The social gathering at the hotel
on Friday evening, seemed to be
greatly enjoyed by all present. Our
landlord and his better half deserve
great credit for so generously enter
tanning, at so small a price. One
very noticeable feature Of the enter
tainment was the entire absence of
all stimulants, not so much as a
single glass of beer; the only thing
to be regretted in connection with the
affair, was the seeming effort to
draw the color line.
