| The a;iaua. oyster supper of the
Camp OF Wo0dmen of the World I'M
this city last Thursday night was ore
of the most genuinely enjoyable events
OF the closing year Of the century for
tie soyerelgns and their guests. The
banquet was served in the Lodge room
OF the Masonic Temple. and was pre-
pared in the ante-room by expert
cooks, in most appetizing way, under
the management Of committee, of
whom Policeman W. B. King did the
bossing to perfection. The menu was
simple and consisted Of oysters, in any
style you might desire them, coffee,
fruits, &c. Two long tables reached
from one end of the hall to the. other,
and If every person sitting around them
did not get his appetite served to it's
full capacity it was his own fault, FOR
the committee, with their many aaaist-
ants, we're ever ready and anxious to
bring you moro of the good things.
AS each one finished devouring and
discussing the royal feast, cigars were
passed around, and in short time the
assembly was called 10 order py ). W :.
Quattlebaum, Esq, who, in few in
teresting and appropriate remarks, ex-
planned the objects and work of the
Woodmen. At the conclusion of his
remarks Mr.. Quattlebaum called on

happy style. The following gentlemen
wero then called out in the order
nanel: Rev. j. b. Campbell, Rev. j.

Russell, G. c. Langston, B. F. Martin,
w. H. Frierson, DR.. j. P. Duckett, j.
L. Tribble, G.. G. Sullivan and Prof. T.

more there was an interesting flow of
wit and eloquence. The sovereigns
with their visiting brethren and guests
departed for their homes feeling that
most delightful evening had been
spent. This Camp is one of the most
popular organizations in the city and
one of the largest in the State, and at
every meeting is adding new names to
it's roll of membership.

in especially close touch with the ag-
ricultural masses of the South, and in

won unique distinction which ranks
it among the greatest of American

stituticn. His county paper gives him
the local home news, which is not sup
piled by newspaper furnishing the
general news from all parts of the
country and from all over the world
Before man seeks information from
outside, he should first feel sure that
he is being kept posted on what is
going on at home. When, however,
the opportunity is offered to get the
best weekly newspaper in this country
with your home paper. the inducemen n,
is such as to elicit prompt response
from our readers.
