prettiest affairs given to the younger
set this season. Although the rain fell

present, and while all was “dark and
dreary.’’ Without, the bright and happy
faces within proved that the down pour
did not quench their jubilant spirits
Miss Burns’ girlish beauty was
charmingly brought out by the dainty
pink silk gown which she wore. She

day caused the streams to overflow
their banks and spread over con
siderable territory, washing the
land badly and delaying farm work
to a considerable extent. The two
creeks bordering this city on the
north and south were in a turbu
lent mood and as far out of their
channels as they were ever known
to be. Many of our citizens con
gregated on the banks of these
streams Sunday evening and
watched the roaring and raging
waters in tfieir mad rush to the sett.
The ugly clouds passed entirely out
of view just after midday, the wind
ceased its howling, the sun came
out in all its splendor, and the af
ternoon was as calm and peaceful
as a summer’s dream’.
