The good people of our progressive
little neighboring town of Cedar Bluff,
did themselves proud last night, in
the celebration of an impromptu fruit
punch dance at the Mcclure Store.
All day the young people of Cedar
Bluff, Pounding Mill, and Indian were
Kept busy responding to the r. S.
v. F., which was on every invita-
ton sent out, and of which the C. v.
News was an appreciative recipient.
The capacious dance hall was waxed
TO almost mo standing room" smooth
ness and the young SWANS in atten-
dance had their hands full keeping
their feet.
The porches around the the build
ing were hung with tasty Japanese
lanterns and the music was as usual at
dances of character, that is, of the fid-
die, banjo and guitar variety.
The fruit punch was the feature of
the evenings entertainment, and was
only exceeded by the appropriateness
of the attending guests, twenty gal
Ions being found necessary to assuape
their thirst"
Mr.. Emmett H. Scott, than whom
there is no better known citizen i'm
Cedar Bluff, was the chairman of the
committee on arrangements and this
IN itself was an assurance to every re-
cipient of an invitation that a grand
old time could be counted on.
The lady chaperones in attendance
at the dance, and who co-operated
materially to its success were Mrs.
L. II. Logan, of the Blue Sulphur
Inn, Mrs. c. r. Fields, Mrs. w. ].

self calling fancy figures for the
young and joyous dancers.

lovely little pink silk beau knot,
and the gentlemen guests with white

cessful preparations for the dance and
it's huge success, wore special dark

Never before was there so much
