Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hume, of Syenite,
came over to spend Sunday with rela-
tives in town guests of the families of
Chas. Reno and Peter Brodie.
The grandest event of the opening of
this years entertainments, was the con-
cert and ball given at Workmen's Hall
on last Wednesday evening. in honor
of the 134th anniversary of the birth of
that great Scotch poet, Robby Burns,
under the supervisors of Messrs. Jas.
X. SINNERS and George Murray. By
7:30 o'clock the hall was packed to
overflowing, and standing room was
above par. The opening of the event
was beautiful musical selection by an
orchestra of ten pieces, under the
dictatorship of that all-round musician,
j. X. SINNERS, rendered by the usual
vivacity of which the musical talent of
Graniteville has now become famous.
The programme, which was carefully
arranged for the occasion, was elabo-
rate, and the superb renditions of each
of each and every part received great
applause, and all received repeated
enchores. The programme is as fol-
lows: orchestra Highland WREATH"

that the hall was arranged, and the
dancing was commenced and kept up
It'll the wee sma' hours O. the mornin'.
Every number on the programme was
carried out to the utmost appreciation
of the large audience, and to say that
the event was truly Scottish in every
detail, would be doing so without the
slightest exaggeration. On entering
the hall. about the first thing to catch
the eye, was life size crayon portrait
of the eminent poet sketched by the
artistic hands of Prof. SINNERS, and
on the north side wall, were the sketch
es of Tam O'Shanter riding his auld
grey mare, Meg, encircled with an ar
tistically drawn Scotch thistle. Under
meath was written: GAP spring brought
of her master hale, and left behind her
ain gray tall A little farther down,
was that quaint auld saying, s.Man's a
man for a that" On the west end was
inscribed another poem, that read:
..Kirk Alloway seem'd in bleeze,
through ilka bore the beams were
glancing, and loud resounded mirth
and dancing" And on the south wall
was sketched Tam and Souter Johnny
sitting at the table drinking, seeming
ly, about three sheets in the wind, and
under which we noticed the following:
Tam lo'ed him like vera brither,
They had been fou' for weeks thegith-
err There were other sketches and
cuts, but fearing we are taxing too
much of your time, we will, therefore,
fore4o any further remarks, except to
say, that the net proceeds realized from
the affair were Sal, which will likely
be used in making some, we will say,
unnecessary repairs to the hall.
