kaye-NOrie.

Invitations have been issued by Mr..
and Mrs. Jos. Kaye inviting their
friends to the marriage of their daugh-
ter, Miss Martha, to Mr.. James Lester
Norie, the ceremony to take place at
Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Christ
mas morning, at 8 o'clock. Judging
from the preparations being made it
will be an elaborate affair. The bride
is the eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jos. Kaye and is a very popular young
lady and highly esteemed by our peo-
pie. The groom, while practically
stranger to us, we hear him highly
spoken of by the citizens of Remove,
where he resides. 1t is little prema-
ture to congratulate the young couple,
yet we must do so. May they have
long life of pure love and happiness.

Surprise Party.

Last Friday evening about thirty
gentlemen friends called at the resi-
dence of DR.. R. P. Heilman, to assist in
the celebration of his 50th birthday.
The visit was in the nature of surprise
and the genial DR.. assures us it was a
genuine surprise. The evening was
delightfully."- pleasant and the callers
were royalty received and entertained
by the DIR. and his estimable wife, until
a late hour. The Doctor was pleasantly
remembered by his friends, who pre-
sented him with an easy chair and hat
rack.
After jolly good time, elegant re-
freshment were served, prepared by
the Dr.'s good wife and daughter, when
the welcome guests departed for home.
DIR. Heilman has resided in this county
for 25 years, first at Driftwood but dur
ing the past "a years has been one of
Emporium's most respected and ener-
getic citizens-always ready to put his
shoulder to the wheel and help along
any movement for the upbuilding of
Emporium or Cameron county.

Masonic BANQUET,

A number Of Emporium Masons Wis.,
tied Driftwood Lodge last Friday even
ing and witnessed the installation of
the officers by Past Master, Geo. B.
Barclay. After the session of the lodge
all repaired to the Commercial Hotel,
where the Ladies' Aid Society served an
elegant banquet. The tables were
beautifully arranged in hollow square,
and decorated with beautiful flowers.
1t is needless to add that the spread
was simply immense and hugely en-
joyed. That would be putting it mild
ly. Evidently the Driftwood ladies, who
certainly did look '.iust too lovely for
anything" upon this occasion, know
how to prepare feast and how to
serve it.
After devonring the delicious repast,
fragrant cigars were passed, when the
speech making commenced with Capt.
@. F. Barclay acting as Toast Master in
his usual pleasant manner. Toasts
were responded to by Rev. NJ @. Piper,
Judge Huntly, E. G.. Dawson, A. G.
Blum and others-all paying flattering
compliments ito the ladies. The En-
porium visitors composed of Messrs.
U. A. Palmer, A. G. Blum, E. @. Davi-
son, E. w. Gaskill, F. P. Strayer, Chas.
t. Logan, S. L. Barton and ye editor,
returned hearty thanks to the Drift
wood brethren for their cordial recep-
ton. The festivities closed after mid
night. The Emporium "night hawks"
played pedro until the "Flyer'' came
along, late as usual one hour, arriving
at home in time for breakfast. The
next time we visit Driftwood, and Pal
mer happens to be in the gang, we ad-
wise the citizens of that town to put on
an extra night policeman if they wish
to save anything that is movable.
Either that or supply him with trunk.
Our satchel will not hold his ''swipes." !"

SIayton's Jubilee Singers.

Slayton's Jubilee Singers met the
highest expectations of the patrons
of the Peoples Course.
The chorus singing was character
lied by an abandon and an animation
of which the colored people alone are
capable and evoked frequent outbursts
of applause that were hearty in the
extreme. The solo parts were scarcely
less creditable and stamped the several
singers as artists in their respective
lines. Of exceptional merit was the
singing of Madam Sylvester, the spec
ialties by Mr.. and Mrs. Tutt, the male
Quartette and the whistling by Mr..
Washington. The latter is phenom-
enon. That the program of the hour
was all too short was the unanimous
verderdict of the large audience.
