A Rock Party.

Friday afternoon from five to
seven Misses Ouida and Lillian Pat
tison gave a rock party in honor OF
little Miss Elizabeth Craig of Ander-
son who is here visiting her grand
mother, Mrs. Lizzie Cogburn. The
decorations were pink and white
and this was carried out to the minu-
test detail, even in the refreshments.
The chief form of diversion for the
sixteen little guests was a spirited
game of rock, four tables being ar
ranged on the porch. A beautiful
prize was presented to the guest of
honor. At the conclusion of the game
of rock refreshments consisting of
pink and white block ice cream, pink
and white cake and pink and white
mints were served. AS the afternoon
passed all regretted when the time
came to say goodbye, the occasion
being one of unusual pleasure.

Chautauqua at Johnston.

Commencing Friday night, August
25, a summer Chautauqua will be
held at Johnston for five nights, ex-
Guiding Sunday night. The exercises
will be held under a big tent and a
splendid miscellaneous program has
been arranged for each night. Friday
night the program will consist of a
grand opening concert and a lecture
on Immortality of Influence" will
be delivered by Mr.. George L. Bar
ker, and each night thereafter an at
tractive program will be given. In
addition to the lectures and musical
features, several popular comedies
will be given by talented actors and
actresses. The fourth night the play
SIT Pays to Advertise" will be given.
All proceeds from the c%hautauqua
above actual expenses will go to the
Johnston school. The Johnston Chau-
tauqua deserves to succeed.
Commencing Friday night of this
week and lasting for five nights,
Sunday night excepted, a chatauqua
will be held at Johnston and the net
proceeds will go to the Johnston
school. We trust that it will be a
great success financially and from
every other standpoint.
The people Of Johnston are to be
commended for putting on the sum-
mer Chautauqua, which will begin
Friday night of this week. The in
fluence of such entertainment is al
ways wholesome and helpful to a
community. Even if they only break
even financially, it will have paid the
people of Johnston to hold the Cha
tauqua.
Be sure to attend one night of the
Chautauqua at Johnston if no more.
You will find the lectures inspiring
and the other features of the pro-
gram altogether pleasing.
