Frank AXE and wife were given
party ut Winkleback's hall Monday
evening last. 1t was attended by our
best citizens and was pronounced
perfect success by everybody. Mr..
AXE has had a wood contract this
summer, has performed its conditions
and he and his lady depart with the
best wishes of our citizens. In social
circles they have been considered Eau
fait." Among those present were
Judge Waldron, George Fletcher, Alex
Simpson, Mr.. and Mrs. Gilman, Joe
Fitzgerald, Mrs. NJ. A. Mullaly, Major
Cavansh, c. v. Smith and lady. John
Van Setback, Mr.. and Mrs. Currin,

can not now recall. 1t was very
pleasant social event, the like of which

music was excellent, being furnished
by George Newton and Hugo Bay

Mackey did the calling. His young
bride was present. She is Il very fine
looking lady and as good as she looks.
About IL O'Clock bountiful repast
Was spread at he Alturas. Each party
who partook thereof used the most ex-
pressive OF adjectives in bespeaking
appreciation. There WAS nothing
strained in the demeanor OF the merry
participants nor conversely was there
| loose ness OF manners. 1t seemed to
be all that the most aesthetic could in
imaginings desire. At least, if appear
ances went for anything, there We're
many happy hearts at that festive
board.
