The Valentine Masquerade.
The Children’s Valentiue mas
querade at the Court house last
Friday night was oue of the most
entertaining social events ever
eujoyed in Perry.
The children in masque assem
bled in the Sheriff’s and Commis
sioners’offices on the first floor,
and at the proper time were ar
ranged in pairs under the direc-'
tion of Mr. B. C. Holtzclaw and
several ladies. After marching
up stairp, the maskers were intro
duced by Mr. W. J Moore, and
the fun began. Marching around
the court room were 08 chil
dren ranging in age from 8 to 15
years. The costumes were all
good, and the characters well rep
resented.
Sitting around the room were
about a hundred older people who
enjoyed the scene as much as did
the children in masque. The un
masking caused much merriment,
showing the mistakes that had
been made in the efforts to recog
nize the maskers. Lat.er the chil
dren in costume engaged in popu
lar games, aud within about two
hours the masquerade was con
cluded.
A vote of thanks was given Mr.
Ben C. Holtzclaw for suggesting
