All embers of the order and the public enerally are cordially invited to be 'resent THE WOMAN'S CLUB. The Annual Meeting at the Home of the President, Mrs. L. W. Floyd, An Enjoyable Affair. Thiat tie slperstitions; attachning to !the number 1:) have no terrors for the lemlbers of the Woman 's club. of Newberry, is evidenced by the fact that this club was organized on the 113th of February, just five years ago, and with thirteen charter members. It has been the custom of the club ever since to celebrate its anniversary at the home of the president; and, as the dates have repeated themselves, these occasions have grown to be more and more delightful, the climax thus far being reached in the entertain ment at Mrs. L. W. Floyd 's on Tues day evening last. This ideal home lends itself 'per fectly to the accommodation of a large number of guests, and its taste ful elegance required no decorations to enhance its beauty. In the draw ing room and reception halls there were a few touches of the club's col' ors-two shades of violet; and in the dining room, cut glass vases of crim son carnations, real lace centerpieces co.r crimson, and candle shades of the same bright hue, reminded all that it was the eve of good St. Valentine. After the guests had assembled the following very enjoyable programme was carried out: 1. Overture, The Calif of Bagdad, Mesdames S. B. Jones and J. M. Kib ler. 2. Tenor Solo. 3.. Humorous Reading, The Invalid, Mrs. S. L. Powell. 4. Violin Solo, Italian Romance, Miss Nannie McCaughrin. 5. "Our Club Work from the View Point of a New Member." Mrs. J. E. Norwood. 6. Baritone Solo, Answer, with vio lin obligato, Mr. S. B. Jones. 7. Violin Solo, Miss Nannie Me Caughrin. 8. Instrumental Duet. Mesdames lKibler and Jones. At the conclusion of this delightful feature crimson hearts were passed to the ladies and white arrows to the men, on each of which was written; half of a quotation suggestive of the; valentine season, the reading of which furnished much merrimnent: and, in; this way, partners for sup per were secured. An elegant course supper was serv ed-a genuine feast of appetizing dishes-turkey, macaroni, sandwiche beaten biscuit, chipped oysters, chick en salad, crackers, ice cream, white cake, fruit cake and creme de menthe. A great deal of merriment was af forded between courses, by having each gentleman write a description of his wife's wedding dress, these being read aloud. Many former brides were surprised to find how far from lasting had been the impression on their hus bands' minds of the dress whi'eh they had spent so much thought and time in planning. And thus another milestone 'has been passed by the Woman 's elub. That in the five fears of its existence tangible results have been effected, none will gainsay; andl may this soeial meeting, coming once during each year 's regular club work, serve to bring the members into closer touch with others who are striving to im p~rove their minds, to better the condi tions around them and perhaps in a smiall way, but nevertheless surely, to aiid in the uplifting of humanify.

Saw Mill Burned-The Sayings and Doings of Many People In Newberry's Sister City. Prosperity. February 1->.-Owinu t1 the fact that business cails Vou cor respondent to Columbia on the 14th. we will have to forego the pleasure of attending the silver wedding of our chief. 'Twas ever thus. Fate seems to dash many of the pleasant cups from our lips, just when we had hoped to sip the nectar within. Well. well, Chips. we do sympathize with you. We had our head cut off once upon a time in this same office. That was about sixteen Years ago, and "old man Kay'" has had to grow an other one since then. We've got the head all right, but :t will get awry sometimes, a conditior- brought about by trying to forget old things and see the new ones. You will get over it by and by. Say, Chips, I would suggest as a remedy that you enter the race for the legislature from New berry county. This is said to have a settling effect. Mr. D. M. Bedenbaugh had the mis fortunte to lose his saw mill by fire last Friday night. The engineer had made a fire a little ways from the engine to warm his feet and went home at night without putting out the fire. The wind blew the fire into the mill and burned the frame work of the mill and ruined his saw. The loss is about $350, with no insurance. Casually stepping into the post office one day last week we heard the question of the ground hog discussed. Several gave their opinions, but Un cle Bob Stoudemayer said he had helped dig one out, "time o' the war,'' in Virginia and he knew how they looked. Some of our citizens had been to Newberry the day before and their description of ground hoo and Uncle Bob's did not tally. Your correspondent don't know which de scription was correct. We have several tinmes c:uoted from others and we have never seen a wave from life 's sea that hit the spot any nearer than the following: "'If those who whine would whistle, And those who languish laugh: The rose would rout the thistle. The g-rain outrun the chaff." But, then, .you know the work of destruction is so much easier than construction and there are so many more engaged in the former occupa t'on than in the latter. ier.

Four hundred dollars is the price paid for an invitation to the Roose relt-Longworth wedding, to a specula tive guest, who, it appears, "needed the money'' says a Washington dis patch to the News and Courier under date of Tuesday. Word was received at the White House from an unquestionable sourcej that an invitation to the wedding was sold to a person more anxious to wit-: ess the ceremony than the original older of the precious card. Efforts are being made to locate the purchas er of the ticket, with a view to cancel-; ing the invitation. The limited list f invitations has been carefully scru-. tinized, and White House officials ealize that they have a difficuilt task efore them to spot the holder of the 400 card and turn it down when it is. >resented. There are further reports f active speculation in the much;1 >rized invitations but the case above ited came to the White House so di ect and so well supported as to justi fy investigation. The actual niumber f invitations is not as large by sever al hundred as has been generally sta ed unofficially. It was intended orig nally to limit the number 'to one housand. Upon a close su-vey of the H tanding space in the East room it ill not permit more than seven hun-t red people to comfortably test its ~apacity. There will be noI seats for any one. ot 'oveni for Bishop Satterlee. who is o perform thle cremolnyv entirely uin ssisted. The~ cho1ir boys were cut out o ~make roomfl for more impIortant ~uests. The platform, upon which the ridal party wvill stand, and the rib oned aisle framed from the grand ~orridor to) the altar. also take up usiderable space. The decorations -il be artistie, but not as prolific as ~riginally contemp)lated. There will be o wedding bell, which was the floral eature of Nellie Grant 's wedding. It as the examination of the records of lie Nellie Grant wedding, which ne ssita ted the reduction in the num ier of invitations.
