Cheer up. boy s, the sun will shine sollie lime and thru you can get to go to see ihr "H. I. T. Sweet One." Last Thursday morning, as the sun darted on bis day's journey, and everybody was at their duty, the young people were thinking of the jolly time they were expecting that night. It was a sociable given at Mr. I*. II. Brown's in honor of Miss Pet Kinley, who is one among the belles of our community. Thi' night came; the wind ceased its harsh blowing and ber '-ne a gentle breeze. Thru the boys anti girls came pouring in until the room was well fill ed, when, ut the suggestion of Miss Pet, they started their fun, which con sisted in all thc funniest, plays, laugh ing and talking, until it came to the spinning of the pinte. When "Hen's" number was called he was so anxious to get it before it fell, he tell down upon it. The plate was well supplied with molasses, which, of course. Hen got over his hands and face. He was quite astonished when he found what he had gotten into, but the crowd was sot/nll ?d' laughter that he said nothing but made for the wash pan and water. Hr rarrful itexl time, Hrn. and carry some bread with you. and not try to 'lick" the plate with your nose. So lite titur passed, ami when we looked out in th(' heavens, what must attract our attention but HM? brightness ol' the beautiful moon, with all the ninny brant ifni stars around her. lt wits one of those nights when sweethearts love to walk and tell each other of their love, when the poets think of their most beautiful sayings. Hut, oh! this beautiful moon had reached half-way on her majestic tour, and the clock wns telling the time when all should retire, so bidding each adieu, and wishing to inert them all soon again we all parted to our homes, leaving nothing but the thoughts of the happy hours. We hope not to let this be til?: last sociable nor the lust time we meet in pleasure. Wishing every body a happy life, we are titi'same SCHOOL HOY. A Card of Thanks. HKl.TOX, S. C., Keb. 31, lSiHI.
