A Delightful Strawride.
Reported for the pemoeratIc Adyoeate.

One of the most pleasant events of the sea-
son was a strawride, in which number OF
young folks from Shipley, Gist and Winfield
took part in. The merry crowd gathered at
Greyhound Forrest Farm and started on a
Jolly trip amid Ginning, singing and ringing
of bells down the Liberty road, cheering as
they went on through the village of Porter's,
until they reached the Locust Grove Farm,
where they alighted aud were received by the
hostess as delightful surprise.
There they INDUCED in plays and games till
alate hour, when refreshments were served in
abundance Then bidding hostess good night
they started on their homeward journey over
the hills through the village of Gist, still cheer
ing as they went, and as the ride neared its
end without failure or accident to mar its
pleasure, which they declared was through
the skill of the driver, they gave him three
rousing cheers, and when the time came for
parting they expressed having spent a time
long to be remembered by all.
But we hope that Gist will be more up to
date by the time another strawride comes that
way. so it wont cause residents of that place
to faint who are in Medford at the time. We
thought rubberng was prohibited on phones;
and cause others to think it was resurrection
morn. We think they should be better pre-
pared, so they would not be soscared when il
does came.
Those on the ride were Misses Lucie A.
Nelson and Mollie B. Nelson, of Baltimore
county; Maude Easton, Gertrude Shipley,
Icydene Willis, of Baltimore; Daisie Bowers.
Elsie Bale, Icydene Easton; Messrs. Albert
Smith, Joseph Haines, Thomas Bowers, John
E. Jordon, Herschel Poole, Charles Reese,
Ray Brown and William Bale.
