given at the hotel in honor of the

| OF society's select was present and
| the amusement of the evening was
rich, rare and racy, tingling with
mirth and merriment. The decora-
tions OF the parlor were tasty, artis-
| tic and catching and the music rend-
cred by Miss Sophia Clement was
| quite enphoneous and full of the
spirit OF the occasion. And then the
table-what a magnificent spread
what a GLORIOUS feast! Poor little
Jack Horner who sat in a corner,
would have opened. his eyes wider
than ever; and as for the little
boy who cried because as he said he
had eat SO much t-t-turkey that he
couldn't eat any p-p-plum pudding.
he would have wept and walled and
CRASHED his teeth all because there
we're SO many more and such won
| derful dishes. For desert we we're
served with ambrosia, the fruit of the
Gods, while we slipped nectar from
pleasures brimming cup.
We passed the night quite pleas
antly with our kinspeople, Mr. aud
Mrs FL Rrenigar. On Tuesday we
enjoyed a complimentary dinner at
the home of Editor Will X Cooley.
Late that evening we secured con-
veyances from the livery stables and
we're off for the "big hop on South
River. We arrived at dusk and met
Jolly crew accompanied by string
band from Salisbury. Pretty soon
the giddy waltz and fairy quaddrille
was in order and the fantastic toe
stepped first to the tune of Yankee
Doodle. Here was grace, beauty,
talent, music, bright lights and rip
ping laughter; all the attractions
calculated to render the scene bril-
liant and Intoxicating. Lawyer
Green, of Wilkesboro, Editor Cooley,
of Mocksville, and Mr. Cook, Of
Washington, were among the prin-
opal managers of this delightful
event. YENDIs.
