, boquets
and garlands of greenhouse leaves
and flowers in a natural state. At
equal distances stood three fruit pyr-
amids towering still higher, literally
loaded down with oranges, bananas,
and grapes, while candies, nuts, etc.,
were on every hand in great profu-
sion."
Jack Dyer is one of the most ac-
conmodating and popular landlords
to be found anywhere and makes his
guests feel perfectly at home" We
are under many obligations to him
for the many court estes shown us
during our stay In Centralia. Also,
to Messrs. Rodemyer and Threlkeld
for many favors. We remained in
Centralia over Friday, but were in
a dfeam--as it were-dreaming of
Mumm' s Extra Dry, oysters, cakes,
pies, &C., &c. Such heavenly hours
don't come every day-if they did,
our lives would soon vanish away.
As we have often said, Centralia is
the iveliest and most enterprising
city Of its size in the State, and it
does enc good to ,mingle with her
hospltable citizens.
