Grandpa Stone is better. The thanksgiving ball is the talk of the surrounding country at present. Ye writer has attended several sheet and pillow case masquerades and enjoyed them very much for various reasons, most of all be cause it is so little trouble to mask where you ran just wrap a sheet over you, put a pillow case on your head, and you have got on the rig and all done in a minute. I w II just hint that the larger the sheet the better, so that when it is draped on you it will al most or entirely hide your clothing, mak ing it impossible for others to reoognlre you. So now, when you see the boys and girls swarming to Viola from all points of the compass on Thanksgiving day, each one carrying a bundle resembling tn sir.e and appearance four bits worth ot sugar, you may know it contains a sheet and pil low slip, with which to make as droll and comical sight as one ever witnessed.
