THE GRAND COLONIAL BALL
And Bright the Lights Shons Ger Fair Women
and Brave Men,"

The colonial ball which the young
people OF Fallon have been preparing
for, for some time past, came off last
Friday night, and the management are
certainly to be congratulated upon the
greatest success OF the season.
Looking into that hall that night one
could well imagine that he were living
in those grand old times when our an
cestors danced the minuet, for the gem
tlemen with their silvery wigs, short
breeches and buckled slippers and the
ladies with their hair arranged in the
coiffure OF one hundred years ago AL
most made one sigh involuntarily to
think that that most picturesque time
Of all our history had passed and gone.
1t would certainly be grand thing for
all If the styles of that period were re-
vived, as our girls never looked fairer or
more stately, nor our men more hand
some and gallant.

soonest of colonial gentlemen. Attor-
ney c. NJ. Price looked the true barris-
ter OF century ago in the conventional
