A Pleasant Party.

A party of young ladies of Custer gave
a Progressive" entertainment last Sat
urday night in which (by invitation)
many of the young gentlemen of the
town took part. In accordance with the
program they first met at the house of
Mrs. X. w. Powell and afterwards at the
house of Mr.. j. N. Wright where differ
ent games of sport were INDUCED in.
The following were the names of the
young ladies who gave the party, Miss
Maude Wright Miss Faith Powell, Miss
Millie Heidepriem, Miss Ruby Olds and
Miss Ollie Courtney. The exercises of
the evening consisted of the indoor field
meet and other games in which prizes
were awarded to those who excelled.
Mary Heumphreus won the prize as the
most accomplished screamer, and the
five point nail heat was won by Miss
Myrtle Dunn. The gentemen's five
knot needle race was won by Mr.. VIII
Courtney, and the alphabet race writ
ing backwards) was won by Mr. George
Tubbs, all of which produced great mirth
and merriment. Flower decorations Of
carnations and lilacs, adorned the table
where banquet was spread which add
ed much to its freshness and beauty
The entertainment concluded with fash
light pictures after which the happy
young folks departed for their homes
bearing in mind the pleasures of the
evening, which will linger through all
their future life as pleasant memory.

Another w Walkaway .

The Hot Springs amateur ball team
came up last Sunday afternoon, and was
properly received by our own players,
the game resulting in a score of Hot
Springs 2, Custer %. Courtney and
Courtney were the local battery, and
Mcgowan, Holden and Stewart worked
for their opponents.
The game was too one sided to be real
ly interesting, Custer having it cinched
after the second inning, when they be-
gan their heavy hitting and with little
assistance from their rivals brought in
eight runs. Everyone hit the ball, and
generally hit it where it did the most
good. Mcgowan, who began the game
for Hot Springs, was replaced in the
seventh by Holden, but the change
made no difference as all the pitchers
looked alike by that time, and the slug
ging continued.
The longest hits were one for three
bases by Win Courtney, and one each
for four by w. and Eugene Courtney.
E. Courtney got easily the longest hit
made on our grounds for two or three
seasons, his line drive going far beyo
the center fielder.
The Custer boys played another al
most errorless game, the infield, Neel,
Royce, Cottrell and Putnam accepting
all chances in excellent manner, and
making good all through. The outfield,
Pitcher, Sager and Heidepriem, were
somewhat neglected, Heidepriem taking
the only chance in good shape. viii
Courtney pitched fine ball throughout,
and tielded his position we'll. Needless
to say, with Gene Courtney behind the
bat, the catching was flawless.
The game was we'll attended, and we
understand the grandstand receipts were
sufficient to cover all expenses This is
as it should be, for we have good team
doing good work, and they deserve good |
support.

The Red Barn Sold,
ED. l.. GRANTHAM,
President.

Mr.. Chris. Henriksen, who owns the
red barn on Custer Avenue, came up
from Hot Springs the forepart of the
week to see what disposition he could
make of his property here. The barn is
good property, but located along side of
the livery barn belonging to Mr.. d. V.
Coe and George Babcock it was ques.
ton if it could be made remunerative.
Several parties have been looking at it
and Messrs. Coe & Babcock offered
$4,000 for the property but the offer
was declined. A sale was however con-
summated on the oath by which the
property passed into the hands of Mr..
Geo, b. Hitch, who will engage in the
livery business.
1t is evident that one stable can take
care of the local business in the town
without making any more money than
a fair and descent living. So it is pre-
sumable that for the coming summer
much is expected from the business of
carrying passengers to and from the
Lake. In hot and dusty summers this
yields a good trade, but the kind of
weather We have had thus far in the
season leaves it doubtful if much can be
depended upon in that line. However,
competition is the life of trade, and Mr..
Hitch has our best wishes for success.
