The latest of the series of socials
given in this neighborhood this winter
was held at the residence of Mr. Samuel
Hills on Friday evening last. There was
large company present. A very gener'
GUS and rclishable repast was served VI
which was followed by lengthy and
interesting program, consisting of music
speeches, &c. Mr.. d. McPhail gave q
fluent and forcibie speech, winding ur
with humorous reading in Scotch dia.
lect. MIR. McPhail seems to be a popular
speaker out here. Mr. Peter Cameron
spoke pointedly of the beneficial effects
of such gatherings. Mr.. Dobie gave an
impromptu address in which he uttered
some ringing sentiments of the right
kind. Brief remarks were offered by
several others and readings were given by
Messrs. w. Horne, VIC. Briggs and Peter
Cameron. As there was no lack OF
speakers. SO there seemed to be no scarci.
ty of musical talent. The Misses Hills
rendele ed several selections in very en-
tertaining manner as did also Miss Briggs
and Mrs. Carr. Mr.. Manson and Mr.. N
Carr, each gave humorous song that
was much enjoyed. Interesting recita
tons were given by Miss Mountain and
Mrs. Gibson. Mr.. Briggs performed tho
duties of chairman with not little
youthful vivacity. The people of this
neighborhood are determined to enjoy
themselves when they come together on
such occasions as this, and they can with.
out any trouble get up program at any
time as long as Clevelands inaugural
procession. Probably there is more
oratorical talent to the square mile in
this vicinity than any where else in the
county. When you take all the speakers
out OF a public gathering here you have
a very scanty audience left. At a recent
meeting ofthc debating society here the
question of Woman's suffrage was ably
argued ON both sides but decided in the
negative. Governor Pierce hearing OF
this at once vetoed the bill, and we do
not see how he could have done other
wise. THIS is aside from the point. The
social wasa success, the proceeds amount
ing to $17. Mr.. and Mrs. Hills and their
family omitted no effort to make the
evening pleasant for all and they sue
ceeded.
