OLE TONNE QUATET

The Old Town Quartet gave the opening number of the Lyceum Course at the school auditorium Tuesday evening. To say that the large audience was entertained and delighted from start to finish, does not ex- press it. Their selections were instructive as we'll as popular, with both children and grown ups. Remember Now Thy Creator, Sand Mans Comin, '" When You and 1 Were Young, Maggie, " pleased every one as much as did their more classical selections.
 Their closing number showed pathetically the contrast in edu- cation and ignorance, was well presented and was strong plea for education.
 They made the announce ments for the remainder of the course and spoke in the highest praise of the talent that is to follow.

Beautiful Party

Misses Willie Norville and Gladys Deane gave the most charming of the beautiful parties that has been given Miss Hattie Stanley, when they entertained about thirty young people at the Deane home, with Tipperary party, Wednesday evening.
 The invitations were maps of Ireland traced with green. and on their arrival each guest was given a ticket to Tipperary. Blarney Castle and Kerry Lane were there, so were the boys lowing before the girl and say ing: You are the sweetest girl I know" while the girls were supposed to reply: Pigs is pigs" and they sang Kerry Dancing. After the Peat Bog" came the Haunting Car. After which Ozark's splendid quartet sang, River Shannon. All joined in singing, Its a Long. Long Way to Tipperary."
 The house was decorated espe- cially for the occasion, in palms and ferns: vases and bowls of white flowers were in profusion.
 Miss Stanley, the bride-elect, was beautiful in a yellow tatfeta evening dress, and carried Kill larney roses.
 Luncheon was served.

DIPPING CATTLE

Last Wednesday was stock dippng day at Esq. J. K. Ford's, in Grover township. He drove 84 head of cattle and 3 head of mules thru the vat. One of the mules acted like it might have been reading some anti-dip- ping article in some paper. and objected strongly against going into the vat, but finally made the plunge. Most of the cattle had been dipped before and did not give much trouble. A number were calves about six months old. and looked like drowned rats when they came out. One little fellow that had never been dip- ped had so many ticks on it and was so poor and weak that he fell down after swimming thru the dope and could not rise for a considerable time. The other calves had no trouble but seem- ed to like the experience, thus giving a striking example of the benefits of dipping. A goodly number of citizens from several miles around Mir. Ford drive their cattle to his vat. The way they do is, for a number in the same community to telephone each other. and so they gather a bunch of cattle as they drive along the road, and by the time they get there they have a good drove and all help with the dip ping.
