The Ivy Clult Celebrates the Fourth. The Ivy Club, of Middleburg, gave a lawn party at the home of Miss Mar ciu App at Muhaiitaugo, on the eve of July 4th. Many friends rescinded to invitations. The members nmde great preparations anil being aided through the hospitality of the App family, the party was indeed a grand success. Music as furnished ty the MeKees orchestra and the display of fireworks was magnificent. The evening was spent in the dillerent games of interest ana choice refreshments were served iu liberal proportions. After lunch the guests were compelled to retreat to the roomy mansion lor protection during a thunderstorm. Here they were enter tained by Mi.ss llolmiin, of Liverpool, who recently returned from Chicago where she had received instructions in oratory. She soon convinced the mer rymakers of a wonderful talent as an elocutionist by her recital of a few choice selections of the Shakcsnei iMii order. Many of the friends remained over night and all seemed to enjoy a few hours sleep with the exception of a few of the ladies who, with the strain and excitement of the evening on Hi ir minds, fancied they were in fi.iry In ml maseuradiiig iu double file, lireakl'ast was served in due time afterwhich the guests departed feeling very thankful that thare was an Ivy club and an App family.

Herrold nnd W. H. Richenbauch. Admitted His Guilt. A drunken man staggered into church on Sunday and sat down in the pew of one of the deacons. The preacher wits dismissing about prevalent poplar vices. Soon he exclaimed; "where is the drunkard?" The drunken man was far enough gone to think the call personal, so rising heavily, replied, "Here I am," and remained standing while the drunkard, s character and fate were eloquently portrayal. A few minut later the preacher readied another head of discourse, and asked, "Where is the hypocrite?" Gently nudging his neighlsir, the drunkard said, "Stand up deacon, lie means you this time. Stand up and take it like a man, just a I stand. It will do you good."-Ex. A Pitchfork Swindle. A gang of swindlers are reported to be victimizing the farmers of nearby counties with a scheme thst it seems no sane person would entertain ft ra moment. The salesmen ns they claim to he, approach a man with the propo sition that lie shall become their agent for a patent pitchfork. He is present ed with a sample for his good looks and signs an agreement to sell pitch forks to his neighbors. The agreement proves to le a judgement note nnd the poor man finds himself impaled on the pitchfork that the other fellow was us lug. The slippery gentlemen have made some good hauls, their profits ranging from $73 to $430 per fork. MAKKir.D. On thef.th Inst by He v. W. A. Haas Samuel E. Smith and Cora E.
