resentatives in the gathering and one
young lady came from clear across the
county, from Toltec, to enjoy the hos

the stars into hiding did the soft,

to mark time for the tired yet happy
dancers. Ed Lane directed the ar
rangements for the dance, while Mrs,
Dick" Richardson attended to the
wants Of the elmer man." Supper was
served in the Richardson hotel about

umph for the promoters.
