no doubt the only female piano tuner in
the State. Her teacher was Mr.. D. M.

very large and highly appreciative
last Monday night to witness "a Social
Session." which was rendered by a most
excellent Company under the management
of Mr.. D. j. Sprague, Of New York. In
the afternoon and evening the city was
treated to All open air Concert by the Black
Hussar Band, which travels with the
Company. From the appearance of the
Band and the music rendered, our citizens
knew that treat was in store for those
who attended the evenings performance,
and in this they were not disappointed,
The programme opened with splendid
overture by the orchestra, which was
literally applauded. The curtain then
rose, and for the next two hours the audi
ence was kept in one continuous roar of
laughter. The play is not only interest.
ing, but is ludicrous combination Of
pleasant nonsense, interspersed with good
singing and music. The cast of characters
throughout is good one. The Company
is first-cass one and we can assure Mr..
Sprague if he will visit US again he will be
greeted by another large audience.

(Thursday) at Cross Roads Church. at II
o'clock, a. M Mr.. Long was son of the
late VIM. Long, and was born and reared
and has always resided in Anderson Coun-
ty. he has long been faithful member
of Varennes Presbyterian Church, and was
strictly an upright, honest man, who
made friend of every acquaintance.
AS citizen, neighbor, husband and
father, he discharged his duties we'll.
He served through the late war as mem-
ber of Orr's Regiment, and was gallant
soldier. All of his old comrades will hear
of his death with profound sorrow. He
was man of a social, genial disposition,
and we doubt if he had an enemy. He
leaves devoted wife and three daughters,
besides host of relatives, to cherish his
memory, and in their bereavement they
have the sympathy of wide circle of
friends.
