largely attended by the Spartanbu.g folk,

have big time. Thursday night is the oc-

the jovial crowd do not wait for
Thursday, but they dance wherever
the spirit moves and the bands plays. While
,Tbursdsy was .'the german, there bad been

into late hours. ESen on Thursday nights
the crowd usually breaks about one o'clock.

Glenus every year. as he expresses it, out OF a
feeling of gratitude An account Of his 6rst
