/ Next Friday evening the ladies of the
Presbyterian church will give a souvenir
| social at the residence of Pres. Bloss. The
entertainment will commence at six o'clock,
and one continual round of enjoyment is
| promised until eleven. Refreshments will
be served, and an opportunity will be afford
ed the adventurous to participate in the ex-
citing game of ''egg croquet," while the un-
wary are being ensnared in the enticing pas
! time of "spider web" to the music of the
Social Orchestra. A beautiful souvenir of
the occasion will be given to each guest, and
| all the reparation you are required to make
for all this diversion is twenty-five cents.
There is ample opportunity for the ex-
among worthy objects deserving the kind
care and attention of persons engaged in
such work. As GAZETTE representative
in company with friend. was vending his
way homeward Wednesday evening about
supper time, he overheard man talking to
woman on Main street, who was making
use of the most obscene and disgusting
language possible for one to engage in.
The woman's little girl was present during
the confab and overheard the entire CONVEX
sation. This child is the worthy object for
home missionaries, while the caricature of a
man should receive lesson from the local
authorities.
Apropos of the visit of the Masonic
fraternity of Albany to this city
some days ago, special train, Friday
night, carried seventy-three Masons of this
city, and their wives, to Albany, the occa-
sion being the official visit of Grand Master
Malcolm to that city. They were rendered
a banquet by the members of the Albany
Yates and Prof. Letcher did the speech
making. They were delighted by the royal
treatment given them by the lodges and
the kindly interest shown them by the cit.
izens of Albany. These friendly visits be
tween the different orders of the two cities
will go far toward blotting out the petty
little jealousies that have long existed
Good. healthy rivalry is beneficial, but let it
be free fiom envy and malice.
The umbrella thief is abroad in the land
If you have any valuable umbrellas you
had best take them inside the house. Five
umbrellas and four pairs of rubbers disap
peared from the front porch of f. NJ. John
sons residence last Sunday night. Had
the thief left one umbrella and one pair of
rubbers that representative of the
family could have braved the storm safely
his act would not have called for such vio
lent language as was indulged in. John
Gavin was propelling his 260 pounds of av-
oirdupois about the street the other day
looking for stray wreck of umbrella. |
John said he cared nothing for the umbrella
itself, but was in mortal terror for fear that |
lie would feel in duty bound to pay for the
notice.
