have never had in McMinnville be-
fore. 1t is the "Mikado tea" to be
given at Mrs. Mary Hill's residence
tonight (Friday). We haven't the
slightest idea what a "Mikado tea" is
like, but Judging from the prepara-
tions which have been going on for
several days this will be quite novel.
AT all events the best way for you to
find out all about it will be for you to
go around dtoninghtand see, feel, taste
or hear it, which ever of the senses it
may cater to. Everyone contempla-
ting attendance may safely anticipate
a good time.

Clarksville, is here to spend the sum-
mer with his sister, Mrs. Jas. S. Bar
ton. Mr.. Mathes is organizing class
in vocal music. which he will teach
at the Presbyterian church in this
place. His price will be two dollars
for term of twenty lessons. He is a
good vocalist, and all who wish to
learn vocal music should avail them
selves of this opportunity.
"A Lebanon CORRESPOND of the

Ala, with his bride, Miss Kate Nor
man. A few friends and relatives
were entertained at the residence OF
the grOOm's mother last night. Mr..
kirkpatrick is a gentleman of high
social and business standing, and his
superior in business qualifications

This editor remembers the bride as
very highly esteemed friend in
'sweet days gone by" and wishes
her all the happiness in the new rela-

could crave. Feeling assured that
the sweet and amiable little girl of a
decade ago has developed into a more
charming and loveable woman, we
congratulate Mr.. Kirkpatrick upon
the prize he has won.
