I Walhalla Lodge, No. 67, Entertains 136 Quests at a Delightful BanqueL One hundred and thirty-six Knights and their friends assembled at the Wal halla Hotel last Friday night to enjoy the banquet given by Walhalla Lodge, No. 07, Knights of Pythias. It was indeed a foast of good things. Mine Host Beard does nothing by halves, and the spread was elegant and bountiful. At 0.46 the guests entered the banquet hall, where they were seated at throe tables extending tho full length of the room, laden with an abundance of good things, aud laoking in nothing save the inimitable Burne's Falernia? wine, the serving of wbioh is not included in Pythian etiquette. Tbero wero quite a number of guests from a distance. All of the speakers were from neighboring cities, exoept J. W. Shelor, Esq., of Walhalla Lodge, who welcomed the guests, aud Major Wm.'J. Stribling, who responded in a happy manner to the toast, "Walhalla Lodge/' Jroposod by Hon. C. R. D. Burns. Prof. . M. Moss proposed the toast, "Our Guosts," to J. W. Shelor, Esq. Gen. M. L>. Bonham, of Anderson, re sponded to the toast, "Pythianism," pro posed by Dr. E. C. Doyle, of Seneca. Qen. Bonham's was a most excellent re sponse, being a well-timed portrayal of the aims and Ideals of the Pythian order. His hearers wore uuanimous in praising both tho matter and manner of his remarks. J. J. McSwain, Esq., of Greenville, re sponded to "Woman," tho toast pro posed by Gon. M. L. Bonham, of Andor son. It was evidont from Mr. MoSwaln's | ontbusiastio and ti moly remarks ''bat in bim woman not only strikes a responsive chord, but is very close to his heart. Many of bis remarks were humorous and witty, keeping an almost constant smile I on tho facos of those who board him. Hon. Goo. E. Prince, of Andorson, made au excellent, response to the toast j proposed by Senator E. L. Herndon, "South Carolina." Touching briefly upon tho glorious past, tho prosperous, present and the hopeful future of the, grand old Commonwealth, Mr, Prince's responso was well received and heartily applauded. Mr. Marshall L. Alexander, of Green ville, sat with tho speakers, but did not addross the banqueters. Hts beaming countenance, however, showed that he was glad to be numbered among this happy crowd at bis old home town. Other welcome guests from our ?int er ] townsend a distanco wero: Mrs. and Mrs. T. E. Stribling, Misses Carrie She lor and Maude Hopkins, Dr. W. R. Doylo, of Seneca; Miss Carrie Hamilton, of I Buford, Ga. ; Mrs. E. M. Cud worth, of Charleston; Dr. C. M. Walker and Mr. Paul W. Matheson, of Wostmidster; Mr. J. C. Cummings and Miss (Jenola Cum mings, of Andorson; Miss Kate Sharp, of Townville. It was greatly regretted that Dr. J. TL Thoruwofl, of Fort Mill, and Mr. Wm. Goldsmith, of Greenville, two prominent Grand Lodgo Knights, wore unable to attoud the banquet. Their prosonoe is always an inspiration to the Knights of the local lodgos. That tho banquet was u groat success | is evidont from tho mauy flattering com? monts mado by guests, both as to tho j spirit of the entertaining Knights and tho excellence of the banquet furnished by Mr. Board. It was a sourco of groat pleasure to I tho members of tho Walhalla Lodgo to have with them so many of their friends, and it is honed tho future bolds in store for them other and equally pleasant occa sions of this kind.

It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with sty ne hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. , ,por all weak and pale and thta1 children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. We will send you the penny, /. e., a sample free. Be ?or? that this picture In the lorn ot a label is on the wrapper of every bot.'le of Kniunion you bay. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.
