covered as to be able to come home,
and was apparently doing we'll until
Saturday morning when the family
went to breakfast. She appeared to be
resting quietly, and Mr. Laury covered
her face with some mosquito bar. After
he had arisen from the table he went
to the bed and noticing a palor on her

found that while they were eating, or
perhaps before he covered her face, she
had peacefully fallen asleep in death.

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

Editor Register:-Although stran-
ger in your columns. I would like to
tell you of very pleasant social event
which occurred in your city on Satur-
day eve, the 26th inst.
At a seasonable hour party of young
people, mostly of lola, to the number of
10 or thereabouts, assembled at the res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Allen, to
celebrate the 18th birthday Of their
daughter Blanche. The young lady
herself having gone on Friday to Hum
boldt to spend her birthday with
friends there, it was genuine "sur-
prise" to her when she walked in on
them, having been sent for on some
trivial excuse.
After amusing themselves for an hour
or two with games, music and social
converse, they..were summoned to par
take of refreshments, such as Mrs. A.
knows well how to prepare. Having
done justice to this and enjoyed them
selves again for a short time, they de-
parted wishing Miss Blanche many
happy returns of the day, and leaving
some tokens of their regard for her.
She received from her father and
mother handsome dress pattern, from
other friends pair of fine shoes, pair
of vases, autograph albums, birthday
cards, etc.. etc. Her many friends will
join me in wishing that as the years
roll by each succeeding birthday anni-
versary may find her as happy and
rs the one just past.

of Salem, were placed before the con-

nominated by acclamation for Register

were similarly honOred with the nomi-

Speeches being in order, 8. d. Whit

modestly forward. Considering the
embarrassment greenbacker would
naturally labor under in being called
upon to address q democratic conven.

very good speech.
Mr.. Barnard, of Humboldt. was next
called upon. He was in favor of "bust.
