About People.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLACKsBURG, January 4.-The holi
days were spent very pleasantly BY the
majority of our citizens. There were
the usual home. .comings and home
goings, those annual reunions of fam
lilies which are one of the blessings
and pleasures given to men by the
coming of the Christ child into the
world. There were Christmas trees
at the Baptist and Methodist churches
and several at private houses, and
am pleased to say not so much of the
noisy demonstration made by fire
works as has heretofore been the case
There was quite family reunion
at the home of Mr.. Ira Hardin. All
the boys were there except Tracy
Webb, Frank, Gus, Sage and Marvin
the three first with their families
so that Mrs. Hardin's table, which
was loaded with everything to tempt
the palate of man and child, was fill
ed several times, and on Christmas
eve there was beautiful holly bush
in the parlor, tastefully and lavishly
decorated with ornaments and gifts
for all.
Mr.. Tabor Tripp, who is attending
medical lectures in Philadelphia, spent
last week with his friends here.
Mr.. E. A. Trescott was away for the
week, at Old Pendleton, where he had
a delightful holiday with his people.
Mr.. Givins Gallagher came home for
the week from Union, where he has
been for sometime.
Master John Bruce, our efficient and
accommodating assistant postmaster,

invited and honored guests. Of course,
as this was a privilege accorded only
once year to the male portion of the

the manor that could possibly be
present, was there in his best attire
and on his best behavior, so that for
once he was allowed to know what
passed within the mystic circle OF
which his better half was member.
The literary feature of the club is the

whose life, and quotations from whose
works, are read at the next meeting
The meetings are held every two
weeks at the residence of member
and the exercises consist of the bio.
graphical sketch, the quotations, reci
tations, music-vocal and instrument
al-conversation, in which gossip is
positively forbidden, and, finally, light
refreshments.
On the evening in question, Tenny'
son was the author. A brief, but in
teresting, sketch Of his life was read
by Mrs. Guyton, quotations by all
and the "Death of the Old Year" by
Mrs. Anderson. Then an elegant and
bountiful repast was served, after
which there was music and singing, an
election of officers, which resulted in
keeping in the present very efficient
ones: Mrs. Otis Osborne, president
and Mrs. J. M. Guyton, secretary, and
finally "Auld Lang Syne," by the whole
company, and happy greetings of 6
New Year.
The same evening, Mrs. John F
Jones gave an elegant entertainment
at Cherokee Inn, to the young people
of the town, wrich consisted of the
very amusing parlor farce, "a Box O.
Monkeys" the. characters being rep.
resented by some of the ladies and
gentlemen at the Inn as follows:
Edward Ralston-A promising young
American, half owner of the Sierra golc
mine-Geo. Giryan.
Chauncy Oglethorpe-His partner, sec
ond son of Lord Doncaster-P. 8. Gil
christ.
Mrs. Ondego Jones-An admirer O.
rank-Mrs. NJ. NJ. Freeman.
Sierra Bengaline-Her niece, prairie
rose-Miss Anabell johnson.
Lady Guinevere Llandpoore-An Eng
lish primrose, daughter of the Earl O.
Paynaught-Mrs. P. S. Gilchrist.
The spacious parlor was we'll ar
ranged for the play by the taste anG
skill of Major Jones. 1t was brilliant
ly lighted, the scenery was very be
coming, and the acting was exquisitely
done. In her many efforts to enter
tain and please the young people, fol
which Mrs. Jones is so well-knowr
and appreciated, she never succeeded
better, and the play was such a de
cided success, it was determined, upor
urgent requests, to have it repeated
on last night (Monday) for the benefi
of the Episcopal church. 1t was done
and our citizens, as usual on such oc
casions, responded very literally, con
tributing a very handsome sum fol
the church.

progressive card party to number o

GRANT AND LoNGsTREET.-General
Grant had as much to do with Long
streets becoming Republican as any
one else. They had been schoolmates
at West Point, had been graduated the
same year, and received their commits
sion at the same time. They fought
among the cactus bushes of Mexico,
and had drunk mescal from the same
Jug a thousand times. 1t was at JEFF
ferson Barracks, near St. Louis, that
Longstreet introduced his cousin, Miss
Julia Dent, to Grant, and it was Long
street himself who told the young lady
of the worth of his friend. They
were married, and the Georgian was
at the wedding. When they next
saw each other it was at Appomattox.
After the formalitses of the surrender
were over General Grant took General
Longstreet to one side and said
"Julia wants to see you. Go home
and see your family and them come to
see me, won't you ?"
Longstreet promised, and lo Kept
his word. When General Grant be-
came president he asked for his advice,
and begged that his former adversary
now be one of his advisers. General
Grant never had truer fried during
his administration. They knew each
other. When the tragedy took place
at Mount McGregor, Longstreet suf-
fered as if it were the loss of BROTH
er. He has often visited the tomb on
the Hudson, and has laid the gentlest
tribute of friend upon the marble.

He was fair, handsome and foreign
looking, and the girl had time to notice
him closely, as they were both walking
toward the house, and he was some 40
or 80 yards ahead Of her.
As she entered the house by side
door the servant met her and said that
there was a visitor waiting to see her

take or that the visitor was on some

when the man rose and bowed with the
air Of man of the world at his ease.

down, out of consideration for him and
disliking him more and more every
minute.
