Der of the operatives ut the Crescent

esteem in which they held their late
manager, Mr.. Lott II. Joy. Mr..

cent mills in various capacities for
twelve or fifteen years, and in that
time has won tho respect and conf
dence of the men with whom he has
been associated. After 1t had become
known that he had dissolved his con-
nection with the Crescent, the employees
resolved to present him with a tangl-
| bic and valuable testimonial of their
regard for him, and to carry out
their design they contributed a
sum sufficient 10 purchase an ele-
giant gold watch aud chain, both of

In response Mr.. j. spoke at consider
able length and with much feeling.
Other short addresses were made by
Messrs. Banks, L. w. Stevens, Sr.,

wero frequently applauded. The COM
pany dispersed, regretting that one
with whom they had been SO long and
pleasantly associated was about to

whole affair was happily conceived and
handsomely carried out,-reflecting
