1t had been previously advertised
that a masque ball would be given at
the school house on the 18th inst, and
at an early hour on that date the pleas
ure seekers began to assemble, and a
glance at the following list of names
very likely incomplete, but if SO with
out i~ntent), will show that the attend
ance WAS not small for a place of this
size. The schoolhouse had been taste
fully decorated for the occasion, and at
nine O'Clock the band, consisting of
violin, guitar, cornet and organ, led by
Chas. Sucker, struck up the grand
march aud the pleasure seekers
marched. Soldiers may sometimes be

Now 1 don't want all the rest of you
ladies to pull out what little hair l have,
just because l am going to tell the truth,
aud say that Nettie Lofgren, the Italian
Princess, had the prettiesL costume in
the hall.
The twin ''nigger gals" Grace Mills
and Jockey Bowmen, were way up, and
masks you couldn't have told one from
he other, only for the fact that Grace is
a little the best looking.
Harry HUI tier, the Indian, and Brisbo
lis squaw, with papoose accompaniment
ed the march, and looked as savage as
Horn did at South Mountain in
rs,
The national colors were displayed in
'rofusion, and in no case to better adj
than in the pretty costumes of
he Misses Pearl Wilcox and Emma
luck. :
Harry Jarvis and Frank Clark created l
DTS of fun. They wore no masks, but
iere BACKED up in true minstrel style
nd so well disguised that many of their
failed to recognize them.
Rudolph Nelson as a Cinnamon, was
no best sustained character. 1
Herb Falkner, labeled Dads Chop
and ]. Sensenbaugh, bearing a
,gion which read II board at Dads"
ere padded out to great dimensions,
ut couldn't come up to the model. =
Then the old gentleman shows up, :
oys, you are not in it.
There were many other costumes and
1aracters worthy Of mention, but space
i'll not permit.
At the Virginia Chop House, Mrs. ca
emmett provided a nice supper for re
'out eighty persons, and had the best hs
,or and take the cash. -,
