White Sulphur Springs, April 90
Winter, cold relentless winter has
again visited these parts and caused
the young ladies with their beautiful
Easter hats and the gay Lotharios
with their tan shoes to use the strong
est language they command in scoring
the weather clerk for such an eruption
in their plans. Winter months have
passed, according to the calendar, but
during the past week zero weather was
here in plenty, and with it snow which
caused the Sheepmen to have rumpled
tempers and the farmers and cattle
men to smile from sun up to sun down.
The ground was exceedingly dry, and
now IL only Old Sol will do his part in
an up-to-date manner we will have
green grass to spare in a very few
Gays. This is one of the busiest sea-
sons in this valley; the flock owners
are determined to break all former rec
ords at lambing, and with this end in
view they are busy making the neces-
sary preparations.
For sociability it would indeed be a
hard task TO select crowd of people
which would outshine the gathering at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs n. b. Smith
on the evening of the 14th. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that old-timers
were in the majority, and they seem
TO know nothing but good fellowship
on these occasions especially. Whist
was the bone of contention, and the
way the guests handled the cards was
truly interesting to behold. After two
hours of terrible suspense Mrs c. b.
Sayre was announced as THE lucky lady
and received the first prize, a beautiful
grove case, and r. n. Sutherlin proved
himself equal to the occasion by secrr-
ang the gentleman's prize, a gold PEN
cll Refreshments consisting of delici-
GUS chicken, coffee, ices, ETC.. were then
served and partaken of by the guests
In manner which spoke volumes for
MIS-. smiths ability as q caterer, after
Whlcn the "horTdd" men hied them
selves away from THE fair sex and par
took of some of Mr.. Smiths pure Ha-
Vanas. The ladies enjoyed themselves
at conVersing and making excuses for
their husbands absence 1t was a late
hour when the gay throng departed
shower1ng kind words upon the ability
or the host and hostess to entertain in
q delightful manner.
