Brilliant Manner.
R,ported for the Word.
N5g-The scribe wishes to return
his best thanks to the Misses Brayfogle for
courtesy of an invitation to be present at
the delightful dance given By them Fri
day evening. 1t is seldom that more
brilliant or congenial company Is assem-
bled for social purposes, even on the
Ridge.
boy The one disagreeable feature was
the TACT that Rube Cypert broke two hddie
strings, and having, as he claimed, lost
box of new strings on the way to the dance
be was unabls to furnish music such as
the occasion warranted. The truth is that
RUDE WAS up TO his old tricks, and made
frequent visits to bottle he had hlddeB
nader the sice porch. Look out, Rube;
Won are aot the only man in this neck O.
woods who can play Dan Tucker" and
crowd the notes OF waltz together like
dried spples on 3 string. sea,
ESys We must say we were not little
surprised to find several of the StoVer's
Mil crowd present as big as life and twice
es natural. To our inquiry Kate Bray
fogle informed us that they were tnere
without invitation. Communicating these
facts TO a few of the Ridge boys the fes-
tivities we're postponed for the time being
and the StOver's Mill party given three
minutes TO take their ladies and abdlcate
or fight. True to their low instincts they
choose to fight, and fight 1t was.
EFy@We regard it most unladylike for
Susan Simperson to strike your correspond
ent over the head with a barrel stave, 9th
erwise the man we had selected as our
especial meat would have known what it
was to be hurled with great violence
through the window. As it was, ne got
the better of US, and we kaOw more about
going through window backwards cur
self than he did. 1t was conceded on all
sides, however, that we kept him at his
knitting, and in two weeks at the furth-
est we will be ourself sgain.
Rsy- Miss SimpeIsOn's unWarranted in-
terrence let down the bArs to the Ridge
girls, IS a matter of course, and the way
they piled into the crowd from the mill
was delight to behold. The correspond
ent was not in the house all the time, as
will be gathered from above, but he was
able to take few hasty notes through
the window. We think Rachel Brayf0gle
did some of the prettiest hitting that has
been seen on the Ridge this season. She
knocked down two of the mill party cold
with a hatirOn and dragged at least one of
them out on to the east porch by the hair
of the head.
RSs@The little srcimmage resulted as
have all its predecessors, namely, IN the
utter and awful rout of the Mill
crowd. male and female. This is the third
time they have intruded upon Ridge So
ciety within the past six weeks, and each
time one-half of the gang has helped the
other half home. Ole would imagine
that by and by they will get it through
their heads that they are not regarded as
moving in the same circle as Ridge PEG
pie.
ESy~Of the ball itself it is supeTfuOus
to speak. Its every feature was managed
in the most happy manner, and there was
absolutely nothing lacking to make it an
event long to be remembered with the
kee1est pleasure.
ETy-In closing we want to deny en-
phalically the rumOr that your correspond
emit lost an ear. Our antagonist exhibited
something at the Mill which he claimed
was our ear, but we have absolute proof
that he stopped at the slaughter house or
his way home that night and faxed an ear
for the purpose. Shame on such conduct,
say We.
