The return dance given by the young men at Jenkins' Hall Saturday night was a pronounced success, notwith standing the inclement weather. Quite a number of out-of-town young people were in attendance, and joy reigned supreme until a late hour. The music consisted of three pieces harp, violin and cornet, and everyone was more than well pleased with it. Prof. Black is the leader of the band, and that he has the same well trained for dancing music, all who were present will attest. So well pleased were the boys with the music and attendance that they feel highly elated at the outcome. They thought of postponing the dance early in the evening, but could get no word to Prof. Black, notifying him not to come. "All is well that ends well." Home Burned. Mrs. G. D.

Cupid plays a peculiar game in the destiny of man; always an interesting game and always a winning game. One of the most popular, one of the most interesting and one of the most successful weddings of the season took jace in Murray last Wednesday eve ning when two hearts were thrown into the seething crucible of love, here melted to a glowing white, run into the (patrimonial mould and made as one. Yes, one beautiful golden heart with silver wings shimmering with dazzeling briliancy as it flits in the radiant sun light of joy forever. The invitations came as a surprise to all friends of the contracting parties. Here is a copy of the multiplexed invitation on Irish linen. "You are invited to attend the wed ding of Miss Violet Snow to Mr. Geo. Washington Jackson at Dr. Cil more's cabin this evening at X o'clock (in honor of Glen Boedeker, a slirn coon from the corn Held.) Being favored with a dark moon chicken will be serv- j tel. Gentlemen are requested to leave the razors at home Given under the auspices of the Gentlemen's Auxiliary of the Kensington, no ladies admitted. I Promptly at eight o'clock II err von M. Churchill, a musician from Kranzen- jammer, Germany, struck up the Schopksy Styx when the bridal party appeared headed by a colored parson, Zeke Hambone (Dr. Gilmore. ) The party was an airy dream of fairies. The bride Miss Violet Snow (S. Pitman) was dressed in the latest Parisian style of the most costly fabrics. Kamona a 'a tiger skin, burlap sash, ramjamsky plummet! hat and a bridal veil ot lace curtains that fell in waves over her ex quisite form. She refused to carry a Teddy Bear as it is now a hoodoo to colored folks. She carried a rabbit foot. Miss Lizzy Small, (A. Baker) a buxom lady of forty, left a big washing on the line to come and assist her friend on ! the road to happiness. She was gown j ed similar to the bride lace curtains, j burlap, etc. She wore such a dear sweet smile, two yards, counting what I run back behind the ears. She's going j to be married some day too. i The groom, George Washington Jack son. (Glen Boedeker) wore store cloth es. Rastus Brown, (C. A. Davis) who stood guard as best man had on a suit of clothes. After an exhortation on the bank guaranty fund, the war of the rebel lion, the Japanese war, the parson said the words that made them man and wife. Just as congratulations were being given a tremendi us noise out side broke the enchanting spell that had over come the congregation a chari vari of the ladies of the town. Mr. Jackson had to present his bride which he did proudly. A bountiful repast of three courses was served by Wm. Smith and Wm. Brown. Chicken had been passed the third time when a dwarfed ghost appeared at the door. Now, colored folks don't take much to ghosts and they stopped just there. The ghost presented a paper and fled. The paper was opened and read as follows: "Warning! Do not delay! Act at once! We are starv ing .and unless you invite us to eat chicken we will kidnap the brice. By order of the Black Hand Society.'-' A big , black hand showed upon the left hand. corner of the. page. A postscript said, "save the white meat." The order was invited in and served. After the' wedding feast Glen pre sented .the boys with a box of cigars. A few innocent games of craps were played and all, went home saying they liked to go to sich high toned wed dings. Those present were: Wm. Mc Daniels, M. G. Churchill, Dee Shrader, Dr. J. F. Brendel, J. W. Holmes, Wm. Smith, J. Loughridge, C. A. Davis, Sam Pittman, Cal. Suavely, Glen Boedeker, Earl Jenkins, D. C.

A plate shower was tendered Miss Leona Sans by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Holmes, at the new home of the latter yesterday. A. large number of the ladies of the vicinity attended to do honor to the bride-elect, and it is unneces sary to say that all enjoyed the event, and that Miss Leona . was the recipient of many plates, some which were most elegantly designed. The ladies (God bless them) always have a good time when they get together on such occa sions, and this plate shower is no ex ception to the rule. Refreshments were served at the proper hour. We still have plenty of fruit jars, fruit jar caps aud rings. Holmes & Smith office it vill u ii ca r uwhr this hiiinj.

At the usual hour lunch was served by Misses Mae Lewis, Louisa Shepherd son, EJla Thominsor id Leola Vallery and Mrs. Albert ..eeler ar.d Mrs. Wade Porter, which all did ample jus tice.

Al though still possessed with that light hearted mirthfulness, common to one much younger in years, Mrs. Wheeler is in complete possession of her culinary art, which is one great factcr in mak ing things comfortable for those around her.
