The festival and bazaar given under the
auspices of the ladies' Of the Methodist
Church in the Masonic Hall last Friday
afternoon and evening was q success in
every respect. From the time the hall was
thrown open in the morning until late ut
night, it was crowded with liberal patrons.
The viands prepared were delicious and
abundant, and in profusion Of variety.
The bazaar tables, too, were quite attractive. |
The young ladies in charge of the various
departments were very attentive 10 the Gus
toners, and it was really worth double he
price Of what you bought to be served or
waited on by such charming laSses. We do |
not remember to have ever seen an assem- |
1lage Of our people enjoy themselves more
han they did on this occasion. The ne: |
proceeds Of the entertainment amounted to |
about $4,000, which is n larger amount |
han ever before realized at any similar en- |
ertainment in Anderson. Too much |
praise cannot be bestowed upon the ladies |
or their admirable management of the en- |
ertaiment, and oil the success is due to |
heir efforts.

Watson was about sixty years of age. She

The suggestions in the communication OF
C. G. F." in another column, relative TO
Reading Room or Literary Society for An
lerson, meets with our approval. There
an be no doubt that the es.s blishment OF
uch an organization in our city is very |
much needed. Nothing else wocld Tend to |
,e more edifying to our people. and es.
,ecially to our young men. 1twould afford |
hem pleasant resort, besides giving them |
rood reading matter with which to pass
heir evenings, and thus perhaps keep them
away from places where they should not go.
The suggestions of our correspondent are
worthy the attention of parents, who
should feel an interest in anything that
will result in improving the morals and
minds of their sons. Reference has been
made in these columns before to the need
,f such an organizatioc in our midst, but
no one has ever takel. enough interest i'll II
% put it into operation. The subject is
again brought to the attention Of our peo-
pie, and we trust that any efforts that may
DC made will receive the encouragement
md hearty cooperation of all our citizens.
We suggest that q meeting of our young
men be called at an early day and the
proper steps be taken to put the matter in
shape at once.
