are welcome.
Robt. Bruce gave a hard times ball
in Wood Lake last Friday. Allen Ben
son was down from Arabia and says ,
"How shamefully they will treat such
an occasion. Instead of dressing in
rags to represent hard times they dis
played as much finery and agony too
as their means would permit. If the
young people would but appreciate
such opportunites they would enjoy
better times. "
The Misses Whetstone drove to
Arab.a Friday evening , intending to
ride down to Wood Lake on the train ,
but alasl The train was too quick. I
regret to say it bat the ladies looked
rather provoked when they realized
their situation , and I believe they were
inclined to blame the innocent ones for
their disappointment.
