Veritas.
Cassville is always alive to anything
that will furnish enjoyment and enter
tainment; so in accordance with the
characteristic spirit of our people, quite
a large number ot young folks, together
with a few elder ones, assembled at the
residence of Mr. R. B. Smith Friday night
for the purpose of a social entertainment
in the shape of a spelling bee. After ar
ranging the manner in which to conduct
it, MissesMonaChunn and Alma Gilreath,
two of Cassville’s most charming young
ladies, were selected as captains, and
proceeded to choose two sides to contest
with each other at spelling. It was gen
erally understood that the notorious
“Sam Sly” was to make himself known
on the occasiou and everybody was
anxious to see how this was to be
brought about, and as there were no
previous arrangements touching on this
point no one knew in what manner
“Samuel” would disclose his idenity.
“When two spellers had been called,
Miss Alma determined to break the ice,
said in a soft, sweet tone, “I’ll take Sam
Sly.” For a moment a silence as still as
death prevailed, and then, while all eyes
were watching with earnest expectancy
to see who would respond to that call.
Will Walton arose from his chair, slowly
walked across the room and took a
stand with the class, a mischievous
smile playing across his face all the
while. At first this was considered as a
joke by nearly every body, but finally
the reality was realized, and all with one
accord expressed themselves as being
wonderfully surprised. A complete sur
prise it was, and it was highly enjoyed
by everyone. Thus the dark veil of ob
scurity, which for some time has hidden
the writer from public view, was volun
tarily lifted, and the interest which has
heretofore been attached to the Cassville
‘dots’ will be somewhat diminished.
After the little excitement which “Sam
mie’s” disclosure occasioned the choos
ing was resumed, and soon twenty-four
spellers were spelling away at a lively
rate. We won’t tell who spelled wrong
first. (A youi g lady has intimidated
us.) George Holmes is a good speller,
and maintained a good record but by a
fatal mistake he sat down on molasses—
we mean that he spelled that word
“molases.” Bob Walton spelled ther
mometer “themometer,” and it is said
to be an actual fact that that instru
ment was insulted to such an extent
that the temperature fell fifteen degree s
within the next twenty-four hours. It
was rather chilly, but not quite cold
enough to freeze, so Mr. Smith spelled
“freze.” Bob Grilfin thought he would
impose on the credulity of the crowd
and make them believe that he was very
unfamiliar with the evil one and he
spelled “saton.” Mr. Chunn claimed
that “briar” was correct orthography,
but Mrs. Smith, who was giving out the
words, said he was mistaken, and she
had Webster on her side, and Mr. C.
came down after having sustained fin'
enviable reputation. Your correspond
ent was carrying on a “desoltory” con
versation with the girl at his side, so
after entertaining hopes of carrying off
the honors, and coining so near win
ning he took a wrong step and came
down with a dull thud.
When the first class had finally spelled
out another was called with Mr. Chunn
and Mr. George Headden as captains.
Miss Berta Smith held forth longer than
anyone in the first class and Miss Mary
Holmes captured the honors of class
second. After the spelling was through
with the merry crowd entertained them
selves in various ways, and so much was
i the occasion enjoyed that it was decided
