our Christmas Experience.

While we were unable toaccept all OF. the
many kind invitations Of our friends, to
visit them during the Christmas holidays,
our time was most delightfully."- spent with
few of them, and we are again at work
feeling greatly benefited by the recreation.
On Christmas afternoon we went down to
the hospitable village of Honea Path, and
that night had the pleasure of witnessing
the entertainment given by the Dramatic
Club of that place. The programme con.
sisted of the rendition of drama, Little
Brown Jug" and two farces. mike Sni-
den," and IA Time for all Things. The
various characters in the drama and farces
were sustained by Messrs. J. B. Watkins,
]. G. Latimer, L.. P. Brock, ]. T. Wilson,
B. Y. Culbertson, w. P. Culbertson, J. L..
Jones, W.. B. Ezelle, L. Y. Moore and
Misses Sallie Watkins, Rosa Tribble and
ZuIa Brock. Despite the unfayorable
weather, the Club was greeted by large
audience, and we venture there was not
one who did not enjoy the entertainment.
The members of the Club sustained their
parts well, many OF them displaying con-
siderable dramatic talent.
During the afternoon preceding the en-
tertainment referred to above, Christmas
Tree at the Baptist Church attracted large
crowd and many presents were distributed.
We regretted that we could not be present,
but we feel very grateful to the kind friends
who remembered US with useful present,
which was delivered to us after our arrival
In the village.
That night we spent at the Honea Path
Hotel, whers it is always a pleasure to us to
visit. Mr.. J. J.Shirley and his most esti-
mable wife never fail to make it pleasant
for their guests.

calls and greeting friends, and about u m.

eli over the globe and you will not meet
up with more hospitable or clever peo-
PIE than the residents of these two places,
