Miss Amelia sent out speshial invites week previus to 10 ladies and 10 gents in Bingville and yisinity and no regrets were sent, all being present to the party in person. The gests arrived by ' clock and assembled in the parlor, where they set around in circkle with their hands in their laps, drest up in their Sunday best and uncomfortable. Now and then some body would spunck up curage and break the awful silence wich brooded over the room. but most evrybody was afrade to say much being as the party was such formal affare.
 Things became little more free and easy when Amelia asked them as was present to come out to the kitchen and participate in the taffee making. Mo lasses was the medium. used to make the taffee with, and whenft come time to pull the taffee, both ladies and gents participated.
