The Holiday Ball.


successful social events, bit the Holiday
Ball, at Moore's Hall on last Friday even
ing, under the auspices OF the Anderson
Dancing Club, is generally conceded to
have been one Of the most brilliant and
successful ever Egiyenfhere. Handsome
invitations had been sent far and near two
weeks previous, and iof course every one
Interested looked forward to the occasion
with most pleasant anticipati ons. And
we do not think any one was disappointed.
While the weather was extremely cold,
the night. was most beautiful one, the
moon shining in Ill its splendor.
The spacious Hall was tastefully an d
beautifully decorated with holly and ever
green's, and along the walls were suspend
ed numerous larg and beautiful pictures.
BY 9so'clock jhe merry dancers and
spectators began TO- assemble, and in o
short time the Hill presented most brill,
liant and enchalting scene. The Club
had secured Beanen's Band, Of Augusta,
Ga, which, Sby Pc way, is recognized as
one Of the BET in the Empire State, to
furnish the msic for the evening, and ex-
cellent music was, too. The Ball open
ed with grad quadrille, and while. this
was in progr6s, we strolled around the
Hall, and fond that there were quite a
number of vlitors, both ladies and gen.
tlemen, presnt from distance among
the dancers'as well as the spectators.
Among thetentlemen present we noticed
Messrs. j. Cox and W. A. Moorhead,
of Belton, fessrs. 8. s. Crittenden, n. T.
Gossett, TT. Lipscombe, A. II. jenkins,
| jr., W. AIHunt, g. T. Bryan and q.
Haynes, oGreenville, and DR.. F. E. Har-
rison, of 1adley. Every one seemed to
be in his d her happiest mood, and as we
gazed .upojthe scene we were convinced
that we id never before seen a more
handsomaarty of young ladies and gen.
tlemen gaiered together in Anderson.
The ptgramme included all Of the
popular dnces Of the day, and it was
after a. !. before "Home, Sweet Home" !"
was rend! !ed by the Band, when every
one retirt feeling that most pleasant
evening Id been spent.
Much othe success Of the Ball is due
to the efds of the Clubs courteous and
indefatigale President, Mr.. T. S. Cray
ton, jr., assted by the other officers, who
managed he occasion in most admira-
BILE mann.
