SUFFER- CREEK AND VICINITY

The Pioneer ball on Friday evening
last, under the auspices of the Native
Sons, assisted by the Native Daug hters,
was success in every particular. The
orchestra from Jackson, consisting of
five pieces, won merited praise. Most
of the gentlemen, and many of the
ladies, were dressed in costume, which
well represented the garb of the sturdy
pioneer who had little time to spend on
thought of self as he laid the solid
foundation upon which the modern
civilization of our state rests. Re-
freshments. of baked beans and brown
bread, cake and coffee were served by
the Native Daughters. The proceeds
of ninety-five dollars will be expended
in fitting up club room, where the
| Native Sons and their friends may
spend their evenings pleasantly and
profitably. The people of Sutter Creek
congratulate their boys in this most
commendable move, and assure them
their heartiest support.
School reopened Monday with fairly
