The Black Creek Literary Society drew out a very small crowd on Wednesday night, owing to the frigidity of the atmosphere. A short but lively debate was giveu on the subject of spooks.

The event of the winter season came off on Ground Hog Day, at my cosy clapboard castle near coon hollow. On the evening of that day, assisted by Miss Adie White, I gave a banquet and reception to a number of bachelor friends. Music was furnished by Shanklin Brothers' orchestra. A number of Wide Awake bovs as well as Black creek ers were present to partake of the "feast of reason and the flow of soul.'' The exercises opened with a supper, which was highly complimented by rapid disappearance, followed by tumblers of orange cider to wash down the viands and justify the toasts. The first toast was: The ground liog," and was drank in silence. The next toast was: ''The

Ladies.'' It was responded to by Ellis Gray as follows: "Here's to the ladies,

God bless'em, In silks and satins We'll dress 'em With candy and gum

We'll cram 'em, God—bless 'em.''

A number of other toasts were given, after which Billy Steele read a paper on "The Advantages of a Single Life.'' Elmer Miller and Ellis Gray cut the pigeon wing and cracked a few musty jokes. One of the boys from abroad, I grieve to state, got as full as a goat. The festivities closed with song and dance by the entire party.
