THE BANQUET.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the

and lady friends, began to assemble
at Billeisen's cafe, and at 10 o'clock
sharp they filed into the banquet hall,
President Love taking the seat of
honor at the head of the table. The
tables were tastefully decorated with
beautiful flowers and fruits, all COM
bining to make the whole effect most
attractive and inviting to the eye.
About l25 persons were present to en-
| joy the banquet, which was spread in
| Col. "Billy's" best style. Course after
course followed each other in rapid
succession, each one seeming to be
more tasteful and delicious than it's
predecessor.
On the whole the affair was an en-
tire success not only being a credit to
Mr.. Billeisen but to the local COM
mittee having the matter in charge.
The capital city band was in attend
ance during the evening, stationed on
! the front gallery, and entertained the
merry banqueters with their sweet
and enhancing music.

Good Night and Goodbye-Sheriff
beware of Marion county.
During the evening two presenta-
lions were made, the first one being
to Gen. Hardeman by Mr.. BilIeisen in
behalf of his daughter Tiny, of beau
tiful bouquet. The brave old general
replied in most touching and affect
ing manner, saying that in these
latter days it seemed to
be the "fashionn to forget
and cast aside from the memory cas-
ket the men who in the early days
of the history of Texas labored. fought
and bled for her liberty and future
prosperity, and he appreciated mos
deeply the act OF the little girl in thus
rememberingh him.
The second presentation was made
by Col. Faux to President Love, the
token OF esteem being beautiful gold
headed cane, which gift was accepted
by MT Love in a most appropriate
and fitting manner.
