An En1oyabIe Occnsion.

The most enjoyable occasion our usu.
ally quiet little town of Anderson has
experienced for some time, was an ell
tertanment given by the young men
and ladies of the a. &. |. Literary So

The enthusiastic pupils were greeted
by large audience rs they marched on
the stage TO sing the College song. Mr..
l.. III. kincaid. the orator of the even
ing, was then introduced and delivered
an Grafton, which would have done
credit to College or Uniyersitv.-
This was followed by a debate on She
question Resolved, That the New
Woman fairly Represents the Aspira-
tions of Her Sex The participants
were Messrs. A. McVeigh Miller, jr.
III. l.. Mates and Misses Ora Smith
and Irene Miller. The discussion was
interesting and instructive. Miss Ale.
thea Anderson recited, with good effect
The Little Match Girl The pro.
gram was interspersed with music by
the pupils, who showed the careful
training of their competent teacher
Miss Allison. The last and most en-.
joyable feature of the exercises was the
rendering of the " Tale of the Vienna
Woods, Paraphrase de Concert by the
music teacher, Miss Allison. 1t has
been some time since the Anderson low.

tanned as they were In this rendition.
The program being completed ice
