Thirty-six tickets were sold, and the sur rounding towns were we'll represented. The ice cream, furnished by A. B. Camp bell, was gwen taste aDouC IWelVe o'clock, recess being taken for that pur- pose, after which the merry dance contin- ued until two o'clock. Perfect order was maintained throughout, and c. N.

No announce ment was given of another, but 1t is safe to say, that if you wish to know the date of our next, to keep your weather eye open toward the columns of The Press.
