There was a nice dance at the Arabia
school house last Friday night. The
local musicians , known as the Arabia
Orchestra , composed of five talented
young men who would do credit to
themselves before almost any audience ,
furnished excellent music for tne oc
casion. In the appreciation of this by
the lovers of dancing and especially the
good music , nearly one hundred per-
sous gathered for a good time , bringing
baskets of good things for supper In
tending to remain long enough to get
hungry. The school house was com
modious but the stove occupied too
much valuable space and was removed
the evening being warm enough with
out it. About 80 numbers were soon
disposed of aftei having danced at
pleasure for a couple of hours. There
were more good looking girls aud hand
some men there than usually attend a
public dance and there was enjoyment
foe all with no apparent rivalry or con
testing factions. Yes , all was harmon
ious and couldn't well be otherwise
where there are good people and good
music. We ought to have a few more
subscribers for the VALENTINE DEMO
CRAT at Arabia and would like a cor
respondent from there. It is a nice
