The Dination given by DIR. Richard

The Strawberry and Cream Festival
given by the ladies of the Industrial
Society at Rea s Hall last Friday night
was, in every way, a success. It WIS
largely attended, we'll patronized and
very enjoyable. These ladies are carr
est workers aud certainly deserving C
every encouragement they receive.
In the afternoon. last Sunday. Child
ren's Day was observed at the Metho-
! dist Church, which was crowded from
| floor to gallery. The recitationS and
singing of the little ores was highly
interesting, and the vast audience were
delighted with tae evening entertain
ment. Collection very coed.
Our clever and polite Post Master,
Mr.. L. L. Brinkley, and his elegant
wife. gave brilliant and most exquis
tie entertainment last Friday CIV
ening to number of their young
friends, which was a delightful affair,
and was felicitouSly crowned with the
sweetest garlards of rosiest enjoyment.
At Rea s Hall last Monday and Tues.

very entertaining and pleasant. The
bonnet trimming by the young men
was amusing, and the shadow guess
gave all an opportunity to try their
luck. The entertainment was also a
financial success.
The Sociable given to the young folks
one night last week by Mrs. B. NJ. Par

was a gala occasion. Every single mo-
ment was gloriously freighted With the
richest argosies of joyous delight, and
beautifully attuned to the rythmic rip
pie of merriest notes Of gladdest heart
beats.
We regret the failure of the German
arranged for last Friday night by the
young men in honor Of some visiting
young ladies. Music was autographed
| for to Norfolk, but failed to come.
| Rather than to disappoint the ladies
| the gentlemen attempted the dance with
| five amateur musicians, and not until
the German had commenced was it
known they could only play johnny
