On Thursday night, the young
people of our town highly enjoyed
the hospitality of the pleasant

took wings and soared away on
the balmy breezes of fairylands.
In the midst of enjoyment the
hostess announced the time had
come to repair to the dining room,
where refreshments were served
to cap the climax of the evening.
Music, from the regularity of
noise and laughter to the sublime
and profound Sonatas of Beeto
ven, was heard to leave its ever
lasting impress on all present.
When the hours began to grow
ha»y with the morning, the hap
py throng adjourned with many
expressions of kind regards for
the most excellent enjoyment of

Our friend Lonnie Best, who is
an excellent sample of the tutor
ship of Col. Stafford, made some
splendid pictures last week. He
took one of the News man land if
our Johny brother of He View
would come and have one taken
and hang same in the Post Office,
I have no doubt some lady would
soon be coming around selling
complexion powders etc. Try it
Mr. Johny. May Lonnie become
a Raphael in his line.
We can’t see the philosophy of
some men's lives. Just to think
that our young men will allow
their appetites to overide their
reason. To see young men who
should be the pridef^ofl'their
country, return home from Pair j
Oaks Augusta and other ,tanking I
resorts walking as if the muscles j
and sinews of their anatomy were
lost in an enchanted dream. We
deeply sympathize with them. If •
it were in onr power, we would ,
assist them out of their misfor-j
tune, but we know not I how to j j
proceed. The only advice we can j
give is do as we do not touch the i
stuff and then you are certain
that you are yourself and not
the other fellow. ;
