Paid for Their Fun.

Tuesday evening a number of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Randle prepared a surprise party for them, and among the refreshments prepared for the occasion was a tub of brick ice cream. Goff & Son delivered the cream on the porch and when the guests went to look for it the cream had disappeared. Officers were called and soon collected enough evidence that it would have been an easy matter to have located the guilty parties. Traces of the cream and boxes containing it were found all the way from the railroad to town. Near the school houses a brick of it was presented to a young man and his best girl who were sparking at the gate, and they enjoyed a feast on the steps of the Christain church. Yesterday morning the cream was settled for and the matter was dropped.
