After spendiug on . of the most pleasant evenings of their lives, the hapy company left for t heir hornet i a late hour, all leav ing their be wishes, to Mr. Allison and wife ait to their daughters Misses Emma an Debbie, who deserve speci 1 praise for the success of the Kappa i hanksgiving dinner 1 O.

Court is in session this week.

The spacious parlors of Mr. J. H

Allison were crowded to the utmost

Thanksgiving in answer td the invatations sent out by the Kappa Kappa Gamma college fraternity. The young people who were so fortunate as to hold invitations looked forward to the event with considerable interest knowing as they did that the rarest social events of our city are t'lOco given. by the fraternities, and it is fair to say that this one far exceeded any former effort. On entering the house one's attention could not escape being lixed on the beautiful decorations, being entirely of Japanese style, such as panels,

placques, and fans, many of which were very quaint aud.rare. In the i ntcr of the room was a beautiful

arch covered with moss aud flowers from the center of which swung a white dove, the design representing the grand seal of the fraternity. The gathering of the c -mpai y was one o f peculiar interest, about seventy-five invitations having bi en issued, and as each laily entered it seemed as though she wove a richer

costume than the one preceeamg

her. Costumes represented, as worn by

the I dies, were: Louis Buskirk

pink nuns veiling; Mattie N ailing

lord cream nuns-veiling with satiu

bodice; Libbie Small rear! colored

silk with black border; Lillie Howe

red silk with point-lace; Debbie

At six o'clock dinner was announ ced, and the jolly company found its way to the dinning hall, where onej'elt like offering thanks as lie had never done before. It seemed as though nothing had been left undone aud it was evident that this feature of the social was bv no means least ap(c ciated, and each did what was nis part to do; thus 'ere long many of the beauties of the table vanished. '1 he souvenirs were something especially novel, being hand painted clothes-pins bearing the initial letters of the faternity and being tied with the fraternity colors, aud served as naj-kin rings. There is not room to describe the

manner in wiucn ino courses were served, but all returned to the parlors feeling refreshed and ready for more enjoyment. 'Jhe rest of the even iug was spent in social pleasures, mingled with sweet strains dispended by members of the party Among those who were present from a distance were Miss Lettie Snyder, of .Martinsville; Miss Olive Batman, of Bedford; H. Elder of Indianapolis; B. F. Hays, of Worthington, and Will II alderman, of Larvifie; Messrs. Pierce and Marshall, of Greencastle. Among the married persons preientwere Prof. 8.

HERETO roup, the Telepiionb ba strongly advocated the pavment in full of the McKinnev bond, bat iff now seems m though our v ommissi oners could not d a better thing; for the county than to accept, the compromise that Ik e beeu olfeu-d by the men intcrcbtti The expeiiee of years of litigation, with the use of the mouev that is so badlv needed immediately, makes it almost necessaiy for some settlement to be made at once; then again it will settle the ct estion ! to wl e thar the county will get anything or not, which to say the least i doubtful, as there is a question of lega ity. Agai n it seems better if there is any monpy to be lout, better let our own citizens and the se who have always worked for Monroe county be t'.ic gainers, and not spend it all in a tight against these men.
