Ornaments Station Grounds.

Officials of several of the big railroad
systems are considering plans to induce
agents and others concerned to make
stronger efforts to beautify station
grounds and buildings. During the past
year or two particular attention has
been given to making the stations more
attractive. The Burlington has accom-
plished great deal in this direction.
Last year it issued orders to all en-
ployes that the grounds and buildings
adjacent to the company's fight.of.way
must present neat and attractive ap-
pearance. The company's gardener
gave his especial attention to beautify-
ing the suburban stations for forty miles
out of Chicago. Before last summer
closed, switch shanties, tool houses, yard
Offices and round houses had been pret
tily covered with running vines and the
grounds a"out each building converted
into fine lawns oyer which shlubbery
had been planted. During the coming
spring and summer this work will be
greatly extended. and In time the Bur.
lington expects to have the most orna
mental station grounds in the West.

Dance at Bakerville.

One Of the best dances ever given in
Bakerville, was given at the residence
of A. c. Roseberry, on Friday evening,
January 18th. Custer was represented
by the following persons: Mrs. j. F.
Sheehan, Jack, George, Leonia and
Dollie Chi!son, Grace Blackney, John
and Robert McNamee, David Peterson,
Theo. Reder, Ky Putnam, Jess and
Ralph burst, James Kinsey and Jessie
Wilkinson, (teacher of the Bakerville
school, whose term expired on the sane
date) also the following from Durst's
mill, Thos. Page, Carl Chandler, Chas.
Wilson, Thos. and Mable Pope. At12:3O
a munifcient lap slipper was served to
which all did ample justice. Dancing
was again resumed about 2 o'clock, and
continued until after daylight, when
breakfast was served the remaining
dancers. The music was furnished by
Chilson, Peterson & Kinsey accompani-
ed by Peterson, David and Harvey Her.
bert upon the guitar, and would have
pleased the most astidious. The only
feature to mar the occasion was the
limited space in which to waltz. The
floor nor the musical instruments were
not allowed to get cold. Jess Dust,
Robt. McNamee, Thos. Pope and Carl
Chandler did the calling. AL Herbert
treated the crowd to jig, and, although
getting along in years, Al can rattle his
hocks in pretty good shape. Singing
was part of the program and a few
amused themselves playing high five.
Everyone present enjoyed themselves
to the utmost: All who have pro
clivity for dancing should come to Bak-
erville, where they will be royalty re
ceived and treated next.

The Tubbs Reception,

Wednesday night, the 23rd day of
January, will always be a memorable
one in the history of Mr.. II. S. Tubbs,
and many of his friends who assisted in
raising him to the sublime degree of
Master Mason, and partook of the
good things which were set before them
in the grand reception which followed.
On this occasion the goat bucked hard,
but Mr.. T. was equal to the occasion, and
passed through the ordeal unscathed
He survived with just breath enough
left to whisper an invitation to his tor
menters to go with him to his house
and see what the Gods-no the Godesses
had prepared for the faithful. They
went, and thus far have no cause to re-
gret it, perhaps for the reason that their
digestion Is stronger than some others.
We would suggest, however, to the la.
dies of his household that the next time
they prepare such spread as that, that
they provide vasaline with which their
guests may anoint their stomachs TO
keep from. bursting.
But laying all jokes aside, it was a
grand repast, and was duly appreciated
by the % stalwart meh who we're seat
ed at the table. 1t was fortunate, too,
that the residence Of Mr. and Mrs. Tubbs
is large and commodious one or there
would not have been room for such a
gathering. The house. We are told. has
81 rooms, and being elegantly and tastily
furnished, lighted and warmed, together
with the kindly and graceful atte ntions
Of the host and the hostess, and her as
sistants who put every one at his ease,
made the entertainment one long to be
remembered and reverted to with pleas
ure.
Mrs. Tubbs was ably assisted by Mrs.

Pitcher and daughter Lulu, and mother

ed as to receive the spontaneous applause
of all, and marked these young ladies as

The guests enjoyed themselves 30
thoroughly that it seems they "would
not 60 home till morning" but finally
tore themselves away at about 9 o'clock
in the morning.
