On the evening of the 7th inst., a ball was given at Waldo under the management of Chas. Decker. Owing to the misunderstanding there were not as many present as was anticipated; still the evening was passed very pleas antly. At midnight an excellent sup per, prepared under the immediate supervision of Miss Decker,was partak en of. For a substantial and tempting supper, commend me to Miss Decker. Prominent among those present were Miss Mary Hogue, Miss Ernie Wood cock, Miss Adelia Hogue, Miss Mary Gardiner, Miss McBriaty, Messrs. Abe Hervey, Dr. Holton, Robt. Chamber lain, P.M. McBriaty, H.
