Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-04-07


Considerable attention was paid to the
table of Mesdames Mccormack last night,
particularly to the bride, standing in queen
ly dignity, with her long train of white COW
ering a large portion Of the table, and the
silver tea set. A handsome fruit basket
presented by Mrs. Carroll, has been added
since yesterday.
Mrs. Carroll also donated toilet set to
Mrs. Flanagan, who, with Madame Costo
and number of attractive young ladies,
accomplished much for the cause.
4 The Edgefield ladies were as busy as bees
at their table, which possesses many attrac-
tons besides the inanimate articles upon
the table. Mr.. Robt. Thomson sent in a
donation, and also Miss Mary Hall and
Miss Mary Farrell each sent in contribu-
ton to this table yesterday.
The West Nashville table is a regular
beehive-industry pervading every depart
ment. This table seems to be as full now
as on the first night. Yesterday Mr.. II. N.
Pratt sent these ladies two boxes of soap.
The Refreshment Tables are doing an
excellent business. Everything these ladies
have is of the best quality, and cheap at
that. Substantials, delicacies, and luxuries
can be had here on demand. The maguifi-
cent pyramids on the confectionery table
attracted much attention and elicit COM
mendation from all. Miss Node Spain,
assisted by Misses Mandie Spain and Katie
Crutcher attracted many to the confection-
cry stand ornamented by cakes, candies,
nuts etc. These ladies are as valuable as
they are pleasant, and the graceful manner
in which they discharge the street duties of
this table, render it a popular one indeed,
deserving as it receives large patronage.
If you would know the witchery of fascina-
ting eyes or feel the happy thrill of social
converse go to this temple of good things.
Mrs. +. Sloan yesterday donated a rich
cake to this table, which already beautifed
by other cakes and CONNECTIONS, is rendered
more elegant in its many delightful contents
by this kindness of Mrs. Sloan, which is
truly appreciated by Mrs. Dougherty and
Mrs. Kinney, who conduct the table with
becoming hospitality and such suavity of
attention as to increase ones appetite to
that Of an epicurian's. Noted for their ad-
mirable taste, the retreshment stand of
these ladies must necessarily possess every
thing that is agreeable and excellent.
In this connection these ladies desire to
tender their thanks to Major j. D. Lock
hart, whose iberality in the donating last
night beSpeaks in manner more eloquent
and potent than can our pen the kindness
Of a noble heart. He surely deserves the
thanks of all, and his generous charity viii
be very long remembered with feelings of
gratitude and pleasure by the ladies and
orphans. Amoug those of magnanimous
heart contributing most largely to the
Fair may be mentioned Mrs. Sam Murphy.
This lady has shown what charity there is
in the soul of woman when aroused to the
obligations due from her to the homeless
wanderers of earth. The prayers of them
will ask her blessings and wish her happi-
ness equal to her kindness.
The "Give and Take Table" of Mrs,
Sam Medary was besieged by throng of
interested patrons last night, keeping the
attendants busy as bees in attending to their
customers. Mrs. Sam Medary returns
thanks for contributions to Mr.. John Gil
gan and Mr. d. n. Neylan. Among the for
tunate patrons Of this table last night were
Mr.. John Gilgan, who drew a handsome
chrome, Miss Matte Duncan, who drew an
elegant cake, as also did Mr.. Pat Mahoney.
In addition to these, others drew a variety of
vases and silver ware. The ladies have
made this table so pleasant that you are
compelled to patronize it, and never regret
having done so when the result of the in
vestment is realized.
Miss Jane Murray, the untiring and ever
cheerful superintendent of the Sunday
school table, yesterday received several ad-
dltlonS TO her stock, among them a fine
lace collar, presented by Chas. Richheimer
u Co., through Miss Kate Feehan; and ele-
gantly bound copy of the PoeticaI Works of
Prha n tod -
and five dollar bill, presented by Mrs.
Henry Ratterman. The ladies connected
with this table are Ofthe true type-in the
true acceptatiOn of the word, they are fas-
cinating, and "Father" Jones has good
reason to feel proud of them.
The POstoffice, connected with this table.
is this year more flouriShing than ever be-
fore, which may be attributed, no doubt, to
the fact that Miss Mary Burke is the Post
mistress, and that she has efficient clerks
Miss Mollie Gilbride, Miss Julia Dale, Miss
Mary Ann Donovan, etc. Jerry Buckley,
as carrier, cannot be equaled-he is irwin
chile.
The Mineral Water establishment of Nc
Cormack & Brennan was well patrOnized
last night. These gentlemen by their kind
ness aud courtesy have rendered themselves
agreeable ane pleasant. May their smiles
ever linger and their shadows never grow
less.
We are glad to know the halls were
crowded with persons last night, eager to
exercise the elective franchise to secure the
magnificent banner to be awarded to the
society receiving the largest number of votes.
Mrs. Barry, aided by several young ladies,
has not been idle in arousing a spirit of en-
ulation between members of different socie-
ties. The Sons of Temperance are still in
the lead, aud if as much energy and interest
be exerted as have already characterized
their efforts, the banner will bear the name
of their order.
Finding it impossible to close the business
last night, it was determined TO continue
the fair on Monday and Tuesday evenings,
when it viii positively close. The annual
ball will be given on Thursday night, at the
Schoolhouse on Vine street, winding up
what may be correctly termed this annual
festival.
