A Donation Party.

A very pleasant donation party was held
at the residence of Rev. W. A. Crouch last r
Wednesday night. 1t was a complete sue 1
cess in every particular. Mr.. and Mrs. /
Crouch had gone to prayer meeting, when a v
few of their neighbors slipped in and took I
possession of the premises. The large num- @
her of presents, which had been 8
ing all day at the residence of a neighbor. |
| were then sent over, and the ladies spread 6
them out in q most attractive manner. Mr..
| and Mrs. Crouch had not dreamed of such a t
| thing. and when they returned home from
prayer meeting were surprised to see q light
in the parIor; they also saw two or three per-
| sons going into the house, and noticed that
an unusual number of persons went from
the church tow arb College street. They were
nearly dumb with establishment when tney
stepped into their house to find 1t brilliantly
lighted up, and crowded with friends. A
general Misunderstanding and \ running IRE OF
comment and congratulation took place,when
Mr., VIM. II. Chile, stepped onward and IN q
neat little speech presented the articles in the
name of the ladies of the Baptist church, as
a slight token of their esteem and affection
for their pastor and his family. MI. Crouch
responded In q short speech, full Of emotion,
thanking them for their love aud interest.
The crowd fingered for about an hour, and
dispersed, each one feeling better for having
taken a part in the affair. The ladies OF the
church were nearly all engaged in the work,
Int Mrs, Chapman and Mrs. Teyis were the
, Leading spirits engaged. The following list
