The opening ball at Dawson comes
Off tonight, given by the Arcadia
Company in their spacious ball room.
A good crowd from The city will be
present, quite a number having al
ready gone over and others will yet
go. This promises TO be the grandest
ball ever given at Dawson and every
effort will be made TO make IL a sig
nal success and under the management
of such men as Messrs. Holeman &
Priichoti, nothing but success could
be expected.
The ielephones-bells and all-have

happy. The instruments will be
placed in position in few days.

az basis the wheat crop of the pres
ent season will DO the largest grown
in this county for several years. The
corn is IN very fine condition aud
gives promise of an abundant yield.
With fruit plentiful, as the prospects

Of the day, and for dinner they took |
in the Cincinnati babecue which is
always on hand on these festive oc-

The practice of shooting upon the
streets in the southern part of the

mon and unless il is broken up it will
soon be dangerous TO pass up South |

much annoyed because Of the failure

The prospects are now that there
