The residence of A. J. Pate was well
filled , last Thursday evening , on the oc
casion of the "Mum Sociable" held un
der the auspicesnof the Ladies' Guild of
the Episcopal church. That the even
ing was an enjoyable one , goes without
the saying. The ladies realized about
$15 from the affair. It is currently cir
culated that Friend Forbes "uttered not
a word" during the evening. Lest our
reporter's veracity might be called into
question , we would suggest that while
the statement sounds strange and wierd.
it is not without a hhado of genuineness.
However , we have not the hardihood to
vouch for it.

The Catholic Fair and Bazaar which
opened at the Opera HallTuesday even
ing , and which closes to-night , has so
far proven a grand success , in the bring
ing together of large assemblies to en
joy themselves in a social way , and in
faceuring large financial assistance to aid
the society in liquidating the debt incur
red by the building of their church edi
fice. The members of the church have
taken the greatest interest in the fair
and saved not money nor labor in mak
ing it a pre-eminent success. And that
they have succeeded , the large crowds
attest which have been present the last
two evenings. To-night the principal
prizes will be drawn , and the prospects
are that the hall will be crowded.
weet Michigan Cider of excel
lent quality at the City Bakery.
Among the "home industries' ' of
which the people of this state are proud ,
we mention as being pre-eminent , the {
Crete Nurseries. Under the superin- I
!
tendency of E. F. Stephens , the Crete j
Nurseries have successfully weathered j |
the disastrous of lS74-5-G-7-Sand
years - - - - ,
in the last four years this flourishing en
terprise has quadrupled its business.
They are now better able than ever , with
their greatly increased stock , ( grown
with special reference to the demands of
the trade , ) and facilities , to meet the
every want of the people of the state ,
in the way of forest , fruit and ornamen
tal trees , vines , shrubsetc. , The supe
riority of the stock grown by the Crete
Nurseries is well understood by those
who have been patrons of the nursery in
past years. The success which has at
tended the growing of the stock sold by
the nursery in this vicinity , last season ,
has been most encouraging to patron
and proprietor , and the sales so far this
season have been much larger than last.
A special agent of the nursery will lo
cate at McCook , this winter , and this
western country will be thoroughly can
vassed. The Crete Nurseries recom
mend themselves.
