the shoulders of the few.
"A small party of young ladies
and gentlemen spent most enjoyable
evening at the residence OF Mrs. Z.
Chidscy on Thursday of last week, in
dancing, playing parlor games, etc.

greatly cnhauccd by the presence Of
Mrs. Chidsry's charming niece, Miss
Mabel Mcconnell, of New Orleans.

his satisfaction he tells us that he has
sent off, in samples, some 1000 pounds,
aud in return has more orders than
he can possibly ill at present with the
