last Friday night. 1t consisted
of a quadrille and half, or more
plainly speaking, one set and a
half. Long about s or 9 o'clock
on that evening some of the boys
who have got the dance fever
pretty badly, said that at that
late hour there was going to be
a dance, and the news spread:the
boys went in all directions to get
partners; some were fortunate
others were not. But there was
a dance, nevertheless, and it was
a very enjoyable affair, we learn,
although the large and spacious
hall was not filed to overfowing
with those who enjoy the terpsi-
chore art. Along about the
hour of midnight, the director
proclaimed in loud and clear
voice: Take partners for sup
per ~ But how about a supper?
None had been provided for the
occasion. Some one of the boys
struck an idea, and got one of
our merchants up and purchased
a supply of viands and brought
it to the hall. The spread was
was all right. The menu con-
sisted of crackers, sardines and
corned beef, but it was novelty
and all appeared to enjoy this
light repast. They "tripped the
light fantastic" until about 2
O'Clock, a. m.
Lee Ramey, of Salmon, spent
