penings of the Thanksgiving season was
the ball given Thursday night by the
Concordia society at the opera house.

er, which tended somewhat to dimin-
1sh the attendance. there was a goodly
company present and the occasion was
n of great enjoyment to all. From
9 until 2 O'Clock the merry dancers
were in evidence, urged on by the in
spring and harmonious strains from
Hardege's efficient orchestra, and the
scene was indeed one of brilliance and
elegance. At 100 there was an inter
val in the dancing for supper. The
committee having charge of the ball
was composed of John Molzahn, w. F,

Paul Thom's senior dancing academy
is in a fourishing condition, and the
weekly sessions in Concordia Opera
house are very popular with the young
people. The beginners class is large,
while at the sociables following many
of the older set congregate to enjoy an
hour or two Of dancing. At present
Tuesday is the meeting night.
Those who have for years argued
that the fairs of this county are held
TOO late IN the season may next year
have their wish of holding an early
fair gratiied. In recent years 1t has
been customary to hold the fair after
the state fair, usually the second week
thereafter. This year, however, the
state fair will be held the fourth week
IN September, and the Dodge and Wal
worth county fairs, with which we do
not deem it advisable to conflict, will
be he'll the week following. To follow
these il RS would bring us in the second
week III October. and it is probable
that the date for the next fair will be
set for the third week in September, or
the week preceding the state fair
