surprise party was rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. N. M. Freeman on Monday evening
by their hosts of warm friends, the occasion
being the anniversary of their tin wedding.
Some of the more interested ones had made
all the necessary arrangements and it was
generally understood that they should con-
gregate at the school house at eight O'Clock
P NJ. AT nine O'Clock large and very in
teresting party had met and after quietly
perfecting all necessary arrangements they
departed for the home of their unsuspecting
friends who were about on the eve of retr-
ing for the night. The loud knock at the
door and the simultaneous rattle at the
window, with the clamorous voices outside,
made itself evident that somthing was about
to occur. The quiet family was stirred
with one excited impulse and the generous
and kind-hearted host rushed to the doc
to be confronted by multitude of joyous,
laughing friends who filed in by couples
and shook hands with the over-awed hostel,
who gave all cordial welcome under the ex-
citing circumstances. All wraps were hast
lily laid aside and the party having full pos
sion of the premises went about enjoying
themselves in a generous off handed way,
making every thing so perfectly agreeable
that not one present failed to be enthused
by the enjoyability of the occasion. The
house was filled to its utmost, capacity and
hilarity was depicted on every face and re-
ciprocated from every voice. Music, sing
ing, and sociable conversation mixed with
merry laughter made the enjoyable features,
all Of which were kept up until late hour.
The party were kindly served to fruit, con-
sisting of oranges and bananas, which were
enjoyed as hugely as you might suppose at
this season of the year. The merry guests,
onltaking their departure shook hands with
the happy bride and groom Of many years,
and all expressed the desire of their heart
when they wished that another ten years
would bring them all together for as enjoy
able a time as they had just spent.
R. Woods & Sons wish to call the atten-
ton of their numerous kind patrons to the
fact that they are the leaders in the line of
general merchandise, and that their prices
are lower than tho lowest. They have come
to Stay and they mean business, and sell at
rock bottom cash prices.
R. Woods & Sons at this place have gone
into wholesale trade on a small scale.
SCHOOL ELEcTIoN.-As usual the an
nual election for two directors for the
school board went by default, less than
fifty votes being cast. 1t is astonishing
that our citizens pay such little regard
to this most important matter-a board
which disburses halftheir taxes and cares
for all of their children in direction of
the most vital Importance. But so it
was this year, and so it has been every
year.
The directors whose terms had expired
were S. Pendergast and ]. B. Perkins.
There were no candidates, as such. in the
field and at the last moment wholly
without his knowledge and while he was
absent from the city, a number of the
friends of M. c. Kelsey voted for him to
succeed Mr.. Pendergast, but no atten-
ton was paid to the election and it went
BY default. Messrs. Perkins and Wood
bury being elected, the latter by the very
narrow margin of half dozen votes.
