l must now tell you about the bazaar
and oyster supper on last Friday night.
1t was about 6 o'clock when the large
store of Mr.. H. G. Copeland, which had
been previously decorated with holly,
moss, bamboo, flowers, and japanese lam
terms, was thrown open to the pleasure
seekers and we'll wishers of our beloved
Pastor Mckissick, for which the proceeds
are to be appropriated to help furnish the
parsonage. First, We must congratulate
the good ladies who served on the COM
mittee for the tasty arrangement of the
tables, so pleasing to the eye Second, we
con gratulate all those who took part in
the cooking and rendered their boiled
ham, fried chickens, sweet breads, and
many other eatables too numerous to men +,
ton here, but which all found a welcome |
to the tables where even the dyspeptic
could appease his traitor"us appetite
Out of the large assemblage there were
many sweet and pretty young ladies, and
one feature of the program was to auction
off a handsome sofa pillow at SC chance
for the prettiest and most popular young
lady present. MIR. S. W. Copeland acted
as auctioneer and kept tally while he was
calling for bids. Capt. J. NJ. Dannelly
started it with twenty votes for his wife;
this was soon met by young man meet
ing his bid and going one dollar better in
favor of Miss Matte Moore Several
other bids were paid in; at this point
Captain Dannelly withdrew his twenty
votes for his wife and put them in favor
of Miss Addie Jenny. Idon't know why
Captain did this, but expect he thought
Mrs. Dannelly might be too old to be call
ed a popular young lady. Well, we won't
discuss that here, but will 60 on, for the
sofa pillow went on by some one raising
Miss Jenny's vote one dollar more. Right
here the fun began There was raising
done on both sides from 25c to IS at a
clip. In this case "wcman was eXertlng
more influence over mans mind than
money" The sofa pillow now had begun
to raise like the stock on Wall street in
'91, and kept steady rise until the lofty
height of $T0.GJ was reached. The votes
stood: 694 for Miss Moore and 719 in
favor of Miss Jenny, making total of
l Alb. Three minutes were given formore
votes to come in, but time was counted
out before it was presented and the con-
test was declared closed. Next came
cake walk. The order to fall in line was
given, and about twenty couples lined up
at 1Oc pair, and the march was started
to the strains of Georgia Camp Meeting"
which was rendered by BArhardt string
band. After marching around the hall
twice, Mr. Angus Kearse with Miss Sa-
lomeWilson were announced winners and
the cake presented. l could 60 on and
tell YOU much more about this grand af-
fair, but time and space won't permit, so
will bring to a close by saying that the
gross receipts were about $40. Ehrhardt
string band, which consists Of 1st, end,
and bass violins, guitar and banjo,
furnished music for the occasion.
