Brown complimented her many lady friends with a ' Violet Tea," which, f.r brilliancy and beauty, surpassed any of the Beason. Tbe beautiful home of Mrs. Brown was ones the home of the late Hon. James L. Orr, and was built by him in tbe most approved and substantial architecture of iCs day and time, and as it now stands alone in the midst of a grove of giant oaks, It presents one of the most imposing and beautiful of onr city homes. As w?* entered the door of this stately dwelling we were met by three beautiful little girls, Georgia Brown, Helen Cashine and Julia Fant, dressed in exquisite costumes, who ushered us in and bade us welcome. A scene of beauty and loveliness en? tranced us. Dark green ivy vines gleamed on the, pure white walls and encircled every'picture and ornament; it festooned mantels and mirrors in graceful profusion. Tbe whole of tbe down stairs rooms were thrown open for the enjoyment of guests, and all were tastefully and elaborately decorated. Large crystal bowls and vases, filled with violets, greeted you every? where with their blue-eyed aweetness. Large stately palms gleamed forth from thelv nooks In tropical beanty. The rooms were crowded with handsomely attired women, who, by their gay laughter and bright sallies, bespoke their enjoyment of 'this scene. Soft, delicious strains of music floated np from tbe keys of a "Baby-Grand" Piano, and the fair performer was sur? rounded by a cotorie of music-loving friends. Our fair hostess received ns most gra? ciously. ' Attired in full evening dress of pale violet colored silk, made en train and trimmed in rich lace, she looked most lovely as she Btood and greeted her friends. Tbe ladies who assisted her in receiving were Mrs. G. E. Brown, Mrs. Reese Fant, Mrs. Narramore, Mrs. T. F. Hill and Mrs. G. M. Tolly. All these were gowned in handsome and elegant evening costumes, and were looking their very best. The guests were conducted into tbe din? ing-room through a beaded portierl of I Japanease design. Here a new fiold of delight awaited us, and our eyes wandered o'er this scene, "Where a feast of reason and flow of soul" held sway. In tbe cen? tre of tbe room stood a table lndened with delicious sweets. Food fit for "ye gods" lay in tempting profusion, tall wax can? dles sat upon each corner of the table and abed soft radiance o'er this spread. Vio? let-tinted ribbon depended from the- chan? delier and violets, sweet violets, breathed out their spring-like fragrance. We were waited upon and refreshed by a bevy of our most beautiful maidens, who were exquisitely dressed and did tbe honors of the "dining-room" in a most graceful and charming manner, and of all the sweet flowers that decorated this room none more sweet, none more lovely than these eight youthful maidens, who so charmingly regaled us with their sweets. The souvenirs handed ui were hand painied pallettes, banjos and hearts, paint? ed in violets. They were unique and lovely. We lingered amid this fairy scene until our hour told us we must depart, having been made happy in meeting and ming? ling with our dear sweet womankind, and thanking our lovely hostess for the de? lightful afternoon. At 8 o'clock in the evening this home was still open to tbe enjoyment of the young people, who were invited to chase tbe "flying hours with flying feet." Mu? sic held sway until a late hour, when these happy young people, with reluctance, de? parted with many, many thanks to their kind host and hoBtess for their hospitality. Belton Items.

We have two Buglers now and "Taps" sound very sweet as it comes floating up to our window from the moon-lit parade ground, and especially so to th. unfortu? nates who have been on guard the night before. Both the Library and Read lug room are well patronized by the Cadets. Doesn't It seem queer?that Bolt and Steele should till tbe fields, While Turnipseed the hammer wields. And Coon is never seen by Knight, As long as Hunter is in sight. But I suppose it is right. You will think that is very Farr fetched bo I will make my best bow and rotire. T. Townvllle Locals. Edward Perry, colored, of Seneca, 8. C, was arrebted and brought before Trial Jus? tice W. F. M. Fant and convicted of vio? lating tbe dispensary law. Hia sentence was thirty days in jail or one hundred dollars fine. He was sent to the Ander? son jail. If you want to enjoy the fresh air about 'Squire Fant you better not Bell any whiskey. Mrs. Charlotte Campbell, of Oconee, who has been sick so long, we are glad to note is better. Mrs. Campbell is about ninety-nix years old, and I expect the old? est woman in Oconee or Anderson. Mr. Handy Harris, living near this place, had a lot of corn, fodder and pota? toes stolen from his place a few nights ago. The thieves were bold, taking a wagon into Mr. Harris' lot, which is near the dwelling. Mr. Harris tracked the wagon above W. N. Woolbright's and lost the trail. Fellow-citizens, we are of the opinion that a vigilant committee would be a good Idea at this present time. Mrs Prof. W. A. Dickson and Miss Su da Mar et t, of South Union, S. C, have been visiting relatives and friends in this place Mr. Calhoun Harris and Miss Helen Ca? ter, of Anderson, paid Townville a short visit on the second Saturday and Sunday. Old Rosin De Bow. MoEeley Items. Rev. John T. Morgan preached two very impressive sermons here last Sabbath in tbe Baptist Church in tbe a. m., and in the Methodist in the p. m. A few cases of sickness since our last, but all have reported better. Mr- W. P. Evans recently informed bis neighbors that he will inorease his cotton crop this year. It is a boy. Several of our citizens were over on the river fishing last Saturday evening. Tbey say they caught several. Mamma?"When that boy threw rocks at you. why didn't you come and tell me instead of throwing them back?" "Tell you! Wby you couldn't bit tbe barn door." The farmers bave got to work in earnest now, and possibly some of them were not sorry to see It u.n last Saturday morning. They had been at work all week, and those who didn't want to rest wanted to go fishing. Just a few bave planted corn ?not mucb, just a patch or two. Aside from this bnt little preparation has been made for a corn crop ; all for cotton. Tbe forage patches have been neglected, too. Tbe small grain crop is looking well. Have seen some better than Capt. J. T. Barnes', but 'tis on better land. News is scarce just now. No deaths, no marriages,-no visitors. Pedeo. Shlloh Items. Our farmers are at work with much en? ergy building new gardens, repairing pas? tures and cleaning off their farms. H seemB that every man is trying to excel his neighbor in farm work. Peaches in this section are nearly all killed. Mr. John Long, who has been visiting his son, Mr. W. E. Long, bos returned to his home in Texas. Mr. J. D. Kelly has purchased a cotton seed crusher. The Shlloh School is sti'l in a flourishing condition. We think the patrons are for? tunate in securing Mr. Littlejohn-as teach? ers. His school averages between 30-and 40 pupils per day. Mr. Littlejohn has been suffering very much with bis eyes. He has been to Spar tanbug to have them treated. We wish him a speedy recovery. An infant of Mr. Taylor Fleming died last week. Our Sunday School is well attendei. We hope, however, the attendance will increase as Spring approaches. School Girl. The Cooking Class, We are pleased to leairn that this com? mendable enterprise, after some prelimi? nary draw-backs, (which materially inter ferred with the carrying out of the pro? gram for tbe introductory lesson,) is now fairly started, and promises to be very in? teresting and popular. The lesson of Mon? day on broiling, and Tuesday on salads, etc., were evidently much appreciated by tbe class, judging from reports of those ?resent. The "Salads" and "Almond Barcelona Cream" yesterday seemed to be particularly enjoyed by all. Tbe pro? gram for Thursday, 3 p.m., will be breads. White, Graham, Bread of ' entire wheat flour," French Twist and "Sticks" will be made and served with coffee or cocoa No lady, old or young, ambitious to be? come accomplished in the art of com? pounding the "staff of life" in various forms, should miss this lesson. Program for Friday, 3 p. m., will be desserts. Cold, hot and frozen, gopher orange ice, peach mousse, baked bananas, with Chandot sauce. Friday's lesson completes the first half of the course, and owing to the in? terest in the Evangelistic meetings, it has been decided to defer tbe opening of the last half of the term, (which comprises a very important and choice program,) un? til Thursday, the 29th inat. Ladies not having had the opportunity of entering the class at the opening of term can do so now, and the cost of tbe lessons already given will be deducted from the price of full term ticket.
