and to ,yro perfectly charming and fasci-
mating. Then when we remember it Was
given for ehariiy's sake, we sinners feel
like contributing, for are we not told that
'Charity covers a multitude of sins" Recall
the beautiful and truthful lines of Pope
lin faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankinds concern is charity"
No one should withhold their mite when
charity is the beneficiary. There was, we
are pleased to record,a generous attendance,
which Melted neat sum for the Ladies'

Little Mabel Gibson's singing charmed
everyone. She received unstinted applause
which was worhily bestowed.
Miss Ethel LaRue's recitation was both
humorous and laughable, as she recited the
trials and fluctuations of the fair maiden
who is longing to embark on the matri-
moniai sea with the man whom, in her
flights of fancy and vivid imagination will
make her a tractable and obedient husband.
1t was immensely enjoyed and the applause
and laughter which IL brought forth, was
highly complimentary to Miss LaRue.
Mrs. Myrtle Harr Bone responded with
recitation which appealed to our sympa-
thetic nature. Mrs. Bone recites beauti-
fully and the audience was indeed pleased.
The hearty applause which Mrs. Bone re-
ceived was proof of the audiences appre-
citation.
Miss Mary Cummings presided at the
organ in her graceful manner while the
choir rendered some excellent singing.
The selections on the gramophone, which
was furnished by Mr.. frank Hardesty,
were enjoyed and appreciated by all.
After the measuring was concluded the
ladies proceeded to invite us TO partake of
the most tempting delicacies of the season,
such as ice-cream, cake, coffee, ETC., delica-
cies which would satisfy and tickle the
palate Of the most fasiidious epicure. There
was no division of sentiment amongst the
gentlemen that in their hour of hunger they
needed the ladies' aid that hey were per-
feclly willing TO bask IN the sunshine of
their society until Gabriel blows his horn.
Taking all in all it was one of the most
pleasant social events in the history of the
town and one which everyone thoroughly
enjoyed. i, was one of those happy oc-
clsions which nothing was said or done to
mar the enjoyment.
We shall not hazard the attempt to ndi-
| vidualize, as each member of the LADIES'
Aid Society is entitled to the credit and
thanks of those present for the excellent
entertainment. No better testimony could
he offered than the manner in which Mayor
Montgomery, Maj Baird, DIR. Bone, COL
Chas. Wolfe and merchant Bert Gibson
called repeatedly for another plate of ice
cream and cake. We beiray no secret when
we say as an evidence of the appreciation of
the delicacies which were set before us by
the Ladies' Aid Society all have only to
recite the sacrifice of Derby hat by the
ever popular Grandpa Lloyd rather than
lose one morsel of ice cream or cake.
"Derby hats can purchase by the car
load, - said Grandpa Lloyd, his face beam.
ing with benevolence and goodwill, "but
such ice cream and cake and coffee falls to
the lot of mortal man but once in a genera

was chased two miles on the plains of
Colorado in 1879 by fifty red men of the
forest" exclaimed Maj. Baird, growing
enthusiastic as the delicacies disappeared
like magic, 'for pot of coffee, which I
finally had to drop, but would sacrifice my
scalp tonight rather than lose one drop of
this coffeei"

campaign Of forty years of coon hunting,'
chimed in Mr.. A. J. Bona6eld, becoming
reminiscent. once slumbered beneath
an oak tree from nine o'clock at night until
the next, morning patiently waiting for
coon, which we had freed to come dowr,
but could stay awake until the Millennium
dawn surrounded by such fair and enter

Such IS a fair sample Of the expression of
the appreciation of the gentlemen folks,
which time AID space forbids quoting.
We are requested on behalf of the gem
tlemen to return 10 the members of the
Tunnelton Ladies' Aid Society their most
gracious and appreciative thanks for their
excellent entertainment, aud that we hope
that their entertaiumenls'will not I've dixie
