The Rainbow Party which took place at
ex.R Representative W. 0. Gains on Thursday
night, was attended by between so and 10
people and the proceeds Of the evening
amounted to the neat little gun of eigh: dol
lars. The time was pleasantly parsed in
hemming the aprons of the girls and young
ladies, games, promenadiHg and music. A
number of young men entered the lists as
knights Of the needle (ifI may be permitted
to coin a new expression) and bemmed the
aprons, which, by the way, is a delightful
occupation. The judges of the sewisg were:
Mrs. Miles Plowden, Mrs. Soule Aellett and
Miss Galley Wells, and the prizes pretty
bouquet-was awarded to Mr.. Willie Tisdale.
That night the girls looked sweeter than the
''sweet violets," which are now blooming in
the s'mossJ dells" and woodlands. Among
the young men present were the following
who came down from Sumter: Aessrs. Bay
