A very odd and unique party was
given at the home of Prof w. o
Garner Wednesday night. 1t rep
resented a Camping Party", and
all who went were dressed in camp.
ing costume. The hack called for
them at about 6:3o o'clock. AS they
stepped into the hall, cedar trees and
oak leaves were seen in abundance.
After some merry "chat" and con-
versatlon the party was ushered into
the camping room, there were
cedar trees here in abundance, and in
the center of the room was large
tent, with old glory flying over it. A
large camp fire was burning brightly
On the trees were live opposums,
squirrels and rabbits. Skins of deer
and mountain lyons were placed ar
tisticully among the pillars of the
of the room. A lunch was spread
before the fire which consisted of
cold rabbit, venison. "possum'', and
in fact every thing that the hunter
would have to eat. Buches Of holly
and mistletoe were hung on the chan
oilers and over the doors, so that
all had to pass under. The party
then adjourned to another room,
where some time was pleasantly spent
in playing charades. The one that
succeeded in getting the best charade
was to receive prize-a live oppos-
sum. This was won by Miss Perine.
May many more such occasions occur.

TERRIBLE FIRE.
Farm Stock Burned to Death
George Clark the Loser.

Those who CHANGED to gaze in the
direction of Plainfield last night about
midnight saw the heavens illuminated
in a wonderful manner.
The cause was that the large barns
belonging to George Clark about three
miles from this city on the Plainiield
road were on fire.
The family were aroused about mid
night by cracking noise and looking.
from the windows they saw their barn
in flames. This was their first know
ledge of the fire and there was no avail
able power to stay its proe ress, conse-
quently the barn and nearly everything
it contained was burned to the ground.
/ There were 40 hogs, IA cows,
horses, 2 Shetland ponies, all the har-
nesses, wagons except the milk cart, 2
gigs, nearly all the farm implements,
and the hay and grain except the corn.
The house stood about rods from
the barn and the wind was blowing
away from it so that the house did not
catch,
Mr.. Clark has lived at that place for
a long time, is well kaown here and
has many friends and relatives in this
vicinity who will sympathize with him
in his loss.
How the fire started is a mystery.
Mr.. Clarke and John Green finished
milking and left the barn about 7.3O
o'clock, and everything was thcn all
right. So far as is known they were
the last persons in the barn before the
fire,
