The managers Of the Avenue Hotel
opened the doors to a large number of
friends on Thursday night and the first
"Tacky Party" ever given in Austin
gave amusement to a large number of
guests. As the word implies each per
son was expected to be alfred in some
dress which conveyed the idea of
bucolic incongruity and last nights
"tacky party" reached the mark of
perfection in the picturesque and
grotesque In wearing apparel.
Mosques were worn in the earlier part
of the entertainment and the great
dining hall was the scene OF unre-
strained laughter when the masks were
removed and the identity Of each partici-
pant was known. Rustic simplicity
carried the day and clothes that had
been stored away In wardrobes and
trunks for quarter of a century We're
drawn out Of their hiding and made
TO serve the purposes of the tackles"
The hotel managers had provided the
best music that could be found and
a late hour.

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We refer
tn Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When it is
kept at hand severe pain of burn or
scald may be promptly relieved and the
sore healed in much less time than when
medicine has to be sent for. A sprain
may be promptly treated before infam-
nation sets in, which lnsures a cure in
about one-third the time otherwise re-
CURED. Outs and bruises sh ould receive
immediate attention, before the parts be-
come swollen, and when Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is applied it will heal them
without matter being formed, and with
out leaving a scar. A sore throat may
be cured in one night. A piece of flannel
dumped with this linament and bound on
over the seat Of pain, will cure lame back
or pain in the eide or chest in twenty
four hours. 1t is the most valuable, how
over, for rheumatism. Persons afflicted
with this disease will be delighted with
the prompt relief from pain which it af-
fords, and it can be depended upon to
effect complete cure. For sale by A. G.

Told At the q. A. R. Meet.


One Of the naval veterans told good
anecdote last night which happened on
one Of Farragut's gunboats ON the Missis-
sippi. The vessel was just going into &C.
ton, and one Of the powder monkeys was
noticed by an officer kneeling by one Of
the guns saying his prayers. The officer
sneerlngly asked him what he was doing
and If he was afraid.
"No; I was praying" said he.
"Well, what were you praying for?"
"Praying, said the little lad, that the
enemy's bullets may be distributed the
same way as the prize money is-princi-
pally among the officers"
It was said that militia company was
organized Just before the war at Bung-
town, o. II was called the Bungtown
rifemen, and the bylaws consisted Of two
sections-namely:
"Article First.-This company shall be
known as the Bungtown Rifles.
"Artiolc Second.-In case of war this
company shall be Immediately disbanded. +"
In one of the skirmishes Of Sherman in
his march to the sea a fine looking negro
man was brought into camp.
