Last Thursday evening was an
evening that will never be forgot
ten by the lovers of sociability who
congregated at the elegant parlors
of Mrs. Ed. sehon, in response to
invitations issued by her accomp-
Iished daughter, Miss Lucy, only a
few days before. All engaged in
dancing at an carly hour and con-
tinuedr until midnight, when re-
frcshments were served Ia mode.
Miss Lucy, the gifted hostess ex-
hibits rare skill in the management
of an evening party, and as each
couple took their departure they
literally showered her with compli-
ments, each proclaiming by far the
happiest evening of the season.

GARDEN SPOT OF THE EARTH.-As
a rule, the West virginian who is
drawn to the West in search of the
fabulous El Dorado, or of some fer
tile plain whore cereals are of spon-
taneous growth and yield an inn
monse harvest, comes back after
few years and settles down ON his
humble farm, better satisfied with
his surroundings and opportunities
here. He finds the country created
more upon an equality than he sup
posed and taking everything into
consideration, if any part of it has
been particularly favored, it is
West Virginia. Land may lie
more suitable for cultivation in the
West, but building and fencing
material is scarce and the country
is not near SO healthy there as here.
The man who was reared in the
pure air of the West Virginia hills
and has quaffed the limpid waters
of her mountain streams, can never
endure the arid winds of the west
ern plains nor tolerate the stagnant
waters of the swamps.
West Virginia is the State above
all others in which to be healthy
and happy and grow rich. The
man who goes out to find a better
country will come back a poorer
but wiser man and declare that
this is the best and most favored
country under the sun.
