    Fourth hop of the series of the Deadwood Social Club was given last evening at Kiemer Hall, and as usual, the floor was completely filled. The enjoyment was so great that it was the general remark that the evening was too short by far. One pleasant feature of these socials is the fact of visitors from adjoining cities and camps participating, and last evening was not an exception to the rule. Quite a number of couples from Lead and Central were in attendance just as well as though they resided in the metropolis. The club will give two more of the regular series, and probably end the winter enjoyment with a masquerade, or pillow case party, about the last of March or first of April.

    Deadwood Social Club gave their last party on Thursday night, under the original assessment. This Club has been very satisfactorily conducted under the executive committee this season, and the subscribers all feel well satisfied with the result, so much so that it is altogether likely that there will be two more parties given. The idea of the committee is to give one more party and then close the season with a grand masquerade, which if done will be one of the finest affairs of the kind ever given in the Hills. By all means give two more dances.
