Lantern, March 20: This morning at
the breakfast table in one Of our hotels,
Col. J. w. Reed and Mr.. r. r. Moffat,
were in conversation, when foreigner,
resident Of Ohio, volunteered some i'm
pertinent remarks about our election
laws. Col. Reed advised him, In an
impressive manner, to go back to Ohio
or somewhere else, If our laws did not
suit him, as we could get along without
the like Of him. He took the advice
and finished his meal in silence.
The water is now coming through the
filter and we can wash our hands now
without feeling that we may be taxing
the standpipe too severely. The Pal
metto club gave a most delightful re-
ception to Mrs. ]. M. Coleman on last
Tuesday evening at the residence Of
Mrs. A. w. Kluttz. Many regrets at
losing so valuable a member were ex-
pressed. The evening was an enjoya-
BILE one and prolonged until near the
| "wee sma'" hours. The supper room
was artistically drapped and trimmed
with the club colors. The plants and
blossoms banked and scattered in
charming profusion amid the glistening
lights of many tapers and the we'll ap-
pointed table formed altogether a pic
turesque scene. A bountiful collation.
was served and surprises were in store.
At an opportune moment Mrs. Cole
man was presented with q beautiful
souvenir spoon emblematic of the club
She responded in a graceful little
speech Of acknowledgment, at the con-
clusion Of which Misses Lottie Kluttz
and Vivian Hand were ushered IN
dressed in character costumes and dis
tributed snappy bon bons most daintily
amid a din Of applause accorded to their
unique appearance. Bright speeches,
bright scenes and then good byes, good
wishes and bon voyage for the depart
ing member. And so ended the even
ing Of pleasure long to be remembered.
