1t was the consensus of all present
last Tuesday night that the enIertaiL-
ment that night was the best of the
season. Every member Oh the pro-
gramme evinced careful study and
preparation, aud there was nothing
but good and entertaining pieces from
all the performers. The AriOn Quar-
tette, composed of d. J. Z. Herndon,
Director, J. T.. Dexter, Jos. JOwler, Jr.,
and Houston Smith made their initial
appearance before a Columbia audi
ence and surpassed the expecta-
ton of their friends in their we'll
rendered selections. Miss SAT-
faIrans' singing of the Cuckoo Song9'
was a great success and places this
sweet singer among our best ones.
Very enthusiastic was the reception
of our sweet sOngsbird, Miss Holding,
after her long silence, and we trust
we may have the pleasure of hearing
her trills many times DER, now that
Nature bids all her sweet sOngsters to
leave off their wintry garb and don
the gladsome spirit OF Spring.
Miss Hamilton's natural rendition
of "Mrs. Pickett's Missionary Box"
was so admirably recited as to call
forth unstinted applause from her
delighted audience.
The singing OF Miss Kate NC
Kinney with her own accompani-
ment, was. very sweet, especially as
she consented to sing without any
preparation whatever.
Miss Lindefman's strumental
solo was artistic and classical and
highly appreciated.
We were very sorry to have missed
the other numbers of the programme,
but are informed that they all were
ON a par with those mentioned. We
hope the Ladies Auxiliary will not
get weary in well doing, but will so
on from strength to strength, giving
us better and better entertainments
if thew can.

Y. NJ C.. A. Notes.

The interest in the Sundays after
noon services in the parlors of the
hi sociatinn is increasing more and
more, and no wonder, for with such
leaders as Messrs. J. p. Street, w. s.
Fleming, Jr., w. E. BOstick, RObt.
Ewing, Jos fowler, Henry Fulton
and o. P. Rutledge, we are sure to
wrest q blessing from the Lord.
Our new President, w. s. Fleming,
Jr., seems very much in earnest and
with his able and competent Board
and Committees will no doubt push
the Association to a grand success.
Seventeen additions to our member
ships at one meeting Is good oidence
that we are on the increase. a.
The Anniversary COmm'''oe re-
ported last Monday night that the

dresses from members of the associa-
ton.

WEDDING BELLS.
GUEST-EDWARDS.


On Wednesday evening last, at the
residence of Mr.. Henry COrcOran, in
South Columbia, Mr.. Joshua Guest
was united in matrimony to Miss
Cora Edwards in the presence of as
many friends as could be admitted
into the compartment where the
ceremony was performed. The at
PENDANTS were Mr.. Alex Davis and
Miss Alice COrcorap, Mr.. Leonard
Bird and>Miss Katie COrcOran. Rev.
A. p. McFerrin pronounced the ser
vice that made the twain one. The
bride was beautifully dressed in
white, and to say she looked lovely
is altogether Inadequate to express
the reality. joshua has won a jewel
of which he may well be proud, and
she has secured a husband who d.
serves the fullest affection of q
wOman's heart, for he possesses in an
eminent degree the sterling honesty,
fidelity to duty and loyalty of heart
which are the highest attributes of
manhood. Mr.. Guest has for a mum
Der of years beeu one of the HER
AIDS Typographical force and the
faithful discharge of his duties has
won the respect of all his employers
and associates. The HERALD has
wished bon voyage to many young
couple, but never more heartily than
she now does to Joshua and his fair
young bride. To Us it is like the
marriage of member of ones own
family, and our highest wish is that
they may always be as happy as
they now are.

1t PAYS, That's Why.

The advertiser in a small way
often stands aghast ut the large sums
of money which certain masters of
the art are known to spend annually
in bringing their goods before the
pub ic. Having had experience only
within his own narrow circle he asks
in a bewiliered way how it is pOssibl,
that they can make ii pay. He takes
pencil aud paper and begins to figure
it out. Surprising their profits on a
single sale to he so much, he deter
mines how many sales they would
have to make to cover their entire
advertising expenditure. About the
time he reaches this result he gives
up in despair and falls back upon the
old but safe conclusion that these
princes of advertising are conducting
their business for the purpose of max
ing money, aud that if they did not
find their advertising paid they would
not continue it.-Erchdnge.

serve the name inspired or not: j.
NJ. Powell, a. J. Craft, /. NJ. Sulli-
van Charles Bowel, Joe Maroney, j.
II. Thomas, aud Billie Mckee, with
w. ID. Cameron as teacher. Now
Mr.. Editor do you not think this class
ought to have two banners instead OF
one, and would it not be right for the
school to offer n chrome for the beet
looking man in the class, provided
they leave out the teacher, for he has
O dlmple in his chin and you know
that goes long way In a mans looks.

tastes of cur readers, and in order to
give the ladies an opportunity to in
form the gentlemen what is expected

ted with any contestant, if possible

Dne, and the effort will be improving
% all who try; and somebody will get

The CasOn-Neeley Case Thrown Out
of Court.


The famous Cason-Neeley ] ttery
suit, which excited so much public
interest, was tried in the Supreme
Court last week, and the case reversed
and dismissed, Judge Turney deliv-
ering the opinion OF the Court, of
which the american gives the follow
ing synopsis:
The bill alleged that young Cason
and Medley, then minors, had been
Joint purchasers OF a ticket in the
Louisiana State Lottery Company,
which had drawn a prize Of $l5 600,
and that those representing Nee!ey,
in whose possession the winning
ticket was, had collected the money
due on it. The bill sought to force a
division of the prize. After trial OF
the issues of fact before a jury, the
Chancellor rendered a decree grant
ing the relief sought. Medley APP
peaIed. Judge Turney said that there
was a great doubt as to whether or
not there was ever a partnership to
purchase the ticket, but the case was
disposed of on another question. Re-
CARELESS of the fact whether the
partnership, which was entered into
in this State, if entered into at all
was to buy tickets in this State or in
Louisiana, where it was lawful, such
an agreement was clearly in violation
of the provisions of the code forbid
ding the sale and purchase of lottery
tickets. Those provisions cover this
case. The contract being illegal, no
relief could be afforded. Decree re-
versed and bill dismissed"
