Barrister Iloxie G Askinsand William Scott,of Kingstrce, shed the light of their presence among our townsmen last Sunday.

J J Morris, had a regular Santiago 6ea fight with the "finny tribe"' last Thursday. The casualties were wholly on the side of the latter. . * . j Friday evening was an occasion of amMual pleasure to the crowd of young peop'e gathered at the lovely home 01 air. n n oingiutary, where a moon-light picnic was given in honor of Alias Emily Doty. The grounds, than which no prettier are to be found, were in perfect condition, and with the bea'ity of the scene enhanced by 1 he silvery splendor ot a full moon, everything conspired to make the event one of great eclat and cn joyment. Those who failed to find somecozy nook where Cupid's court held sway, participated in games, which made them ready i for the feast of good things thar j came later on. Mrs. Singletary and i her assistants are to l?e congral-; ulntorl nnrtn the success of the latter very important feature. The ^ table was loaded with delicacies! tosatisfy the tasteof the most exacting, and all went away looking as if they "needed no more at present." Later on water melons were served, after which games were again the order of the evening, continuing till the small hours of the night. The hospitality of the host, and hostess was much appreciated, and Mr. J I) feingletary also won tne nearis 01 all by his untiring efforts to see that none were neglected. In the memory of every one who attend ed, the occasion will remain a bright spot for many days to come. Scribe. Benson Budget.
