Mrs. Dial Gray entertained Friday
afternoon In honor OF her house guest.
Mrs. III. N. Snyder, of Spartanburg.
After a number OF games were played
delightful ice course was served. A
number of ladies were present at this
little affair and 1t was thoroughly en-
joyed-
Mrs. III. N. Snyder was again the
honoree at a luncheon given Monday
at noon by Mrs. w. l.. Gray at her
beautiful home on West Main street.
This was a very delightful occasion.
a very congenial party of ladies gath
ering to greet Mrs. Snyder.
Mrs. w. G.. Irby, Jr., entertained
very delightfully."- yesterday afternoon
in honor of Mrs. Homer Blackwell, one
of the recent brides. A large number
of the younger married set were pres
ent and a most enjoyable afternoon
was spent.
Last Wednesday evening, from three
to six, Plumer and Connie May Grad
dock, entertained their friends, thir-
ty-five'in number at a birthday party
at their home few miles from Lau-
rens 1t was quite a pretty picture,
the two parties at the same time, and
carried out so nicely.
Plumer entertained her guests out
under the shade of the beautiful wa
ter oaks, until hasty shower drove
them into the house. where they gath
cred around the organ and passed
their time with sweet music.
Connie May with her little guests
fitted here, there and everywhere, like
little butterflies in all the colors of
the rainbow, till they were invited
to the dining room where the table
was prettily decorated with rose buds
and ferns. They were bountifully
served with ice cream and cake. They
were then ushered back to the porch
or yard, wherever their little hearts
prompted. Plumer and her guests
were then invited to the dining room,
and daintily served in the same way.
AT six they all left, after having ex-
pressed themselves as having a pleas
ant time, wishing many returns of the
day to Plumer and Connie May. Miss
Marie Woods and brother, of Prince
ton, were on a visit to Plumer and en-
joyed the party ever so much

at LOGGERHEADs AGAIN.

Disregarding entirely the question
whether the Greenville, Spartanbmrg
and Anderson Railroad corporation
intention of entering Laurens. it
seems To us that the City Council had
absolutely no grounds for turning
down the petition of the free holders
as 1t did last Wednesday when they
asked that an election be ordered to
decide whether SIT 800 in bonds should
be voted to aid in procuring that road.
In disregarding the petition of a ma
Jority of the free holders Of the CITY,
the Council virtually declared that
free holders were not competent to be
entrusted with the disposition OF their
own property. This action would
leave anyone to believe that Council
considered that the citizens of the
town did not have enough business
ability to manage their own affairs
or decide for themselves what they
want. Council really says "Citizens
OF Laurens, you do not know what
you are asking for; this railroad is
trying to, make a catspaw of you and
we are the only ones that see the
joke Why, you have no business
with this election and we will not give
it to yon."
But. has council any right to refuse
this election? The act as passed by
the Iegislatufe declares that upon the
pStition of sufficient number of free
hpiders, the CW Council shall be en-
powered and directed to order the cleo
tiop as to whether the bonds shall be
issued or not. lit seems to us that

An acacia tree supposed to have
been planted by Victor Hugo in his
childhood has just been saved from de-
struction in Paris. The tree stands in
the Boulevard Raspail, and its tall,
curved trunk has long been familiar
to the inhabitants of that quarter. A
short time ago a certain NJ. Charuin
bought the plot upon which it grew
for the purpose of erecting "a man
sion. The whole quarter was disturb
ed at 1the9-news that a tree of such
tradions was about to disappear. When,
however, Nj. Chaurin heard that his
new mansion was likely to demolish
the object of a Veneratfon with which
ne ympathized hs altered his archi-
tectural plans and' built a semi -cireu-
lar frontage to his house, just inelas-
ing the acacia within the ratings. The
association of it with Victor Hugo is
disputed by authorities on that poets
lie, but one may feel gratified that a.
