| A Masquerade Ball in a country
place, like this, is something unusual
and that it should vie in brilliancy
with larger and more favored places
certainly reflects great credit upon the
community and those having it il
charge.
On Tuesday evening, March 11th
Union Hall was very tastefully
trimmed with flags, evergreens and
chinese lanterns and brilliantly light.
ed, and, as seen from. the spectators
gallery, during the mazy dance, pre-.
sented a rare scene of beauty, many
Of the costumes presenting an elegant
and gorgeous appearance.
About 10 couples occupied the mair
floor and 110 tickets were sold foI
the spectators gallery. To accom-.
modate these temporary balcony
was built on the north side of the
hall. Parker's Orchestra, that un-
rivaled band of musicians, furnished
the music. Refreshments were serv.
ed during the evening upon the large
stage. Nothing occurred during the
evening to mar the pleasure of the
occasion. 1t was a treat not often
met with in country place. The
net receipts which will be used in re-
pairing the hail, will be about $50.
