AFTER FoRRTY-TWo YEARS.
Joseph Mann of Newberry is Paid a
Visit by His Brother Alex Mann,
Of Chicago.

Mr.. Joseph Mana, who for many
years has conducted dry goods and
clothing busiaess in Main street. was
doubtless the happicst man in town
yesterday. There were smiles all over
Mr.. Mann's face, and his voice had
the ring Of joy in it.
Fonty-two years ago Mr.. Joe Mann
left MS home in Berlin, Germany,
coming to make himself home in
America. Later he located in New
berry, where he has prospered, and
by his conduct has made for himself
many friends. In file old German
home, Mr.. Mann left brother, young
cr than himself by four years.
After serving the required time in
the Emperor's army, Mr.. Alex Mann,
too, left The Fathcrland and estab-
lishcd himself II the business of a
mcrchant-tailor in the city of Chica-
go, where he has also prospered, and
has family consisting Of a wife and
seven children.
For several years now these two
brothers have been in corrcspon-
dcnce with each other. But Mr..
Joseph Mann had no idea that
his brother was on his way to New
berry to pay him visit until ycstcr-
day morning. when a gentleman, abous
flfty-elght years old, walked into
MS store. Or course, Alex Mann
had the advantage of Joseph, for he
was expecting to find him here. Even
then. however, he was not sure that
he mad at last looked into his broth
er's Face. Mr.. Joseph Naan was
completely surprised. aid ii was some
minutes before he could realize that
the man who stood beside him was tlr,
little Mex he had left nearly half a
century ago in dear old Berlin. When
the shock at the surprise each had
received was over, the two brothers
embraced each other passionately, so
rrJ"icrd were they That once again
tney were brought together
Mr.. Alex Mann instends spcndin"
several weeks with his brother.
No one, except these two, can i'm
aeinc the delight ful hours they will
spend these winter evenings, as they
sit about the pleasant frcsiie Of Mr..
Joseph Mann's delightful home, 60
Ing over again the days Of their child
hood and youth. Once more will they
live the life Of the happy German
boys. revelling in the rccollectipns of
their father, mother, kindred. and
ncighbors. And il will be interest
III" to Mr.. Joseph Maan'S two bright
daughters to hear the father and the
uncle relate the stories Of their lives
in the land Of the Rhine.

AN IMPRoMPTU RECEPTION.
The Friends of Miss Burton Give Her
a Happy Surprise at Her Ele-
CANT New Home. -.

Among the many new houses built
III Newhcrry within the past year
there IS none more attractive than
that Of Miss Mary Burton. This new
home is situated on The corner of
Harrington and Crenshaw streets,
and Is a two-story, grey stucco cot
tage. OAo Is at once attracted to it
by its broad, protected vcranda and
general iomeiikc appearance but it's
chief charm is its most convenien*
and tasty interior. Entering the
front door one is ushercd into a small
vestibulc which is separated by poY-
tiers from the spacious reception hall,
with It's hospitHblc, ,chce:y CRATE and
wide, cosy window-$eat. From this
hall, through wide sliding doors, one
enters into the parlor; thence into
the dining-doom. Both these rooms
are most attractive. as are the three
bedrooms up stairs, with their large
sunny windows and all modern con-
venienceS.
This home was completed last week
and some Of Miss Burton's many
friends, knowing that she was about
ready to begin housekeeping, lccid-
ed to give her Il surprise party. Quite
number Of them met at one Of the
Ae'ehbors and at the appointed hour
started out for their destination.
When they came in sight of the house,
other friends, by appointment, were
coming from all directions, the COM
mon purpose being to meet at the
corner and form a formidable COM
pany to take the hostess by storm. As
1t was raining and there was no little
mud, with true house.wifely fore
Thought, and as each member of the
company was laden with a kitchen
utcnsil or scmc housekeeping help,
the company thought best to direct
their muddy steps to the Kitchen in
stead of the parIor. So, with as
much noise as fifteen or twenty wo-
men and one brave little lad could
make, the company stamped up the
back steps. Oue Of the friends had
been sent on a half hour before to
keep the hostess at home; so we had
no fear that we would have to leave
our cards and return disappointed.
Hearing such stamping on her prem
lses, our hostess at once appeared
aad the surprise party was on.
The company at once took posses
sion of the kitchen, and all the mys-
tcrious parcels were unwrapped, each
of them containing some most indis-
pensable housekeeping article, accom-
panied by many, expressions Of love
and good wishes for the recipient.
