Go the; Bee Hive for bargains in Boots and Shoes. One of those events that go so far toward uiakiug life pleasant occurred at the residence of James Hooper, at the North end of Railroad street, on Thursday night of last week. The occasion was the 35th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hooper, and their friends deter

mined upon giving them a pleasant surprise. The program was so arranged that the victims should be invited to take supper with Mrs. Lydia Hooper, and the raiding party thus having be

come possessors of the house early in th.e evening, began to prepare for the event. Mrs. Charles Tourner, .Mrs. E. P. Aid amis, and" other ladies, had full possession of the premises, and were gleefully putting things in shape, when a part of the surprise prematurely exploded. Mr. Hooper came home for a coat and caiight the invaders in the act. He was cornered, however, and made to take a solemn obligation to lock up in the inmost recess of his bosom all that he then and there saw and heard. The obligation was faithfully kept. When Mr. and Mrs. Hooper returned from "Aunt Lydia V they found their house in darkness. As they entered, and were looking about for matches, a sudden turning up of

lights revealed the presence of invading forces. Mrs. Hooper didn't know whether she was awake or dreaming, but that merry company was not long in convincing her of the reality of the surroundings. There was a feast already spread fit for Kings, and for the rest of the evening the happy and successful affair was heartily enjoyed.

Preceding the organization of the prohibition club, in this city, last week, there was a lively debate, some of the Republicans present opposing the organization,., and charging that the prohibitionists had turned Ohio over to the Democrats and came near doing the same with Iowa. It was purely a Republican fight, except that J. F. Pittman took occasion to suggest that it was corruption and not prohibition

that beat, the Ohio Republicans, There were but a few Democrats present, and they enjoyed the sport hugely. Rey. McNary ancj, R. A. Foster led the debate on the part of the prohibitionists, and Postmaster MoPheeters and Major Mulky on the part of the oping'Jiepiihlicans. T. A. Peck and wife and child, who have been visiting here a short time, returned to their home at Waldo, Florida, this week.? Mr. Peck is a son-in-law of Michael Gabbert, and moved fiom Bloomington to Florida about eight years ago. He has been attending the Exposition and took much interest in the display made by his State, which, by the way, is a very fine one. Mr. Peck left with us to sample a box of fine cigars made at Waldo from tobacco raised in that neighborhood. Wo found them fully equal to the famous "Key West" brand.

The artesian well men have not as yet succeeded in getting their pump out.
