johnson band. They were we'll received
and given a good supper. During the
evening, who should appear on the
scene but lot of ladies among whom
were the wives of several of the boys.
The ladies had not been asked to go
down, so they arranged trip a Ia leap
year and went on their own account.
They had nice supper at the hotel,
spent the evening very pleasantly, and
when they were ready, returned home
