The g.rbscles Last Week.

Mr.. Daniel Drafts barbecue on
Saturday of last week, was by far
the largest one held this sea-

Offices were much in evidence. DR..
Stokes and Mr.. Brantlcy, candidates
for Congress were present and ad
dressed the people on national issues.
That OF Frye & Taylor, near Lew
iedale, while not having so much
politics mixed up with it, was none
the less a pleasant one. The neigh
borhood turned out to have a good
dinner and spend pleasant day in
social intercourse.
The barbecues given last Saturday
were we'll attended by the people OF
the vicinity in which they were held.
Both DR.. Stokes and Mr.. Brantley,
candidates for Congress, spoke at

candidates of Lexington and Saluda
counties were also present.
The one at Riston given by d. F.

were not disappointed. The young
folk tipped the light fantastic toe
till the shades of night came stealing
On.

events of the year. There is not one de-
partment of human activity which is not
touched on. The farmer and the merchan
the clerk and the professional man may
each find in it something to interest and TO

concerning the Government of the United
States and of foreign stations, is a valuable
resume the war with Spain, abounds with
statistics from commercial and industrial
pursuits, tells the story of the part played
by the Keystone boys in the late war-and
is, insfact,a complete cyolopaedia of the
worlds activities during 1898, and must
be indispensable TO every thinking Ameri-
can citizen. The Almanac may be had
from newsdealers or by sending 25 cents
to THE Press" Philadelphia.

A PRACTICAL CHRISTMAS JOKE.

He Went to Church Too Late.
Go where you will in this wide world,
In county town or State,
Don't have the saying at you hurled:
"You go to Church too late"
We know man who came to town
To join two other brothers,
Who thought as long as he was down,
That he would visit others.
On Sunday evening he walked out,
For friends to make search,
With full intention, he no doubt,
Would be In time for church.
They talked, and swift the moments flew,
As time thus always passes,
The thing he should, he failed to do,
That was put on his glasses.
His watch he drew, it open few,
Its face and hands, he scaned,
And then proceeded, forthwith to do, \
AS he before had p,aned.
He started then with steady stride,
He walked with all his power,
Without the slightest aim to hide
That he was late one hour.
He marched himself up the middle aisle,
In front pew he was seated,
With a sort of gusto, pomp, and style,
That scarce could be repeated.
His cain he held in his right hand,
His Derby in the other,
And proper though just then to stand,
Will, oY1u4<,v,a dfd ne h0thar
But quietly sitting there alone
While they sang nice selection,
Supposing when that part was done,
Next thing would be collection.
But, alas alas to his chagrin,
The ceasing of the singing
Brought on the time when he begin,
To feel silly stinging.
For the people then in silence stood
For the solemn invocation,
While the pastor nicely as he could
Dismissed that congregation.
Itcoants among the best of jokes,
With no alloy of fiction,
And witnessed by SO many folks
Admits no contradiction,
A thing that ever could occur
Or better cause for laughter,
To tell you now will defer,
IfI. ever do hereafter.
