A Social Success and Delightful Occa-
The charity ball given in the 1arboro
House dining rooms on Thanksgiving
night, for the benefit Of st. Johns Hos
pital, was one Of the most delightful and
charming successes that Raleigh has ever

that man who ever thought that Ral-
eigh girl wouldn't look sweet IN calico
dress don't know-he just can't compre-
hend-well, he just don't know those
girls. They were simply b3wltchlng
Under the magic touch and influence Of
many fairy fingers guided by the delicate
| taste of those young ladies, common
calico was transformed into costumes
that appeared rich. lovely and radiantly
brilliant. The whole secret, however,
could be easily seen by close observer.
It was a case of girls becoming and
beautifying the costumes they wore
There was large number of partici-
pants and onlookers and the evening
wore pleasantly and rapidly away. Al
1.3O an elegant and delicate evening
menu. was served to everybody. Then
the merry dancing was resumed and
kept up till the usual hour--about three
o'clock, a. N.
The net receipts for the Hospital were

and we'll nigh irresistible host OF th'

tention to and perfect management O
the affair.

COL Frank Coke, president Of the
Three C's railroad, upon being asked
what effect the failure of Barker Bros,
of Philadelphia, would have upon the
progress of work on the Three Cs replied
that Barker Bros held some of the bonds
of the road, but very small proportion.
He heard further that it was thought in
Philadelphia that Barker Bros. would
get Oh their feet again.
"You can say also," said the Colonel,
"that l have heard of no difficulties to

GOOD TEMPLARS,
The Meeting of the Grand Lodge of
Good Templars..A A Useful Order.

The Meeting of the Grand Lodge of
Good Templars-. A Useful Order.
The Grand Lodge of Good Templars
held its nineteenth anniversary session
this week with China Chapel Lodge,
near New Hill, in this county, and the
reports of the officers revealed the fact
that during the past year ten new lodges
we're organized in the State, while only
two surrendered their charters.
This order has done and is doing
great good in the State and the influ-
ence it has exerted upon the minds
and hearts of the people will never cease
to be felt for good.
The officers elected for the next year

G. S.-W. II. Bland, Merry Oaks.
Rev. R. 81. Whitaker was elected rep
resentatlve to the Right Worthy Grand
Lodge of the World which meets in Ed
inburg Scotland, in May next. W. r.
| Hart, of Northampton, was chosen al
| ternate.
The Good Templar order now num-
| bers nine hundred thousand members in
the world, and lodges may be found IN
every country of the world, and almost
upon every island Of the seas. 1t is not
a political organization, but working
upon the minds and hearts and consci-
ences of men 1t is doing grand work
as an educator of public sentiment on
the question of temperance.
The CHRONICLE congratulates the or
der upon the wisdom it displayed in
electing DR.. Whitaker its Grand Repre-
sentative. He is in every way worthy.
He has for many years devoted all his
talents and energies to the temperance
cause and has been instrumental in &C
complishing great good. He has been
in no sense an enthusiast, but has fought
for temperance sentiment in an earn
est, persistent manner. He is not to be
diverted from his labor by every passing
breeze and the attempt to make the
Good Templars an annex to political par
ties has found no encouragement from
: him.
The growth in North Carolina is large
lv due to his labOrs.

Epoch

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory, and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tained is greatfully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use Of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease Of the Kid
neys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short
standing, you will surely find relief by
use of Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC. and
