The Scott Concert.
The entertainment given by the Scott
family at the Methodist church hist Satur
day night was a financial success if nothing
more. Tho singing was fair. A comical
spcecli by Mr. Scott elicited considerable
merriment and applause. The feature of
the evening, however, was the voting for tho
most popular young lady and gentleman in
the audience. On the first ballot Miss Sum
mers received 20 votes, Miss Davis 12. G. F
Hall 2, and a number of other young ladles
a lesser amount. After tho fourth ballot
all the contestants were dropped with the
exception of the Misses Summers and Davis
when the latter won the coveted honor by a
vote of 230 to 221, It is needless to add that
tho young ladies' respective best fellows
were in attendance, and that to a Scout
reporter who was present the question as to
which of the young ladies was the most
popular depended upon which of tho afore
said young gentlemen was backed by tho
largest sack. Votes cost 15 cents at first
but dropped to 5 cents before the polls were
closed.
