Show A HARD TIMES PARTY OF '47. Fountain Green. On the 3rd. instant the Young Ladies of this place gave a "Hard Times Party, "in our spaceous meeting meet-ing House, which was, indeed, an event of the season. We are proud of our Young Ladies and congratulate congratu-late them on their success. They always know how to carry triumphantly triumph-antly anything they undertake. Respecting there costume w certainly cer-tainly think they deserved the laurels If there was a "Belle of the ball" it was certainly the person of Miss. Olson who represented a Swedish emigrant lady just come across Jhe plains. The next deserving mention was Miss. Jacobson representing a Danish lady. It was.indeed, amusing amus-ing to obsesve hew these two remained re-mained to-gether and conversed in their "native language" during the evening. Of course they could not understand the standard language excepting when at a loss for a proper word in their own, however, they soon learned to recognized an invitation invi-tation to take a dance. The young men also did their part well. Many of them came as the hardy farm boy, which was nicely represented in Louis and Joe. Although no six-shooters were carried, car-ried, the "Cow boy" was well represented, rep-resented, probably the most famous was Thomas with his red shirt and James with his appropriately patched patch-ed pantaloons. One feature reminding us of old times was our School Teacher presenting pre-senting himself at the door-with his partner on his arm?nd a half bushel of wheat on his shoulder to pay his ticket, which created a large smile of mirth throughout the room. This trait seemed to add to the 'pleasure of a few of the older people peo-ple who had called in to witness the times of yort returned and who also expressed everything well represented represent-ed and themselves well pleased. We are in hopes that Our Young Ladies will soon favor us with another an-other treat. |
