ing a small place wbr soon flooded with
people from Blue Hill, Bladen, Red

taxing their accommodations to their
utmost. The calithumpian parade,
though rather short, was comical and

was to furnish the amusement.
Beautiful flro-worka were fired to
illumine the heavens in the ovening.and
the dance hall was a scene of gayety,
which was brought to a sudden ending
by a s term. The rain camo so unawares
that people were forced to seek refuge
in stores, and were held there all night
by the hardest rain wo havo had for five
years. Tho hotel floors and store coun
ters wero crowded, as accommodations
were not to bo had. Somo Red Cloud

Bought shelter in farm houses, and ono
