The oyster supper, given Saturday
night, October I'd, by the Conneross
Local Union, at the Conneross acad-
emy, is conceded to have been one Of
the most brilliant and elaborate en-
tertainments in the history of this

members of the union, compliment
tary to their wives, daughters and
sisters. Several members of the
Bounty Land and Oak Grove unions
were invited. About one hundred

charge of the event did not leave a
stone unturned in making lavish pre-
parations. The school house was
beautifully lighted, and before eight
O'Clock the doors were opened, the
guests entered and were seated
around the long tables, which had
been prepared by the committee.
Twelve gallons of oysters had been
prepared. The following committee
served at the tables: Fitz Burley,
Walter Alexander Clinton Barker
and B. ID. Breazeale; Misses Rena
Hunsinger, Minnie Barker, Bessie
Keil and Katie Abbott. An excel
lent menu was served as follows:
Oyster Soup and Crackers.
Pickles. Ketchup. Chicken.
Custards. Pies.
Cake. Coffee.
After supper Mr.. Pickett lectured
to the union and gave interesting ac-
counts Of the meetings Of the unions,
and showed the good they are doing
and the purpose for which they
were organized. Mr.. Pickett is an
