Abba Republican: Major Lacey
spent yesterday and today in this
county in the interests of his can
didacy. The prospects for his cleo
ton we're never brighter than this
year, and 1--we predict for him this
year the largest majority he ever had.
His meeting at Hilton last night was
the most successful political meeting
held in the county thus far in the
season. The hall was well filed with
voters who paid respectful attention
and Justify cheered the gallant major,
who has been one of the best friends
the miners ever had.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. F. d.
Boyer gave them genuine surprise
party last evening on the anniversary

was the major general in charge of
the affair and it seemed to be an event
where married people enjoy again the
fun and frolic of their youthful days.
About thirty of their friends were
present and some of their costumes
would have given Dame Fashion
nervous chill on account of their
originality and design. They had
evidently come for a glorious good
time and they certainly had it to the
full limit of their pleasure. Oysters
were served, music was enjoyed and
Miss Minnie Funk, Of Colfax, added
to the pleasure Of tho company by
her recitals. Social intercourse
seemed t., permeate the spirit of all,
and the occasion was such as only
intimate friends can really enjoy to-
gether. These are the events which
make us young, and they AFFORD a
warmth Of sunshine which contributes
largely to the comfort offuture years.
