The “Twelpth Nyght*” eutcrUimneut
given by the young ladies of Wmycroaa,
at the residence of • Mm. Olenian on
Wednesday evening, was at once, the
moat novel, and enjoyable one of the
season.
The room* were beautifully decorated
with evergreens, though the entire ab
sence of all mistletoe, caused no little
disappointment to some of the ardent
swainea.
The ladies, almost without exception,
were costume* of the last century, and
with their powdered hair added the
crowning beauty of age, to all the
charms of youth.
Indeed could their great grandmother
have seen them, they, the, “to the man
ner born/' might hare been pardened
some feeling of jealousy.
The young gentlemen for various rea
sons, mainly financial and physical, did
,_jM>t-4ppear in old time dress, but looked
their beat in preaent day costume. It
was no surprise therefore, when it was
announced Rat one of them has been
captured lira lassie, who had boldly
availed lienwlf of her leap year privi
lege^
At exactly the right time, supper Was
announced, and a supper. There
was nothing that did not tempt the ap
petite, and there was nothing absent that
could serve to gratify it
After this serious business was dispos
ed of, danelng and the more sentimen
tal diversions were resumed, until the
candles lighted to test the constancy of
the maidens—which test by the way
was in the highest degree flattering,
burned low in their sockets, when the
guest bidding the charming hostess and
her accomplished daughter good night,
feced the homeward way and the bitter
air.
jp the visiting ladies who added
b to the occasion by their pres
ence, were Miss Eva Acosta, and Miss
Susie McKinney, of Blackshear, and
Miss Maude Cook of Bamesville.
That was one of the most enjojrable

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers is composed of an intelligont and
honorable membership. The members
of that order in Way cross are as affable
a set of gentlemeu as you can find.
Their rooms in the Reed block—which
we were courteously shown through a
few days since is elegantly furnished and
has an air of permanency. The order
has recently closed a contract with the
8. F. and W. railroad on the basis of pay
for miles run, and the members are
highly gratified with the change.
The new organization of conductors
if properly managed can do much good
for their membership. We hope to see
them permanently locate in quarters of
their own at no distant date.
The new safety gates at the crossing
near the express office in nearly com-
pletedand will be the means of preventing
serious accident, several of which have
already been narrowly avoided.
The big pile of fresh clay on Plant
Avenue near the depot means that a sub
