"A Very Busy Man.

In each Of several states Of this Union is a
village called Woodside-in what state is the
one we are about to mention. we leave the
reader to guess. How some Of them gained
the name, whether because they were on the
confines of great forests or not. may be con-
iectured; but that this particular one was
named for man who was paragon Of busy
occupation there eau be no doubt. AS we
write we have his card before US; "ReV.---
Wood. Editor and proprietor "Baptist---;"
proprietor Woods;de Store, Woodside Black
smith and Carpenter Shop, Woods:de 1nsur-
ante Office, Woodside Stock and Hay Ranch,
Ivoodside Job Printing Office, Woodslde Real
Estate Office" Only meat market and hotel
need have been added to make him ''so.e
monarch of alp'-Woodside. Rev. Wood, all
must acknowledge. was very busy man. In
fact this is country Of busy men, this United
States; and the Wtstern busy man in particu-
lar, when he travels, always selects ''fhe Bur

The banquet, ball aud social, gi ven by the
Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges Of this place,
was the most successful event which has ever
taken place in our town. About 25O guests
partook Of tho elegant repast, aud about 100
Of these guests participated in the dance, and
every one expressed themselves as eojoying
one Of the most pleasant evenings "f their
life. Everything went of pleasantly and hap
piIy, and-but further words 10 express it fail
us, as we were present and up all night en-
ioying it and therefore our vocabulary OF words
fitting for the occasion in not particularly
bright and scintilatlng this morning-sufiice
it to say that large numbers Of tho guests par
ticipated in tho dreamy mazes Of the dance un-
til day dawned this morning. The lodges
could, no doubt, draw rs large If not larger
crowd should they feel inclined to ever give
another like evening of enjoyment, Tor theil
fame as entertainers has now gone abroad.
