Prom Granfieville.
Graniteville has done herself proud, sure.
Through the exertions Of Messrs. Chas.
Reno and Joe Newall, the Masquerade Ball
which took place on the night of the 18th
was q complete success. Their work was
well done and no one will doubt that they
| understand their business. The music was
by Hines Bros. and might have been better.
Mrs. Mason furnished the supper and it was
ali that could be desired 1s5 people ate at
her table that night beside the crowd of boys
who happened to be present. Filty-seyen
masked couples occupied the dancing floor
until supper, and judging by their antics,
enjoyed themselves to the full There were
several unique costumes present and the
wearers acted their parts we'll. Among the
number who attracted universal attention
was an admirable representation Of a monk
ey. Chas. Hanson acted this part, and so
well did he succeed in concealing his identity
that we believe he was the only one who was
not spotted" before supper. Henry Block
was beautifully left; he had been paving de-
voted attention to a charming young lady:
he thought he was ''s0lid" and took her to
supper. What must have been his feelings
when mis- Young lady unmasked, disclosing
the features of Jack kirwin. Following Is a

The Graniteville Brass Band is practicing |
diligently and improving rapidly. If the |
feelings of the bass drummer or members of |
the band were hurt by our allusions last |
week, We are sorry, as we only wished to |
have little fun and have DO desire to hurt |
any ones feelings.
The Graniteyille Quadrille Band is as good |
an organization of its kind as you Will find |
in Southeast Missouri. Fred. Burgeon, LIST |
violin, has studied for years under the best |
masters in Boston, and reads and executes |
the most difficult music at sight. James |
Summers, ID violin, took his lessons under |
one of the old masters at Aberdeen, Scot |
land, and reads music readily. Phil. Cal |
vert, basso, played this instrument in st. |
Louis. Geo. Waldemon, cornet, received his |
musical education in Leicestshire, England. |
E. c. Waterman, trombone player and bus |
mess manager, has been connected with mu-
steal organizations quite number of years. |
There is no reason WIZ Graniteville and Vi |
cinity should lack for good music al their |
various entertainments.
Emmett Butt is once more a citizen OF |
Graniteville. We are glad of his return but ,
sorry TO see his scrippled form. He had 3
escape from death.
Mrs. Hartman had house warming at /
the new house on Saturday. Plenty of beer,
lots of people, and everybody happy!
Those Blue Ribbon School Shoes for chill
dren, the best in the world, are going like
hot cakes, at Nails Only few pairs left.
