BLOOMINGTON SPRINGS


There mas a sound of revelry by
night,
Bloomington's bellies and beaux had
gathered
In their beauty and their chivalry.
Bright the lights shone DER fair
women
And brave, young men.
Half-a-hundred hearts beat happily.
Ewes looked love to eyes that spoke
again
And all went merry as a marriage
pell"
Last Saturday night quite goodly
number of young folks of the village,
and several young men from Double
Springs and Baxter suburbs OF
Bloomington Springs-gathered at the
pleasant and hospitable home OF Mr..

road, East Bloomington, to a social
given for their pleasure and enter
tainment. Ye "old humble scribe"
had not the pleasure of being present
to mix and mingle" with the gay
throng and partake of the festlvltles
of the occasion, but his information as
gathered from some OF the more fortu-
nate ones who were there, is that an
exceedingly pleasant evening was en-
loved by everyone. Many interesting
and amusing games and passtlmes
