The G. A. II. Social and Ball was com
plete success, as to numbers, for the opera
house was filled to over flowing. 1t was the
biggest gathering ever held in the Academy.
1t had been the intention to have the fore
part of the affair as a musical entertainment.
A good piano and organ had been provided
and an excellent string band, and the Iron
ton brass band. A number of our most
estimable young ladies had been invited to
sing or play, and they promised to, but some
of them, from unavoidable cause, no doubt,
failed to appear. But it is due and credit
able to Misses Anna r. Newman, Carrie
Davis, George Muffly, Addie Petit, Naomi
Goulding, Lulu Fairchild and Mrs. f. P.
Adams, that they were present and favored
the large and mixed audience With some ex-
cellent songs and Instrumental music. The
audience acds mixed, for it was composed of
old and young, of both sexes, from the
3-year "kid" to the old man and woman of
IS. The ball was a success and will long be
remembered by those who took part in it.
The string band, under the management of
MIR. Joseph Henson and Alfred Henson,
furnished the excellent music for the
dancers. The Ironton Boys Cornet Band
furnished the old soldiers and the crowd
gathered with their good music. Everything
passed off peacefully and quietly, as it should
be at such places. Mr.. and Mrs. e. R. Peck,
of Hotel Peck, furnished the supper for the
ball. While there might have been better
management for the first part of the affair,
the G. A. r. members say that on next 10th
of May they will leave no room fol COM
plant, as experience is q good school and
they hope to have things in better shape.
The members return thanks to our enter
prising business firm of Baldwin Bros. for
the donation of Post flag pole, which they
put on Post headquarters.
