Saturday evening he local Grange anC
a few friends we're agreeably entertained
by members OF BroOkfield Grange, WHO
carried out an excellent program, the
most pleasing feature OF which, judging
from the enthusiastic applause, was music
by he Brookfield Grange orchestra.
The leader of that numerous body
mounted in full view OF the musicians, sc
skillfully welded his baton that all Kept
perfect time. Besides tambouriDes, 8
Jews harb, piano, bells, etc, whose music
could be easily distinguished, there were
instruments which looked to the uninitiat
ed like an old fashioned stone churn, saw
horse and saw, washtub and clothes
wringer, chopping knife and tray, apple
parer, etc, while bass viol strung with
white Irvine and a violin of similar manu-
tacture were played with such facial ex-
preston as made the audience eager IL
hear tAem in solos.
A clever parody OF "Hiawatha" by Mrs
Bacon gave an expression OF goodwill
from the visiting Grange and won for its
author many compliments. The farce
"a Marriage Advertisement, was also
particularly pleasing, ass was the chorus
whose participants seemed "gwine home
to glory" for all OF any lack of enthusiasm.
More music and excellent papers, reel
tations and readings completed the
Brook teld program, which was followed
by he Harvest march in costume by mem
bers OF Randolph Grange.
An excellent oyster supper was then
served to 224 persons, about 20 OF whom

A Madonna Party.

!
The Madonna exhibition and entertain
ment at the White church vestries Thurs
day evening was well worth all the labor,
study and preparation put into il. The
/ results showed that much skill and taste
and thought as well as hard work bad been
| laid out, and those who promoted IT de-
serve much from the public for the pleas
ure ana instruction OF the evening.
The large vestry looked for all the
world like an artists studio. Ii was ar.
ranged with easels, easy-chairs, floor
mats, stands, curtains, and everywhere
Madonnas. They were placed in groups
upon the walls, fitted into the window
seats, mounted on easels, fastened upon
the windows arranged in pairs and singles
upon the mantels and tables. There were
| between forty and fifty different pictures,
representing all the most distinguished
Madonnas and varying in size from that
% a cabinet photograph TO an etching
nearly the size OF the original painting.
The literary exercises consisted OF an ad.
dress by Dr. Hardy upon art in general
and Christian art in particular, showing
how the Madonna came to bloom forth
in such profusion and beauty in the six
tenth century.
Miss Gleason followed this with finely
prepared essay upon the development OF
the Madonna in art history, naming the
principal Madonnas that claim first places
Ia rank and value.
This was followed by special descrip.
lions of some of the most distinguished
Madonuas, their origin, their authors and
poems suited to the occasion. Beside Miss
Gleason, Mrs. Tewksbury, Miss BIxby,
Miss Anna Nichols, Miss Ethel Newton,
Miss Jessie Church and Miss Ida Flint
took part in this.
The musical part of the entertainment
presented similar line OF thought, and
consisted of selections by the choir, solos
and quartettes. Among these were solo
by Miss BiN6y, "The Golden Steps;n
mixed dum tette. "Bet hlehem,h by DIR.
Phillips Brooks, and cave Maria" by
ladies' quartette.
Thanks were cordially extended TO those
who loaned their pictures for this occa-
sion.

PROFITABLE CROP.
Celery, If Raised Properly, is a Better
Money Crop Than Cotton.


Money Crop Than Cotton.
There is no doubt of the fact that to
raise celery successfully is very diff
cult matter, and for this reason very
few people undertake it. Several years
ago Mr.. C. II. Smith, who lives near
Yorkville, concluded to experiment
with this vegetable, which is held in
such high esteem by connoisseurs, and
which commands such fabulous prices
on the market, and has each succeed
inc wear increased the size of his patch,
as well as improved the quality of his
product, until now he is raising an ar
ticle that is said to be equal in quality
and flavor to the famous Kalamazoo
product. The following paragraph taken
from the local columns Of the 1orkvllle
Enquirer, should interest some of the
more progressive farmers of South
Carolina, who are of the opinion that
the sole dependence of the Southern
agriculturists for money crop" Is
cotton:
'Mr. C. H. Smith, who lives five
miles south of Yorkyille, and who for
several years past has been experiment
Ing with celery raising, this year prom
ises to outdo all previous records. At
first he attempted only small patch
and met with fairly good success-just
success enough to encourage HIM to try
again, which he did on somewhat
larger, though still rather small scale.
Then he tried it again and again, each
time planting little more and getting
more experience. This year he has
about an acre, which, in celery, is o
fairly good sized patch. The land has
been prepared with great deal of care
and expense. Previous experience had
taugh that when the plant needs water,
for instance, water it must have, and
with dam and system of bitches the
entire patch can be irrigated at will. AS
the result, the present crop Is giving
forth splendid promise. On the greater
part of the acre the stand is perfect, and
on the balance it is fairly good. Taken
as a whole, the acre is calculated to fill
the heart OF any experienced celery
raiser with Joy. Heretofore Mr.. Smith
has only tried to dispose OF his crop in
the surrounding local markets-Gork-
vile, Rock Hill and Chester where he
has generally found ready sale for all
the celery be has been able to raise.
But this year, probably, he will be at
tempted, after fully supplying the local
demand, to make shipments to the COM
mission men IN some of the larger cities.
An acre of land is reckoned as a small
thing generally; but at low estimate
Mr.. Smith has on his acre the value OF
not less than ten bales Of cotton.

ANTIQUITY OF the Rose.

flower had already long been known

from 1000 to $500 years z c., and in
the tomb of an Egyptian princess, dis
