Last Friday night, In spite of the
bowling blast that ragged so furiOusly,
there was pleasant gathering OF
twenty-seven neighbors at the home
of Fred Scholtz, in Cent. Plains. The
evening was spent in dancing 10 the
merry tune of Joe Metcaifs violin,
accompanied by Fred Nichols guitar.
The dancing was interpersed with
taffy-pulling and eating popcorn and
apples. At one o'clock a bountiful
repast was spread, of which all par.
took, for Mrs. Scholts knows well how
10 tickle the palate with tempting
viands. After supper each one
danced again, to settle the oysters
and warm up the ice cream, and al
four o'clock the last guest had de.
parted, each one declaring they had
spent most enjoyable evening, and
hoping to enjoy many more like 1t.
