Was the Best Ever

The dance given by Geo. Baht
in his new machinery warehouse
was "humdinger.' The large
floor was fine and it was large
enough to accommodate the biggest
crowd that ever attended a dance
in Beach. The Beach orchestra
furnished the music and supper
was served at the Wisconsin Cafe.
A number of card tables were
placed in the office room and those
that did not dance enjoyed the
evening with cards and cigars.
Everyone had good time at Mr..
Baht's expense who not only gave
the young people the free use Of
the hall but paid the music as we'll.
1t was one of the most enjoyable
social events ever given in Beach
and it is hoped that Mr.. Baht will
give another such some time in
the future, as the big floor makes
fine place for dancing.
