evening. Nature smiled. affording .
perfect evening. A crowded. enshnsi-
astic house, splendid program. bril-
liaptly executed The teachers who
bave lent their time and talent toward
the perfect preparation of the most at
traotive program, deserve ar1 are re-
ceiving most fiattering comment upon
the success of the entertainment, cele-
brating the birthday of Washington.
The program :e given in full below, and
we wish time and space would allow a
full description of each number We
feel, however, that there are few which
deserve especial mention: The "Flag
Drill" participated in by number Of
the smaller children, was intricate in de-
sign, but perfect in execution, in fact,
the evolutions were 30 smoothly and
perfectly given that it would have done
danced by four couples of older boys
and girls, was decidedly the hit of the
evening, which fact was strongly
evidenced by the vooiferous encore.
Master Wales Lowery with Little Miss
Ruth Benedict lead perfectly, represent
ling George and Lady Washington most
gracefully. The other couples, viz, Joe
Todd with Jeanette Holland, James Nc
Cary with Mary Julia Reid, Lowery Ham
ilton with Lillian Hopkins, were all
splendid and lent beautiful and graceful
assistance to their leaders. The Co.'S
tunes were bright, displaying perfectly
the style of dress, not omitting the
blonde wigs, which made the fashions OF
ye olden time 80 attractive. 1t was o
source of regret to her many friends that
the illness of Miss Lutte Jordan pre-
vented her filling an important part in
the program.
Our citizens have been made rich in
good things the past week. On Friday
evening the school building was again
the resort of pleasure seekers, the ocoa-
sion being the appearance of the Chicago
Schiller Quartet. OF the several lyoeum
attractions here, this is conceded to be
the best, not reflecting in the least upon
the very excellent ones preceding. One
very pertinent fact that cannot fail to
impress an audience is the perfect prepa-
ration shown in all the programs rem
dered by the lyceum entertainments,
The material being excellent, the train,
ing the very best, it remains to be clearly
seen that these splendid shows are just a
little beyond the reach of small place
like ours. We mean by that, that it il
only through strenuous effort, with per-
sonal responsibility, that our school
management is able to procure these
specialties at cost that is within oul
reach, and our citizens show their appre
citation of this fact by giving the effort
their subtantial support. The question
uppermost in the public mind now is
when and what will the next be?
On Thursday afternoon next at three
O'Clock call meeting of South Caroline
Presbytery will be held in the Presbyte
rian church here. Following is copy

But say! Did everybody see how noblN
our boys turned out on Friday evening
lastP We were just as proud to see it a.
could be. 1t is true there were few
who, for sundry reasons, were solitary
and alone. Some were beaten to the tank
by the other fellow; some suffered the
misfortune to have girl on the sick list
and some gave no excuse. We suppose
they just amt built that way, but alto
gether the attendance of our boys with
their best girls was most fatterinl
indeed!
