J. II. BaberS and his little grandson,
Walter Wallace Smiley have been
spending the week visiting relatives in
GAINESVILLE. Master Wallace is one of
the bright nttle boys of Crescent City,

One of our most industrious citizens is
the town marshal, who is TO be com
mendcd for his activity in seeing that
certain OF the towns ordinances are not
violated with impunity, or words 10

ladies' There were some IS or so guests
present, principally the young people of
the place. The invitations read from

only one was correct, that the paper of
Miss Mary Graham, and TO her the prize
was awarded. Then followed refresh.

lawn party; cool and yet with little
breeze TO interfere with the lighted
lamps set here and there over the lawn
on tables. AT II O'Clock the party
broke up, but the hour came all too
soon, for all agree that it was one of the
most delightful social events 10 occur
in Crescent City in many day, and
