According to appointment, the Amusement
Club met al Mr.. Sep. WhilGeu's Friday
nighs and the feature of the evening was q
topic party. A number of topics were
arranged Tor the occasion, and were writer
on slips of paper, which were distri-
buted among the audience. We think
the most popular topic (whose popu-
larity, by the way, is DOT confined to
young people) WAS ''sweethearts." The
moonlight Friday night was cheering, the
weather delightful and the young people en-
joyed themselves greatly promenading in the
yard and discussing the subjects.
The next meeting of the club will be held
at ex-Sheriff John NJ. Tindal's Friday night,
Feb. IA, and among the features of the
evening will be Valentine party.

1t appears that the Redboue children don't
