Rock HILL, May 15.-According to
Lord Tennyson, this is the season
when crimson comes upon the robins
breast, the wanton lap-wing gets him
self another crest, a livelier iris changes
on the FURNISHED dove, young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love. If he had lived few years
later and could, as young man, have
wandered by the graceful Catawba on
the night of our last full moon, his
poetic soul, enraptured with the scene,
would have added another couplet to
this stanza, and the top round of the
climax would be maiden, meander,
moonlight. Ispeak from observation
alone, and if there be any one who is
inclined to question the influence of
the moons mystic rays, refer him to
Misses Jones, Seay, Roddey, Russell,
Nelson, Roach, Mobley, Sherfesee,
and Messrs. Oates, Harrison, Edmunds,
Seay, CASTOR, Withcrspoon, Sullivan.

Last Saturday was "feld day" for
many of our young people Oh picnics
bent. A number of the young lady
pupils of the graded school, accompa-
MED by their young gentlemen friends,
spent the day delightfully."- at Garrison's
mill though some may have thought
they paid rather dearly for their pleas
ure when they had to come most Of
the way home through a drenching
rain. The pupils Of Mrs. Barron's
school enjoyed day in the woods,
taking dinner near Sturgis's branch,
and getting home in time to avoid
getting wet.
Mr.. John Roach has gone to Dallas,
Tex, to visit his son Will. He expects
to be gone several weeks, and will pro-
badly go to Houston, at the time of
the big Confederate reunion in that
city.
4 party of gentlemen left Rock Hill

will remain several days and consists
of the following Mayor Hutchison,
Policeman Dolby, S. T.Frew, R. L. Stur-
gis,S. J. Kimball, T. B. Lumkin, S. T.

rest of the crowd require the presence
of the first two named above, in their
official capacity, to keep them straight.
The memorial exercises at Ebenezer
last Friday afternoon were largely at
tended. The programme previously
announced was carried out, the adj
dresses of Colonel McAIaster and
Prof. Smith being well received. The
church was beautifully decorated, and
the floral tributes placed on the graves
of the soldiers were prettier and
more abundant than usual. The
music by the Gold Hill band and the
vocal selections by the choir added
greatly to the success of the occasion.
The lecture by Miss Yates, in Rod
dey's Hall, last Friday night, was
highly appreciated and thoroughly
enjoyed by the large audience that
greeted this deservedly famous and
popular lecturer on woman suffrage.
think it can be truly said that she
surpassed the high expectations of her
hearers, and 1 feel sure she has made
some converts to her way Of thinking
among the best citizens of our town.
On Monday evening, Mr.. and Mrs.
Green Steele celebrated their crystal
wedding, and quite number of invit-
ed guests participated in the enjoy
ment of the occasion.

same evening, gave all sat Home" to
her many young lady and gentlemen
friends in the city, in honor of her

Valley, n. c. The evening was de-
lightfully spent, and those who at
tended are unanimous in pronouncing
it the social event Of the season.
Rev. Toji Takada, who was in York
vile few weeks since, is expected to
be here next Sunday, and will fill the

There will be a union excursion of
