key. Yum, yum!

Geo. Schultz's wooden wedding was cele-
brated last Monday. Several wooden pres
ents were given by admiring friends.
Among the articles were pair of old-fash-
Toned wooden shoes, of the regular Vaterland
pattern. We think, from a casual look at
them, that they measured about eighteen
inches in length, and are evidently intended
to answer for the whole family during house,
cleaning times.
We hope the p. X. band boys may reap

dred dollars year, and he doesn't propose

timely, perhaps our jail might have been in
need of repairs by this time. He certainly
was fully prepared to make jail delivery If
such were his desire.
The entertainment given last Thursday
evening in behalf of the Presbyterian Church
was most excellent in all respects. Unable
to attend, we cannot speak from actual OBJ
seryation, but those who did all speak SO
well of it that we can venture our commen-

the stereo- panoptician kept up his end to the
satisfaction of two of the biggest audiences
ever assembled in the Academy of music.
The arrangements were so well perfected
that everything passed off without jar. Mr..

The Wilson Minstrels gave good show
last Monday evening, and it was fairly well
patronized. The attendance would have
been much greater II letters from De Soto
