Christinas at Lin wood#
Linwood, Dec. 30.—After a
storm there is a great calm. < Jl.rist
mas has come and gone, and it
was enjoyed very much by a ma
jority of the people. We had the
j nicest time we ever had before in
one week. It was a week of sport
and fine dinners. The good ladies
in this vicinity are noted in the
preparation of good dinners.
At Linwood church on the night
I of the 24tii the good people had a
Bow instead of a Cliristmas tree.
It was very nice and full of pres
ents for the children, all of whom
went home with happy hearts.
Mr. T. V. Hodge and Miss
Yearty were united in wedlock on
Sunday last. We wish the young
couple much success, Iiappiness
and prosperity through life.

Amoski: va, Jan. 2 1 s:)0.—Pr< f.
and Mrs. C. A. Thompson, after
enjoying a pleasant visit home, re
turned to Forsyth Tuesday.
Miss Ellen Carswell, a charm
ing young lady from Irwinton, is
'pending sometime with Mrs. J.
>S. C. Marsliall.
The Fantastirs from Eastman,
wire much enjoyed Cliristmas
day. They paid their respects to
the general manager who treated
the company to cigars.
The ball given at the Amoskeag
ball on the 2C>tIi. was a most en¬
joyable occasion. Through some
misunderstanding, only the lead¬
ing violini t of the orchestra eu
gaged came, and it was thought
that the ball would have to be post
noned, but Prof. W. A. Shank, who
is always equal to the occasion,
moved his piano to the hall, and
Prof, th A. Thompson kiiullv con
sented to assist, and thereby those
"'lio attended were favored with
■ particularly good music. Mr, Os
is leader of the orchestra at
the Hotel Brunswick, is a master
of the violin. The witching strains
from his hand accompanied by the
skilful touch of Prof, C. A. Thomp
son, tilled the hall with glowing
melody, charming all with its
sweetness.
Oli what joy with this
Can compare in bliss,
As we join the mazy dunce,
livery -tepjn tune with cliann of rhyme
Such theme doth e’n enhance.
A charming musical was given
Alomlay evening at the residence
of Mrs- E. Ii. Bacon, an evening
replete with sincere enjoyment to
^ » f S«"'l *m.»ic, inter
persed with graceful recitations
and delicious refreshments were
served by tiie hostess. The mu
sic was a rare treat, the finely cul
fured voices showing careful train
ing, combined with natural ability
and the perfect system of their in
si rue tor, I’rof. C. A. Thompson of
Forsyth, M. F. G. The Misses Ba¬
con have charming voices, soprano
and contralto, clear, pure and me¬
lodious. Mrs. Shank, a peculiar
and graceful soprano. Miss Lida
Colcord lias a magnificent contra,
to voice with a range of nearly 4
octaves, which she lias under per¬
fect control.
A select party was given new
years eve at the residence of Airs.
J. T. Colcord, to watch New year
in. A very pleasant time was spent
in merry games, but no boy was
brave enough to kiss the pretty
grils as they fitted under the mis¬
tletoe, but kissed each other in¬
stead.
