Reception for Teachers, Stu dents and Baracas. The Young Woman's Auxiliary of the Baptist denomination in South Carolina are being organized in all of the Baptist schools of the state, in order to impress them with the missionary idea as they are taking their college courses. Many of the mothers are identified with this young women's missionary movement, and for that reason it was deemed a worthy idea for the Woman's Missionary Society to en tertain all of the teachers and stu dents of Edgefield, and with them the Baraca class to whom th?y al ready owed a debt of gratitude for their entertainment at the dining room shower last wnter. Invitations were issued last week, and at the spacious and hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Jones, on Tuesday evening this reception was held, all of the mission society and Y. W. A. members being hos tesses. Beautiful decoration? of lovely flowers met the eye of each as they entered, delightful nectar having been served on the veranda as the guests arrived. The wide ball and adjoining rooms were filled with guests who enjoyed the pleasant conversation with friends'until the time for the evening's program arrived. Mr. J. L. Mims announced the numbers, the first being a piano duet by Mis ses Ruth Lyon and Helen Dorn. Dr. E. P. Jones gave a very hu morous but gracious greeting to the guests of this occasion. After this Miss Nelle Jones gave a piano solo. Miss Nan Gunter was called upon for two vocal solos, so greatly do the people of Edgefield value her voice. Miss Margaret May also rendered a beautiful piano solo, "Rondo Ca priccioso," and Miss Ouida Pattison recited a humorous and entertaining selection from Josiah Allen's wife, entitled "irying the Rose Act." At the conclusion of this very pleasant program, refreshments of ice cream and cake were served by the Young Woman's Auxiliary the guests lingering until an unusually late hour in such pleasant and con genial environment.1 The gentlemen who signed the contract for the lyceum course are requested to meet in the office of j Dr. J.
