The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1903-01-07
New Years Hop.

On the first evening of the year one
of the fairest scenes ever witnessed 10
Manning was enacted; and not only the
the participants but the spectators felt
that the Young men of Manning we're
due the highest praise for giving such
delightful entertainments as the New
Years dance" The Institute Hal, with
it's splendid floor beautifully polished,
it's high ceiling upheld by massive col
umns and brilliantly lighted was IL
deed a scene of beauty. When we add
to this the young ladies in their bright
and dainty costumes and the gentleman
attired in the regulation black with a
good sprinkling of cadet uniforms, one
cannot wonder that the evening OF Jan
uary lst, 1908 was most heartily enjoy
ed, and will probably be lovely dream
or memory through the coming years
to many Of one guests. The music was
furnished by the Thomas orchestra OF
Columbia, and to either a lover OF
music or OF dancing Tor just lover
who heard the strains. any praise which
we might bestow would be considered
insufficient. Several portions of our
State was represented as will be seen

While some OF the chaperons We're
missed the following who were present
impaired quite an air of distinction:
Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Dickson, Mr. and
Mrs. Walter S. Harvin, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. J. Troubleield and Mr.. and Mrs.
S. NJ. Barfeld.
The dance was under the manage
ment OF Mr.. J. W. Rigby ably assisted
by committees. and the perfect success
of the evening is sufficient testimony to
his efficiency as a manager, and proves
the wisdom OF his election to such an
honored position.
During the evening refreshments
were daintily and prertily served and
formed quite a pleasant diversion in
the pauses of the dance. We are in
formed that the committee on refresh
ments are indebted to Misses Lillian
Harvin and jamie ingram for valuable
assistance.
Until the ''wee, sma' hours" (never
tell, but it was quite few hours into
the morning Of Jan. md did the music
and dance hold sway and the Institute
the scene of many brilliant and enter
tanning functions, was filed with ami
mated dancers and spectators. To say
the evening was perfect success" is
no exaggeration, and those who for any
reason were deprived of the pleasure
Of attending, have most surely missed
from their lives very delightful eve
ming and wonderfully fair memory.
All thanks be to our energetic and gal
liant young men. We hope, with the
ladies, that their success may be an in
centive to other pleasures.
