BURLEIGH 6 FLYNT,
Proprietors

The above was the very unique and
at the same time most appropriate in
| vitation which caused the assembling
| at the Augusta House Saturday even
| ing of one of the jollest of the many
parties which have gathered beneath
its roof since the coming of the Legis-
latura last January, and certainly the
members of no party ever enjoyed
themselves more thoroughly than did
those who were present Saturday
evening.
| The invitation was appropriate mas
much as it was printed in the same
form, with the same type, and on the
same paper as are resolves which are
introduced in the Legislature, and also
because of it's mission and the senti-
ment which it expressed.
| AS the ''resolve' stated, the party
was given by the proprietors of the
Journal as q means of giving personal
expression to their appreciation of the
excellent service rendered by their reg
ular employees during the legislative
session IS we'll as to the extra hands
who aided materially in carrying on
| the work t. a successful completion
during the rush periods of the session.
|
Augusta House Saturday evening in
response to the invitation numbered
about 90 people. AS the gentlemen of
the party entered the hotel they We're
greeted by Mr. Burleigh and Mr.. Flynt.
while the ladies We're greeted at the
entrance of the parlor by Mrs. Burleigh
and Mrs. Flynt, and a pleasant hour
was passed in chatting until at 8

chestra called the party to the old dim
ing hall of the hotel, and then the fes-
tivities of the evening began. The
dance did not compose the entire pro-
gram for the evening for there were ia
bles in the drawing room for such of
the guests as chose to play cards, but
somehow the majority seemed to be
in favor of tripping the light Fantastic
and when the grand march started
there were about 40 couples in line.
Did they have a good time? Well,
rather The order contained 10 dances
and two extras, with at least one en-
core for each round dance. The dance
was wholly Informal and that was the
best part of it. Everybody went in for
a good time, and to all intents and
purposes they had it. The floor was in
charge of "3illie" Edwards, who per-
| formed his duties most gracefully and
he had the able assistance of o. J..
Sumner d. M. Berran, A. L. White, F.
| l.. Foeg and r. H. Flynt.
| At above 1890 the party adjourned to
| the main dining hall where one of
| Landlord Emerson's characteristic
lunches were served, the menu of which
included lobster salad, hot rolls and
coffee, and ice cream and cake. At the
conclusion of the lunch Mr. Burleigh
arose and in a brief but feeling manner
| expressed to those present his thanks
and appreciation of the good work done
| by them during the session.
After lunch was over dancing was re-
sumed and the festivities continued I'M
| til the last hour of the "a was APP
preaching. and when the last waltz was
over and the guests of the evening de-
parted it was with a feeling on the part
of all that they had enjoyed one of the
very best of all of the good times of
| the season.
