BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT.
Handsome Reception Given Mr.. and Mrs.
W. f.. Addison Wednesday Evening.

4 brilliant reception was given Mr. anu
Mrs. W. E. Addison by their friends We'd
nesdav evening There are few places i'll
the country. even of much larger proper
tions than Big Stone Gap. that could have
made such display. There were ut least
fifty persons present. One would have
fancied himself at one Of the select par
ties of White Sulphur. The ladies were
handsomely dressed; the gentlemen APP
pearcd in their swallow tails; the music
was good and the dancing graceful and
exhilcrating A handsome lunch was
served about II o'clock, and champagne
contributed to the jollity and delight OF
the occasion, though really no such con-
trlution was needed. TOasts were drunk
to the bride aud groom, c. L. Sears offer
ing the first toast in q few words, which
was happily seconded by Mr.. {. y. Hardin
and which was responded to in graceful
and appropriate manner by Mr. W. +.
Addison. Mr. Howard Bullitt and other
gentlemen got off some very witty remarks
that set the table in u roar. Everyone
who attended expressed their delight, and
evidently enjoyed the intellectual. US well
as the material rcpast which was pre-
scented.
1t seems there was no committee on i'll
vitatioms, and the Reception Committee
found, at the last moment, that there were
not sufficient number of invitations to
cover the list, even of Mr.. Addison clos
est friends, and consequently many were
omitted, with the hope that they might be
seen personally, but owing to the short
ness of the time, the Committee found 1t
impossible TO supply the omission. Inc
result was that many of Dir. Addison's
most intimate friends failed to receive
either a written or IL verbal invitation.
The greetings to the bride were cordial.
She comes directly from the classic pre-
cncts of the University of Virginia, and
brings with her Il beauty and an intellect
uality which will at once adorn and en-
liven the society OF Big Stone Gap.

Artificial comb-Honey q Myth,

Artificial Comb-Honey q Myth.
From Popular Science.
The seasons of1887 and 1883, espe-
cially the latter, were unpropitious for
the busy little bee" and yielded but
little honey. The crop was q general
failure, not only in America but in
Europe. The modicum o fhoney pro-
duced, especially Of comb-honey, was
soon exhausted, and the dealers as
well as customers, North, South, East
and West, were crying out for honey.
The producers We're inundated with
letters and orders which they could
not fill. Now, here was the grand
opportunity for the manufacturers
Of artificial honey" If the article
could be sold ''at an immense profit
at half the price, of the genuine arti-
Gle, as Prof. Wiley assures us, these
bogus manufacturer could %have.coin-
ed money-there were millions in it"
apparently. But they failed to ap-
pear. The glucose was available, the
parafine ditto, and the appropriate
machinery" ought, in the interval un-
der the law of progress, to have be-
come still more appropriate" and
perfect in it's work; but, strange to
say, the famine OF honey continued.
The tempting prices were offered in
vain. Not q pound of the stuff ever
"materialized," SO far as anybody
could find out.

How Did He Learn such Talk.

Al little boy Of 4 years has for some
time had 4 habit, very trying to his
mother, Of waking about midnight and
calling for drink Of water. AT last
his mother told him one evening as he
was put to bed that she would not get
up any more to wait upon him; that
she would put 4 pitcher Of water and
IL glass on the stand near the bed, and
that if hesWanted water III the night he
must get up and get il himself. She
placed the water On the stand In his
sight aud left him.
That night at the usual time she
heard the boys call:
want q d;ink q Wateri / want d
'diink u water!'
But sheFpaid no attention. He called
two on three times. and after he had
whimpered = bit she heard him ret ND

Not Used to Repeaters.

A veteran was talking the other day
about his first experience with a repeat
ing rifle.
Il was out on the picket line" he
tells us, land a lot of Yankees kept
Shooting at us from the shelter of a
pine thicket. Finally. we made a break
for the thicket. and then we had it.
Every fellow would pick out his man,
and then load and shoot, taking advant-
age of the shelter.
"My Yankee got the first shot, and
missed me. As / was only seventy
five or one hundred yards away j
thought / would reach him before h
could load again. 50 / made a dash for
him. He stepped out from his tree and

down on me.

Answered Roll Call

Gus Williams: I was on the stage
In a certain town one night, and,
looking over the audience, I saw a
man in a prominent seat with one OF
his feet on the back of the chair in
front of him. It annoyed me, but /
didn't like to point him out. l tried
a ruse. Taking a slip of paper from
my pocket l looked at it closely and
then said: "There is a messenger in
the foyer with a telegram addressed
to-I can't make out the name
but he is from Missouri"
In about one second the chap who
had hung out his foot as assign arose
and walked out to the foyer. But he
didn't come back.-Chicago Tribune.

Half q dozen men went out on the
platform to shake hands with him. A
young fellow with q troubled face was
at the landing.

shouted. How mir yer How's the

The boy made a whispered reply, and
as the train slipped out the passengers
saw the old man raise his bony hand to
his eyes and stagger blindly across the

Electric LIghtand Trees,


Observers in many Of the small
cities blessed with shade trees have
noticed that those trees near electric
lights have been blighted by some
thing, and, for the lack Of somemore
apparent cause. the trouble is ascrib-
ed to the electric lights. The local
arboriculturists say that the trees
need darkness as much as men need
sleep. There seems to be some reason
in supposing that the nearness ofthe
electric lights is the cause ofthe droop-
ing Of the trees, Tor similar trees, not
exposed to any other illumination
than that of the sun, have not been
affected in that way and are bright
and strong.-Boston Budget.

Cost Of a Buffalo Head,

From the Kansas City Journal.
Ten years ago a good buffalo head
sold for SIS to $40. The price now
ranges from $75 to $500. There has
not been a green buffalo head in Dem
yer for three years. But it is expect
ed that Buffalo Jones, domestic buff
falo herd in Kansas will occasionally
add a new head to the market. Rocky
Mountain sheep are not very numer-
GUS, and the head of the animal
brings from $35 to 500. Mountain
sheep are sold in pairs, when the
taxidermist has saved the whole ami
NAL, and they sell for $3.50 q pair.
Elk headssell from $35to $3OOeach.
Grizzly bear rugs bring from $35 to
5000 each; black bear as high as $75.
The cinnamon and brown bear are
common and not so durable, and the
best will not sell for over $50.

Kentucky Girls.

The behavior Of some Of Louisville's
bellies at a few of the recent suppers
given shows how much more liberal
society in this city is to-day than it was
ten years ago. At that time had these
same scenes been enacted the actors
would have been tabooed from good
society, and considered fast and wild.
But to-day it is. if not applauded, at
least countenanced, and looked upon as
something usual. In factit has become
more usual than it should. What is re-
ferred to is the fact that at several of
these suppers several of Louisvile's
best known girls have imbibed so freely
the good wines served that they had to
be, helped from the table to their car
riages.
At the last Of these suppers a scene
was witnessed by a few Of those present
that, to say the least, was d~isgraceful.
In a room Of the house that was not
supposed to be used, and in which the
light was very dim, the following
picture wa seen:
On a sofa in one scorner Of the room
was = young maxwell known and re-
spected. He was slightly intoxicated.
as was his companion, who isa beauti-
full girl, and even better known than
he is. He was leaning back against
the end OF the sofa, one arm around
her waist, her head resting on his
shoulder and her arm around his neck,
and both were smoking cigarettes and
talking to each other. ] ii maEdlin
voices. They were separated by
friends and, everything done to keep
the scene quiet, but it has leaked out.
Ten years ago the telling Of this story
would have stirredethe social river to
its very depth, but to-day it will barely
cause q gentle ripple to rufffe the sur.

A Poor Place for Watermelons.
Between the Ural and the Okhotsk
seas there is a spot halt as large as
the state of Michigan which is frozen
ground to the depth of ninety-four
feet. That is, it has never thawed
out since the world was created, and
probably never will, and even if it
should nobody would have any use
for it.-Detroit Free Press.
