Mr. Otto Amberg, .of the firm of
H. Amberg & Bro., merchants, doing
i business at Rutersville, was in town
I Monday, and made the Journal a
pleasant call. •
Mr. John ,Schuhmacher, proprietor
of the LaGrange ice factory, has re-
cently hacj a well bored near the fac-
tory to the depth of nearly 160 feet,
which affords him an abundant sup-
ply of water for all purposes. The
well was bored by Messrs. Taylors of
West Point.
Miuses Littie Moore, Nellie Brad-
shaw, Rettie Schuhmacher, Zula Mc-
Clatchy and Annie Blanton, under
the escort of Master Wright Moore,
went to Schulenburg last Friday and
attended the closing exercises of the
Schulenburg Academy, returning
ho.me Saturday.
From Mr. Heintze of Warrenton,
who was in town Monday, the Journal
learns that preparations on a large
scale for the celebration of the
Fourth of July, at Oldenburg, are
going on and in contemplation. He
says one of the principal improve-
ments of a permanent character, will
be a large dancing hall 60x80, with
private dressing rooms for ladieis and
other conveniences for their accom-
modation and that of their children;
that nothing will be wanting when
it is completed, that will contribute
to their comfort and pleasure. That
it is the intention -of the citizens of
Oldenburg, Warrenton and surround-
ing country, to make the approaching
celebration one of the grandest af-
fairs of the kind that has ever taken
place in the county. A cordial invita-
tion is extended to the citizens of
this and surrounding counties to at-
tend and participate in the festivi-
ties.
F. L. G’s. First Anniversary
Tuesday was the anniversary of
the Fayette Light Guard, and a grand
and royal occasion it was. The young
ladies knowing that the exchequer of
the company needed replenishing in
order to meet and pay the remainder
due on their uniforms, concluded
they would do something to aid them
in extinguishing their indebtedness.
So they resolved to get up a dinner
on the occasion and ice cream sup-
per at night. They went to work
with an energy seldom equalled, sev-
eral days in advance, and by 12
o’clock noon Tuesday, they had spread
on their tables in the courthouse park
a sumptuous dinner embracing ev-
erything that could be obtained in
this market. Everybody admits that
it was superb, in every respect and
reflected . great credit on the fair
ones, who were instrumental in get-
ting it up. They were very liberally
patronized and greatly encouraged to
hope for a grand and final success
at night, in which they were not dis-
appointed.
^ At an early hour the people began
to assemble at 'the park and in a
short time it was thronged with men,
women and children. The Light
Guard under the command of Captain
Willrich, gave an exhibition drill,
which elicited the admiration of all
who beheld it. The young men cer-
tainly deserve great credit for the
efforts they have made to become
perfect.
After the drill was over, Major B.
F. Dunn, who had kindly consented
to make a speech on the occasion,
delivered an appropriate address, in
which he reviewed the military prow-
ess of the citizen soldiery of the
United States, and their achieve-
ments from 1776 down to and includ-
ing the late war. The speech was re-
plete with thrilling reminiscences
and aroused the valor and enthusiasm
of all who heard it.
After the conclusion of the Major’s
address, everybody at one and the
same time (it seemed) remembered
that there was an abundance of ice
cream on the grounds, and devoted
the remainder of the evening to par-
taking of the delicious luxury.
During the evening the young la-
dies were very active, waiting upon
the crowd which thronged the tables,
and disposing of chances in the raffle
for a large cake, which was won by
Mr. Gus. Mehringer.
The drawing in the lottery for a
handsome chromo representing Nia-
gara Falls, came off during the even-
ing, and Mr. Frank. Janda, foreman
of the Journal office, was the lucky
holder of the winning ticket.
One of the interesting features of
the occasion was - a drill by eight
young Misses under 12 years of age,
who were handsomely dressed in
white, with blue trimming studded
with white stars, representing the
American flag, without stripes. They
were put through various evolutions
by Mr. John Killough, which they
executed very creditably.
The Journal would take pleasure in
making especial mention of many of
the young ladies who contributed to-
ward getting up the dinner and sup-
