This is going day by day and indicates
that there is considerable fencing going
on somewhere-and a party of young
folks found some of it the other night.
The party IN question were returning
home from a country dance, when they
found the fence. Whether the fence had
been put there while they were at the
dance or not, we cannot say. but rather
think not; but that the driver was either
asleep or so busy talking TO his best girl
that he forgot where he was However
1T happened, the result was the same A
team in a wire fence. broken carriage
tongue and four children out in the dark
How they got home we did not learn,
but they got there and they got there in
time for breakfast, too Now all of this
fencing foolishness may be all right for
the cattleman and for the farmer man,
but it is tough on the country dance, and
the dance will either have to wait for
moonlight nights get out an ipjunc-
ton.
Later--We heard they borrowed a lum-
Der wagon to bring themselves and the
wreck in.

The many friends of Mrs. J C. Brede-
hoft gave that lady surprise party Mon
day night. Twenty of them marched
into her house and took possession, and if
the object was to surprise EsDaisy''it was
a complete success. A very pleasant

visitors to compensate for the intrusion
brought gifts with them to appease the
wrath if any there was. The presents
were a set of silver knives and forks,
sugar spoon and butter knife. The
