strongly her distinguished father the

"Bubber Susie" one of local negro
boy celebrities was found last Thursday
night in the piazza, in his SOCK ieet. at
the residence Of Mr.. L. r. Mcintosh.
The presumption is that his purpose
was burglary. Mr.. Mcintosh had been
out to a dance, and was undressing IN
his room when he noticed something
pass his window. He went out only to
Get q glimpse of the tleeting coon Mr..
Mcintosh pursued. caught him and
turned him over to q policeman. Coun-
Gil sent his '.Nibs' to the chaingang
for 20 days, and he will get the balance
from Magistrate Youmans. 'Bubber
Susie" is an old offender.
The ice cream festival given under
the auspices of the Younger set of
Young ladies last evening for the bene-
fit of the Hannah Levi Memorial Lib
rary was gratifying success, both from
a social and financial standpoint. The
court house square presented q lively
scene. which was enhanced by the we'll
executed music of the local band under
the direction of Mr.. S. L. hrasnoti.
The numbers rendered were indeed
fine, and the young men connected with
this band deserve credit.
The young ladies who so nobly work
ed for q noble cause are very grateful
to the friends who contributed cakes
and cream, and especially is it crafty
ing to them that so few people IN the
town refused to aid them in this public
benefit enterprise. In the confusion OF
things the girls forgot to send for churn
of cream that one lady kindly made for
them and who had no one to send it to
them by, caused them considerable
worry, not only because it made the
cash proceeds that much less. but they
were afraid the lady would think them
unappceciative, but we can assure the
girls they need not feel so, because:
that lady was once young and giddy,
and would be forgetful too, when
music, boys and frolic engaged the
mind.
The proceeds aggregated abuut SIG.
and the girls are to be congratulated.
They directed their efforts for a good
cause. and all people who are not closed
up in shell OF selfshuess will always
be willing 70 encourage such work.
