tertained the young people Of the Bap-
fist church at most delightful "dress

week. The guests, about 45 in num-
Der, went attired in all sorts of cos
tunes from the coy and beruffled vii
lage belle to the sedate and dignifed
young NJ. D. with his tall silk hat and
stately mien. The scream of the even
ing, however, came with the arrival Of
the family Of colored aristocracy, con-
sisting of Ephraim Jackson, with his
wife, the Mistress Indy, and their
pickaninnies Ambolina and Happilona.
When de music played desc cullud
folks found difficulty in maintaining
the dignity due the occasion, and the
antics of the entire company were
freighted with mirth and good feel
ing. Outdoor games were played the
fore part of the evening and after
general good time delicious lunch
was served.

pleasing young host to about dozen

ladies spent the afternoon with visit

the combined Missionary Circles Of
the Methodist church last Friday ev
