present, representing Ironton, PHO
Knob, Iron Mountain, Middlebrook ant
Bismarck, and pronounced it one o.
the most enjoyable of many recherche
entertainments, for which Graniteville
is deservingly famous. The guests be-
gan arriving as early as seven o'clock
and, by S:45, the immense throng were
on hand ready to take part in the grand
march, which, according to the pro-
gramme, started precisely at 9, but, as
there were about fifty couple in line,
nothing like the regular order of march
could be carried out. The Grand
March, ''Medley-Empty is the Cra-
de-" delivered by the Graniteville Or
chestra, was led by Mr.. Alex. Leith,
Mexican general, and Mrs. Hanson,
Gypsy fortune-teller. Among the guests
present were Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Cloud,
Mrs. Geo. Donald. Mrs. Peter Brodie,
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. j. Warrington, Mrs.
Hartman, Mrs. Oelson, Mrs. Ferguson,
mother of townsman Chas. Ferguson, a
late arrival from Scotland, and two or
three others whose names we can't just
now recall. The Executive Committee,
Messrs. Geo. Collier, Michael Hanley,
G. b. Reno, VIM. f. Lawrence and Geo.
Whitman, although their labor was of
an arduous character, gave entire sat-
isfactiOn in discharging their duties.
First-class music, good order, and, in
fact, everything was replete and con-
Quoted like clockwork. At II o'clock
sixty couple, all supposing to be strang
ers to each other, and several specta-
tors marched to Hotel Bateman, where
an elegant supper was in waiting, con-
sisting of everything necessary to APP
pease ones appetite, after which the
crowd returned to the hall, where the
dancing was resumed until 5:15 o'clock.
The net proceeds, though small, were
contributed to the widow of Mr.. Frank
Glatzell, and through whom six little
children, ranging from the age of ~
years down, have to be cared for.
