The Thanksgiving Ball.

Thanksgiving day was pleasant as to
weather and profitable as to business so
far as Grangeville was concerned. The
town was full of people and much trad
ing was done throughout the day. The
Odd-Fellows ball was attended by about
fifty couple who kept the floor "hot" to
the music of Bonebrake and son and G.
F. Brown, and the most enjoyable dance
we have had in long time was the re-
suit. 1t seemed as though the incest
people on Camas Prairie had assembled
together to have a good time and SEEM
ed to be enjoying themselves hugely.
Supper was served at the Jersey House
and consisted of spread of good things
of all descriptions. The supper cost the
lodge seventy-five cents head. Dane
ing was afterwards continued and main
tanned until four o'clock in the morning,
and now the next thing in order is to
prepare for the Christmas and New
Years's holidays
