YEARS DAY--MANY FUNCTIONS
NEW YEARS BALL

NEW YEARS BALL
The attendance at the ball given
by the Saturday Evening Club at
Eagles Hall New Years night was
the largest in the history of the or
ganization, forty eight tickets being
sold. The dance was patronized
not only by the young people who
ordinarily attend but by many of
the older citizens as we'll. Every.
body seemed to have an enjoyable
time and the members of the Club
scored one as up-to-date enterlain-
ers.
MASONIC BANQUET
The Masonic order held it's annual
| banquet at the Great Northern Ho-
tel last Saturday night. The frater.
nifty first assembled in the Bank
Hall, its accustomed place of meet
ing, and after the regular session,
dancing followed until time for the
banquet at the hotel where members
of the local order, visiting brethren,
and a few invited guests soon gath
cred around tho banquet table. The
dining room was decorated with
wreaths of Yuletide holly, garlands
of it festooned in lavish profusion
everywhere. Forty-six enjoyed the
elaborate spread and when they arose
from the table there was more than
one regret that this event did not
come oftener than once a year. The
out Of town visitors were Mrs. NJ.
j. Larson of Dodson, Mrs. Byron
Hurley of Wagner, r. j. Moore of
Glasgow, l.. f. Hill of Dodson and
Mr., and Mrs. +. Il. Turpin Of the

DINNER AT YADlEE RANCH
One OF the very pleasant social
events of New Years Day was the
one O'Clock dinner given by Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Davidson at Yadlee ranch
two miles northwest of our city to Il
number Of the older settlers in the
community. The table was heavily
laden with choice and tempting edi-
bles and after enjoying them to the
fullest extent, the days of "auld lang
syne" were reviewed and many
pleasing stories told and reminiscent
ces recalled, and then to the delight
of the guests, L G. Edwards, with
Mrs. Edwards at the piano, executed
a real "Highland Fling" and so
gracefully and artistically did he
render this bit of Scotch dancing that
he was encored again and again, and
this aroused the Terpsichorean spir-
it in the others who were all soon
merrily whirling around in the fig
ures of the dizzy dance. The after
noon drew to close all too quickly
but "pledging aft to meet again.
the guests, with many expressions of
good will to the host and hostess for
the coming year, departed for their
several homes. Those present were:
. MI. and Mrs. Harry Cosner, Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Mcclellan, Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. c, Edwards, MI. and Mrs.
G. l.. Partridge, Mr.. and Mrs. r. w.
Garland, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Elliot,
Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hurley, and
Miss Maggie and James Davidson of
Wagner.
