A Pleasant Entertainment.

Mr.. EDIioR:-One of the greatest social
events of the season took place at the
residence of Mr. r. G. Slingluff, on the
nigh. of September 18th. Mr. Slingluff
came TO our neighborhood more than
twenty i've years ago, within this time has
given many delightful entertainments, as
all who have had the honor to be remem-
bered, can truthfully testify. His last
party was given to his daughter, and to a
relative of Mrs. Slingluff, Miss Florence
Talbot, of Richmond, who not long since
entered apon her debut, Thorough society
lady, with graceful pleasing manners, as
well as beautiful dancer.
Miss Lizzie Slingluff, the youngest of
three daughters, an exquisite bud sylph
like in figure, and much vivacity, how
can she be otherwise than fascinating? We
wish her all the joy and sunshine that
can be crowded into her sweet young life.
About eight o'clock, carriage after

where the charming occupants were beauti-
fully and cordially welcomed by Mrs Sling
huff and her train of sweet attendants.

Weather Crop Conditions.

The weather bureau, in its report of crop
conditions for the week ended September
% says:
This is the second successive phenome-
NAL warm week over most of the country
east of the Rocky Mountains, with an en-
tire absence of rain over the Central Val
leys Atlantic Coast and Gulf States.
Corn, except a small part of the late
crop in Ohio and Indiana, is now safe from
frost The weather conditions of the week
have been favorable for cutting and gather
ing corn, which work is in general pro-
gress.
The warm, dry weather has also been
favorable for cotton picking, which has
made good-progress. The reports show
that the cotton has opened rapidly during
the week and that the exceedingly warm
and dry weather has forced the young bolls
to open prematurely Complaints of damage
by insects have continued to decrease
While the growth of late tobacco has
been checked by drouth the warm dry
weather has been favorable for housing
and curing.
Throughout the Middle Atlantic States
and generally in the States of the Ohio
and Central Mississippi Valleys fall plow-
ing and seeding have been much delayed
owing to drought and general rains are
needed to place the soil in condition for
their work
Freezing temperatures occurred through
out the Central and Northern Rocky
Mountain reg ions, which with snow to
considerable depth in portions of Idaho
Wyoming and Colorado, put an end to the
growth of vegetation generally in that
region and caused mucn injury, especially
to fruit trees, in Utah and Colorado

Henry Pearson, a young man who
occupies the position of bookkeeper
for a grocery establishment in St Paul
uses perhaps the most novel pen IN
eXlstance. Pearson has allowed the
nail of his middle finger to grow to
the length of full inch, and this he
has whitfield down till it has exactly
the appearance of an old fashioned
quill pen.
Pearson says his pen has many advan-
tages over any other which he ever
used, the chief of these being that it
was always sat hand.n A neat silver
ierrule, or rather an elongated Thin
bic, protects the pen when not in use.
