Halloween Party at Victoria In
stitute.

On Friday night 2LJ inst, thanks
to the we'll written and timely notice
in your paper, we had very pleas
ant and profitable evening at
Victoria Institute.
The gas buggies brought people
from the four corners of Edgefeld
and Aiken counties and from other
states.
Refreshments were sold and en-.
joyed. The witch was on hand in
all of her (?) wiles and quite a
figure she (?) did cut in her (?)
somber robes. witch's cap, streaming
locks, and broom stick. She ~
added not little to the amusements
of the evening.
Mr.. John P. Mesling entertained
the crowd with negro sermon on
''The Prodigal Son. He was at
his best. His dialect and delivery
were SO good that b!ark Nanny"
paused on shout and said, 1 am
Just tell you Mr.. Mcaling show kin
preach" That was true compli-
ment.
Miss Mayhem read, THE Goblins
will get you it you don't watch out"
The part of the excitedly enthusiastic
little girl was never played better
than by this accomplished young
lady on this occasion.
Her grace and beauty were never
shown to better advantage than on
this stage.
The Improvement cluo tenders to
her it's hardest thanks for her part
in making the evening success.
She won the cake for being the most
popular young lady.
I would like to give you COM
plete list of the good people present
but the list would look like an an
nouncement of the selective draft
SO will refrain and give you the
amount of the fund the society
cleared S4l.OO.
Miss Lyon says that she can see
new Hyloplate black boards in the
school room first of all the improve
ments and she wants to write thanks
all over it in gratefulness to the
teachers, friends, neighbors, and
the bachelors from our sister state
who were present.
The handsome generous bachelors
who, I think, were looking for
helpmates were so dazzled they
could not decide among 80 many
young beauties.

also brighten up the intermissions with
her musical monologues.
Mr.. Laurant will also have his own
pianist; also q stage assistant to han
die his many properties.
The production Of the coming season
will be equipped in the usual lavish
manner that has characterized all his
entertainments, the stage settings sur
passing in beauty all previous efforts.
For more than seventeen years the
Great Laurant has been a Chautauqua
and Lyceum headliner. For more than
ten years he has appeared under Red
path management, fact which speaks
for itself.
During the years which he has de-
voted to the Lyceum platform many
offers from vaudeville and theatrical
managers have been turned aside by
Mr.. Laurant because he believed in the
Lyceum as a greater field In which to
present his work.

WIFE CHARGED AGED MAN
WITH ASSAULT ON Sol
From Mondays Daily /

A family row was aired in police
court this afternoon when Jonathan
Brown was brought before Judge j.
c. Porter on the complaint of his
wife, charged with assaulting his
son, Oscar Brown. Brown pleaded
not guilty and his trial was set for
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
From the appearance of Mr.. Brown
who is a short slight man about 70
years old, it would seem that the
assault had been committed against
him. A large bruise on his skull and
a badly torn ear were carried by the
old man as marks of the recent en-
counter Browns wife, however,
insists that her, husband is guilty
of assault on their son.
The father and son with their
families live together at S23 North
Walnut street.
