All are cordially invited The parties under the annpicfg of this club are bt:ir>g anxionsly looked forward to by the dancing public, and the announcement of tt*e date is sufficient to insure a good at­ tendance.

The music wa» the best, the supper was fine and the management soared no pains to make it pleaeant, and from t,he remarks we have heard it is evident they succeeded. Too much cannot be said in praiee of Baern- itein's Orchestra, which now stands at the head of any music that ever visited this village, and so well are they thought of by the dancing public that the mere announcement that they wil) be hero insures a large attendance^ IN an Austin, Nevada, paper we find an account of the death ef William Dougherty, a son <«f Michael Dougherty, of tbis village, which o<?curred at a place called Big Creek, fifteen miles south of Austin, on the night of December 24th. It appears that Dougherty and a man by the name of Guiliery, for whom be was at work, had been in Austin all day Saturday and started for Big Creek early in the evening, and arrived there betw<en eleven and twelve o'clock. Soon after their arrival some trolible arose between them and a fight occurred, ip which Dougherty was stabbed with a knife, killing him almost instantly. The mur­ derer gave himself up to the authorities claiming the deed was done in self-de fenee. We understand that Willi.m. Dougherty left this county about 20 years ago, and has resided in the vicin­ ity of Austin ever since. He was 44 years of aaje and nnmarried. It will be sad news for his relatives and friends in this section.

DEATH OF FBaS J. / DIED.--At his home, north-west of this /village, on the Greenwood road, oft Fri- ' day morninsr, Dec. 30tb, 1898, of Con­ sumption, Fred J. Sherburne, aged 34 yearn, Ave months and sixteen days. Fred J. Sherburne was the youngest <son of Robt Sherburne, of this village, was born in the town of Nunda, and has lived in this vicinity all his life. He was a young man of sterling integrity, and practiced the precept "Do unto other as ye would that others should do unto you." His sick­ ness was of nhort duration, be being con­ fined to the house only about five weeks.

He declined rapidly until death came as a relief as above stated. He leaves a wife, one child about two years old, an aged father, mother, brother and sisters to mourn his early de mise, who hav? the heartfelt sympathy of all in this, their hour of sorrow.

One shows in bold relief "Poverty Hill," the camp where we had so great a number sick. In the foreground is the Colonel's quarters, showing Col. Bennett, Major Jackson, Major Shaw, and others of the principal officers of the regiment. Off in the background lies a low ridge of moun­ tains, along the ridge df which we bad our outposts. Between the Colonel's quarter* and Poverty Hill can be seen a short stretch of the Queen's Highway, aloug which our brigade marched in its advance on Cayey. The picture is clear cut and full of detail. The second ,1s an excellent view of the Plaz i deOuayaraa, in the city of Guay- ama, which city has about 15,000 in­ habitants.; The Plaza is full of luxuriant tropical vegetation and natives. Among the natives are Bruno's t'iree daughters, typical Spaniards. In the background is the old Catholic Cathedral, from the steps' of which Gen. Brooke used to vatch dress parade. Each batallion formed in the road and faced inward, oc­ cupying three sides.

Anson Thompson, of Crystal Lake, met with a painful accident last reek Friday Dec. 30th. Mr. Ti ompson re­ sides on his farm near Crystal Lake and owns a piece of timber land about fours miles west of Crystal Lake, where they cut fire wood for his own and his tenants use. They went to this timber lot Fri­ day morning to cut and haul home a couple of loadsfof wood and had cut off a large tree, and as it fell it lodged in the tops of other trees, standing near, and did not clear itself from the stump and the butt of the tree rested on top of the stump. While the men were trying to move it from the stump to dislodgq. from the tree tops it slipped suddenly, and caught Mr. Thompson's big toe on his right foot and dissevered it near thd joint holding the foot, boot and Overshoe fast, until Mr. Eegstbim and the hirer! man by much effort succeeded in moving the tree enough to release the foot. Mr. Thompson was brought home at once and Dr. Hull was called to dress the in­ jured member. Upon examination Dr.- Hull found it necessary to amputate the toe a little back of the first joint which he did very successfully and with the ex­ ception of tho pain attending such an injury the patient is as comfortable as could.be expected. ; Cotton Bats, the best stock in towm At Simon Stoffel's.
