Talk about leap year dances, but the
dance given by the old maids, unmarried
and married ladies of this camp was
a peach. All the girls of Russell were
there. also some from Central and Ne.
vadaville and they all had a partner.
The hall was prettily decorated and by
the time the music started, which was
about nine o'clock, the hall was pretty
well crowded. The girls were charged
80 cents admission and gentlemen were
allowed in free. The floor committee
had their hands full as there were quite
a number OF strangers present, but this
did not seem 20 bother them and they
aoon had everyone acquainted with
everyone else and then they all danced
to their hearts content. During the
evening punch was served which was
fine and highly appreciated. Dancing
was kept up until after midnight when
everybody left for home well satisfied
with the evenings enjoyment.
All the boys and the bachelors around
here are scanning every poster now in
hopes tuat it 10 another poem announc.
ing another leap year ball.
