were baptized in the cleansing
waters of our favorite resort, the

ministered to the dusky people.
The colored population of the city

that there have v>een not less than
500 baptisms among them in the

deposited in that sapphire conca-
vity known as the Blue Hole to
damn a thousand worlds.

the evening's pleasures was a re-
qui.ement that each and every
young man should give a descrip-

lady accompanied, and the boys
weie all caught unawares. Many of
them failed to remember even the
color of the ladys' dresses,and when
it came to describing the trimmings
or garnitures, or telling the style
or make the boys were not in it at
all. One young man, (and a dry
goods man at that) broke complete-
ly down, and said that all he knew
was that the lady he accompanied
wore a dress and that the dress was
dry goods.
John T. McDaniel milked 299
