Says Missouri exchange: sit looks
as if Mark Hanna was in politics to
stay. A great number of letters are
now travelling through the mails, the
obvious purpose of which is to make
people feel good, and to induce them
to do good work for Mark Hauna's par
ty in the future. These letters are ad-
dressed to the newspapers which were
enrolled on the Republican side of the
contest during the recent canvass. As
an evidence of good faith, they are
signed, not merely by Mark Hanna
himself. but by several others, all men
of note in the party. 1t is such let
ter as is calculated to make the aver
age country editor feel good, and it is
especially timely, Low that Thanks
giving Day is so near. Now that the
cam paign for honest money, good gov
eminent and our country's prosperity
is over MIR. Hanna and his seven as
sociates say, we write to thank you
for the good work you have performed
After throwing few bouquets of the
kind which the postal authorities al
low to go through the mails for cents,
the distinguished letter writer assures
the editor to whom the epistle is ad-
dressed that 'the name OF your news
paper has been recorded upon the re-
cords of this committee as entitled to
high praise The autographs of the
committee, very nicely reproduced by
the etching process, are affixed"
The grand soiree and festival at
Graniteville last Monday evening at
tracted large crowd, and, as usual
with all the entertainments given I'M
der the auspices of the Catholic ladies.
was a grand and complete success.
Dancing was inaugurated early in the
evening and was kept up without ces-
sation until about six in the morning.
All present enjoyed the occasion i'm
mensely. Mrs. L. T. Walsh who had
charge proved herself to be a most
successful manager. Although the la
dies had shorter time than is usually
given for such an occasion yet they
went to work with will and the result
showed how well they worked under
the general management of Mrs.
Walsh. Too much credit cannot be
given to the ladies-God bless them
for their efficient work, and as all did
their very best it is unnecessary to
single them out. Mr.. NJ. F. Shea had
charge of the gentlemen's department
and with his assistance made every
thing very pleasant in the hall. The
music was excellent, and Mr.. Reno's
silvery voice calling out the figures of
the dance brought elasticity into many
soles. The supper, as all expected,
was superb, par excellence. tits true,
the tables groaned laden with the
many delicacies. but they were the on
~ SFOdn0Ts. Ano participants vi INC
supper were happy. The proceeds
of the evening, above expenses, amount
to 1886. 90, and will be used for the ben
eft of the new Catholic school at
Graniteville. A large concourse of
people from Ironton, Pilot Knob and
Middlebrook attended. Among the
gay throug, were noticed Miss Reed.
Mrs. E. NJ. Smith, Miss Lannie Golden,
Master Russell Smith, Miss Viola Stone,
Miss Nora Lindsay, Judge Zwart and
wife, and many others whose names
our correspondent does not recall.
