IIARN DANCE COMMITTEE
PROMISES RIO TIME j
Next Wednesday night bids fair
to he one long to be remembered
in the archives of Nome society,
for on that night, according to
plans worked oat by the committee
in charge, will be given the gala
event of the season—the A. B.
Barn Dance.
The committee has held a meet
ing and has arranged a few little
surprises for the rural visitors ex
pected to attend from the outly
ing farming sections. These sur
prises are nof to be made known
at this time however, for their
unexpectedness will be part of the
charm, for after a mystery has
been described and explained, it
ceases to be a mystery. So the
public’s curiosity is to he piqued
to the point where it will of nec
essity attend the dance in order
that it may see and be convinced
that this Barn Dance is all it is
represented to be.
I Hiram Corntosser from the Pun
i kin Tenter section has sent word
that he expects to hitch old Dob
bin to the spring wagon and bring
himself and family, along with
some of the neighbors to the do
in’s. and that he will be disap
pointed if many others of this
section do not deport themselves
likewise. Si Perkins and his
family will be there. You all
know Si—he never misses an A.
B. Barn Dance and he always
brings his charming wife and his
daughter along too. Si lives up
the crick about ten miles in that
big two-storv log house with the
big apple orchard around it. It
h from Si’s own orchard that the
big juicy apples for the Barn
f>ance were secured. Timothy
Hay and his tribe and a lot of
his neighbors are going to knock
off work and come to town for the
big show. And you all know that
when Hi. Si. and Tim. come to
town—they being the leading lights
in their respective sections, a good
ly number trail along to see what
is going to happen. And on New
Year’s Eve there’s plenty going to
happen.
The best fiddlers for miles
around have been hired for this
dance. They come prepared to
play anything from a buck-and
wing to a wedding march—and
it might happen that either or
both will be fitting and proper for
that n^ght. Their euphonious
endeavors are expected to tickle
the feet of the devotees *of Terp
sichore to a degree never before
accomplished and a harvest of re
grets will surely be the portion of
anyone who loves the art of danc
ing and does not attend that night.
One of the rural patrons of the
dance has promised to haul in a
barrel of his best sweet cider, and
this, together with the apples from
Si Perkins’ orchard will help to
enliven the dance.
Farmers Dave L. Hofer and
Harry Little have promised to fix
up the barn and see that it’s all
in readiness for the gathering
Dave declares that he is going to
hang up all the gears and run the
wagons and buggies and farming
tools out into the back pasture
and make lots of room. He says
he’d like to try his hand at a
little decorating too, but that It’s
danged near useless in a country
where one can’t get mistletoe for
that purpose. ^Ve wonder what
Dave means about this mistletoe
—but be assured—Dave knows.
Harry Little says he's going to
sweep all the trash off’n the bam
floor and make it so tarnation
slick for the dancers that they
will think they are flying instead
of dancing. Farmer Slim Ry
deen is going to ladle out the
cider and apples and make him
self generally useful and orna
mental around the premises, and
l*-nd a hand elsewhere if needed.
Farmer Harry Gabrielson is one
of the fiddlers—we didn’t intend
to tell that, but since he’s one of
the committee, his duties have to
be told, so that in case our guests
do not enjoy themselves, they will
know who to blame. Harry is
chairman of the committee too and
it. will keep him busy seeing that
the rest of the committee does
something. Farmer Woofter is
to tack up the dodgers around
town and in the country and see
that something is said In the pa
pers about the dance and to see
that It is advertised, and on the
night of the dance he may help
the fiddlers a little too, along
with Gabe.
This is not to be a white collar
affair. We expect onr guests, to
enjoy themselves and not have 'to
go to too much trouble preparing
.
for it. Coaie right along with
your drill shirts and overalls boys,
and tell your sweeties to wear their;
ginghams—that's the way we learn j
ed to love ’em. and that’s the way |
v. e want to see ’em. Any old kind !
ct footgear will do. for remember ■
it is a Barn Dance. Never mind a
shine—it won’t last long anyway
after the fun starts.
It is expected to throw a little
confetti and serpentine at midnight,
and right here we want to caution |
folks against mixing rocks and
gravel with their confetti. It’s
hard on the complexion when ap
plied that way. and besides Harry
Little has to sweep out the barn
after the dance is over and he in
sists ou po darnicks being thrown.
At midnight the committee ex
pects to make a little noise. In
fact if Dave Hofer’s plans work
out. he will make the word “noise”
ashamed of itself, as having never
r eant anything in particular be
fore that time. The Year 1924
will be blessed out and cussed out
for the blessings and misfortunes
it has brought, as it may Suit the
individual taste and circumstances,
and the Year 1925 will be coaxed
in with many flirtatious maneu
vers. hoping to coddle the young
ster into a merciful and munifi
cent mood upon first acquaintance.
And you'll all enjoy the dancing
that follows. It will be the first
ol the year and there will be no
more barn dances until about this
time next year.
But there is no use to try to tell
you about this dance. Yon will
have to attend it in order not to
cheat yourselves out of a mighty
good time.
Dancing will start promptly at
9:30 and will close when the
dancers get good and ready. Gen
tlemen will be charged $1.50 at
the door, and the ladies. God bless
’em, will enter free. The entrance
to the dance floor will be through
tie upstairs portion of the build
iig, where Calvin G. Brinker will
relieve you of your change, boys.
