Entertainment a Success.

The Scotch concert which was
given in the opera house last Fri
day evening was complete success,
both as an entertainment and in the
matter of finances. The audience
was large and very appreciative,
giving at the time every possible
encouragement to those who par
ticipated in the entertainment. The
first part of the program was pre-
sented by the children in their little
play, The Sick Baby" This was
well received b: the audience, as
entertainments by well trained chill
dren always are. The second part
of the program consisted of old
Scotch songs by the best musical
ta,' ent from Johnston and Edgefeld.
Our friends from Johnston COM
pletely won the music lovers of
Edgetield, many expressing the hope
that these sweet singers will appear
before the Edgefeld footlights
again in the near future. The vocal
duets which were faultlessly ZEN
dered by Misses Emmie and Beat
rice Warth of Savannah thoroughly
captivated the audience. Our own
Edgeield singers also appeared to
the best possible advantage. And,
then, last, but by no means least,
there was the s. g. G. l. orchestra
which also covered itself with glory.
Many of our people did not
know that there were 80 large a
number of skilled musicians in the
student body. Our Edge6eld orches-
ira could easily win honors over
many of the orchestras in the cities.
Prof. Entzminger should feel very
proud of his accomplished perform
ers. From every standpoint the en-
tertainment which was given by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was pronouced success. The
door receipts amounted to $500,
which will greatly aid in the prose-
cution of the work of the organiza-
ton. The ladies' who planned and
whose untiring efforts made the en-
tertairment possible have been hear
tily commended and complimented
upon the success Of the entertain
ment.
A feature of the occasion was the
presentation of the prizes that were
awarded in the essay contest which
was conducted by the w. G. T. U,
under the immediate direction of
Mrs. Thomas H. Rainsford. The
first and second prizes in the alcohol
essay contest were won by Miss
Mamie Morgan, and Miss Pauline
Lewis. In the essay contest on the
use OF cigarettes the first and sec
ond prizes were won by Miss Ra-
cbael Simmons and Edwin Folk,
respectively. The prizes were pre-
sented by B. E. Nicholson and J.
L. Minis.

He WAS AN ACQUIRED TASTE
Pretty Compliment That Was Paid to
Richard Wilson, Painter, by
Certain Ladies.

Richard Wilson, the English land
scapc painter, was not of a plant
disposition; conscious OF his own
merits, he disdained to humble him-
self to those who measure men by
rank and value them by pounds. But
as is shown by this pretty story, told
in "Walnuts and Wine," Wilson's
friends liked him no less for his
brusque manner:
Goldsmith, Sterne, Wilson and
DR.. johnson were assembled at Gar
rick's house with a party of ladies
for supper.
ave were very lively at your ex-
pense indeed, gentlemen" said Mrs.,
Garrick, rallying them for having
arrived late. "To punish you for
not obeying our summons, the ladies
hkened you all to plants and fruits
and flowers"
"Pray let us hear" said Wilson.
DOUBTLESS 1 come in for a sprig Of
laurel"
'No, SIR" said the pretty, lively
lady, "you are wrong"
"For rue, perchance," said he.
'No, sir; guess again."
"Why, l am dubbed bitter enough
perhaps a crab" said he, "for that
man" (pointing to Garrick) "has
dubbed me Sour Dick"
"Guess again." said Mrs. Garrick,
laughing. will you give it up?'
Eyes, madam"
'Why, then, sir, you are likened
to olives. Now, will you dare to in
quire further?"
'Iet me See" said Wilson, with
all eyes upon him. ''Well, then, my
dear, out with it! I dare"
"Then know, sir" said she, rising
and curtsying most gravely, "Mr.
Wilson is rough to the taste at first,
tolerable by little longer acquaint-
unce, and delightful at last."-

the identity of the poet, but 1t did not reveal
1T completely. Many Of the so-called Jay
Whit poems were sent to the poets brother,
John Riley who had taken up residence in In
dianapoS. and who secured their publication
in the indianapolis Journal the indianapolis
Mirror and the indianapolis Herald, all of
which have long since suspended publication.
Some of the Jay Whit" poems were contrib

About 1875 a number Of poems made their
appearance in different Indiana papers and
bore the signature of j. w. Riley" One in
particular attracted widespread attention. 1t
was a little masterpiece entitled IF | Knew

combination Of u" and wv" as initials was
appalling to the Hoosier poet for Indiana was
a stamping ground for Methodists; and Rileys-
they too, hourished in gOOdly numbers, and the
Rieys for the most part were Methodists
Hence if he would maintain any individuality
at all, Riley found he must select another nom

Riley commissions to write for three Indiana

Riley began the consistent use of his full name,

once used the signature 'Jamesy O'Reilly,"

According to Mr.. Riley, the reason he had
not made use of his full name earlier was sim
ply that he had never thought Of doing so. But
when he saw his full name in print he was
similarly impressed as when he first happened
upon "Edyrn" in Tennyson's 'Idylls"-it was
a good name to say it had a ring to it, and
he liked It.
