Last Sunday about noon a bugg,
! containing an old lady and a little cir
was RIM into by one of the attaches o
Martins livery stable on horseback
: The buggy was overturned and the oc
cupants thrown to the ground with the
vehicle atop of them. Fortunately
the horse was gentle and remained
perfectly quiet until they were releas
ed from their unpleasant not to say
perilous position. There is no occa-
sion for such accidents, and they may
be easily avoided if the ordinance
Eagainst fast riding and driving is OBJ
served.
The Z. P. Masque Ball at the Acad-
envy of Music last Friday night was
as fine and pleasant an entertainment
as ever was given in that building.
1t was very largely attended, and its
conduct reflected the utmost credit
upon its management. Two prizes
were awarded for elegance of costume:
one to Mrs. Lottie Talbot of ST. Louis,
and the other TO Mr.. j. Lopez of Iron
| ton, and the award of the committee
was unanimously endorsed. After an
elegant supper at midnight, dancing
was resumed and continued until day
light. when the departing guests sped
their way to home and rest.
The following comprised the panel of
forty jurors summoned in the Hill case:
D. S. Brooks, Ed. Westerman, Rob't Love,
]. S. Luthy, Giles Mcmahon, Houston La
than, Milton Goggin, Samuel Croker, Nell
son Strickland, and James Alcorn, West End;

The parents and friends of the schol-
ars of the NJ. E. Sunday School at
Graniteville were favored with treat |
on Christmas night, in the way of an
entertainment given by the Sunday |
School. The programme was excel |
lent; consisting of songs, recitations |
and dialogues. The children did their |
part in way that reflected great cred
it on themselves as well as those who |
trained them. Not hitch occurred
throughout the programme. Some of |
the young ladies of the school recited
in way that made those present re-
joice that they had awaited themselves
of the opportunity of listening to them.
And TO say the singing was grand,
would be putting it very mild. Mr.. Z.
j. Warrington had spared neither time
nor labor to make it success, and he
had the hearty cooperation of some
able talent, both ladies and gentlemen.
Miss Bertha Sbifferly handled the or
gan in a way that showed her ability
to fill the position she occupies as or
ganist of the Sunday school. After
the literary part of the programme
was ended, that which perhaps inter-
ested the children most of all took
place. One of the windows was
thrown open, and 10! Santa Claus
climbed in, loaded with presents for
the scholars, which he handed to them
as their names were called. Ninety
one came forward, and received each
a present, which shows the school to
be in healthy condition. Last of all. j
Mr.. Santa Claus called for the preach
er, who came forward and was present
which he, Santa Claus) had received {
rom the Ladies' Aid" TWAS thank !
July received by the pastor. The .
church was filled with an attentive au- |
1ience, and all went away delighted.
