Visitors Honored. ~~ Mrs. Arthur Brunson entertained the young ladies and gentlemen of the town on Friday night in honor of her nieces, Mrs. S. A. Burns and Miss Speights. The lawn provided ample room for the guests to play various sorts of out door gaines. After this the progressive conversa tion took place affording a rest after the exercise of the games. Delicious cream and cake were served. Though a short distance from town, it was a pleasure instead of an inconvenience, to ride out, for the night was beau tiful. The guests left about eleven thirty, having enjoyed the occasion and being pleased to meet two more of ,Edgefield's many visitors. Mr. George Adams' Ham. While we have not learned from our own/palate, yet it is said that wine improves with age. But we never knew before that ham belong ed in the class with wine. At the Colliers picnic Saturday, Mr. Geo. Adams, whose generous hospitality is equalled only by the length of his tongue, gave us some ham which he said was two years old and it has evidently improved with age. Its delicious flavor could not be excell ed. We do not know whether they raise Berkshires, Durocs, Poland Chinas, Tamworths, Essex, or the old-time '"razor-backs," but we do put Colliers against the universe for raising, curing, cooking and serving ham. Progressive Conversation Party. A very pleasant evening party was given by Miss Helen Tillman on Wednesday evening in honor of Miss Ella Ha.vnsworth of Green ville, her charming guest. A large number of young people were there to enjoy the happy occasion, and the lawn and pergola, which were beautifully lighted by Japanese lan terns, were used most effectively for the entertainment of all these hand some and gracious young men and maidens. The special entertainment was progressive conversation, which is a very wholesome and improving method of amusement in this strenu ous age. At the close of this pro gram, ice cream blocks and angel cake were served on the lawn and in the pergola. Fruit nectar was en joyed from the piazza, served by Misses Genevieve Norris, Cath erine Tannahill of Greenville, and Marie Helston. j Medal Contest Closes. Yesterday afternoon the contast of the blues and yellows came to a close, when the captains, Mrs. W. E. Lott and Mrs. E. J. Norris, en tertained all the membership and the new members. "Stand up for prohibition" was sung and prayer led by Mrs. Pendleton Jones. The program began with the medal winning song "Father dear father, come home with me now," by little Daisy Smith. . This was a beautiful and touching song by a dear little girl, and many eyes were tilled with tears as ?he concluded. Miss Ouida Pattison gave the medal winning selection, "Old Soapy" which was greatly enjoyed. William Jones sang "Youth's victory" and won hearty applause, as he always does when he sings. Miss Plelen Marsh gave her med al winning selection, "Why I sign ed the pledge" and all the large number of ladies present enjoyed and applauded this beautiful se lection so well said by such a sweet and winning little girl. Miss Mildred Glover of Bates burg played an instrumental selec tion from II Trovatore which added novelty to the occasion. At this time little Janie Edwards entered bearing in her arms a pie, "the 4 and 20 black bird kind." and there were whole birds of yellow and black for everybody to have one. On each bird was a question which had to be answered. Ten minutes was given for finding the answers which were pinned on blue birds' wings, roany of which had alighted on the curtains and pictures and in all sorts of places, and had been there all the time, enjoying the pro gram. But all these were captured and the blue and yellow birds were tied together with that bond of un ion and comradeship, the white rib bon bow. There were fifty-three questions about the W. C. T. U. asked and answered, but the most important ones were the questions about the membership contest. When the count was taken as to the number of new members, strange to relate, each side had exactly the same num ber, eleven each, and 22 names were added. These were most cordially and affectionately welcomed. That beautiful old song, "Listen to the mocking bird," was sung by Mrs. Ida Sheppard and Mrs. W. S. Cog burn. The W. C. T. JJ. benediction was repeated in concert; and after the excitement of managing so many birds everybody was invited to the dining room and served most boun tifully to peach cream and cake. On the piazza, on entering and leaving delightful fruit nectar wad served by Misses Ouida Pattison, Leila Quarles and Florence Minis. Very Interesting Letter From Hardy's Section.
