opinion, are hoping her stay to be long,
her departure, never; but that Shenan'

who the captor shall be is the suspense.
The festival held last Friday and Satur
dav nights, for the benefit Of the Masonic
fraternity, passed off very pleasantly and
was quito literally patronized. The
ladies looked their sweetest, and did theiI
very best, in fact pleasure and happiness
ruled supreme. Bob Burke and Sam
Beach were truly happy. To the generous
public and the fair ladies the fraternity
unite in appreciation, and extend thanks.
The proceeds amounted to about thirty
dollars.
A prominent merchant of this place
who prides himself on having any article
that can be called for, was forced to ac'
knowledge a few days since, that for once
he could not make good his boast. A
young lady from the country stepped III
and asked for a small bottle Of gimletseed
oil. With a perplexed look on his face
our merchant made careful search Of bis
whole establishment, going over it two or
three times, but was forced at last TO own
MP that they were Just out, and directed
the lady. with tears in his eyes, to another
store. He then went at once and ordered
the article by telegraph, saying that the
next person would have to be pretty
dip" to catch him out OF that Oil.
Owing to the funeral occasion Of Mrs
Lindamood, in tho neighb orhood, on the
4th Sun day of last month, the all day
services, in the grove Of ID. s. Bowman
was interrupted, Rev. Barney having at
tended the funeral exercises. Somewhat
disappointed, we were, but passed the
day very pleasantly as we again cast our
selves upon the hospitality Of our friends
to whom we are again thankful. A rain
threatening, about two o'clock, the entir'
assembage were driven to the shelter o.
the house and barn of these kind people
We must say, we, at the house, were IN
terestingly entertained by "Shave," AZ
organst; Joe solo, and "Mike," bass q
trio hard to beat.
On account OF the interruption by The
funeral and rain, we we're favored with 4
sermon by Rev. Barney at o'clock.
Last week the HERALD gave brie
notice of the breaking into and robbery o
Mr.. A. j. Hopewell's jewelry establish
ment, in this place, on Wednesday night
June 9th Since then Mr.. IIopewell ha
furnished us with list of the article
stolen as near as he could come at it,
Among the stolen properly were 80 watch
es, six of them gold, and 6 belonging t.
customers Two trays of gold and flle'
rings, several dozen watch charms and
few plated watch chains. The burglar
effected an entrance by boring hole il
the door through which they could Sill
the strong bolt that held the door. 1t il
thought that these thieves came into tow
horseback, as two riding switches were
found on the counter the next morning
and several of our citizens heard tw,
parties ride into town that night. So IA
no clue has been found to indicate lwh
the thieves were, but it is the genera
impression among our people that tn
scoundrel Is were well acquainted with tn
town and Mr.. HopewelPs establishment

County.
