There was much discussion at this meeting concerning the program and arrangements for memorial day -and for the veterans' dinner. One of the prettiest receptions giv en in Newberry recently was that ten dered by Mrs. P. G. Ellesor to her uests, Mesdames T. D. Dariington, W. D. Ferguson, R. F. Jones, W. D. Dopeland, and Miss Lizzie Brown. The guests were 'met at the door by Mrs. George Johnstone and invited into the parlor by Mrs. Frank R. Hun ter, where they were initroduced to the visiting ladies. In the receiving party with Mrs. Ellesor and 'her hon rees were Mesdames A. T. Brown, R. D. Wrighbt, and 0. B. Mayer. After a few minutes of pleasant social in tercourse in the.parlor the ladies were then shown into the punch room by Mesdaimes Frank Wilson and Alan Johnstone where delicious punch was served by Misses Fannie McCaughrin and Lucile Wilson. Lingering a few minutes over the punch the guests were next invited by Mesdames J. L. Bowles and J. W. Haltiwanger into the dining room and partook of the d.ainty and tempting refreshments served by Misses Jeanne Pel'ham, Florence Bowman, Martha Joihnstodne, and Mary Brooks Dennis. Mrs. Ellesor 's pretty home was ex quisitely decorated in the beautiful flowers of the season. There was just a profusion of roses everywhere. The parlor and the room in which the punch was served were in pink roses. here were roses 'banked against the mantel, and in every available place were vases or bowls filled with these beautiful flowers. T'e flowers and decorations in the dining rooms were in wihite and green. In,the center of the table was a bask-et filled wvitih lovely Easter lilies, the handle of the basket being tied with a bunch of white tulle, and 'arranged in and around the basket of white lilies was the graceful smilax, and shed over this beautiful display of flowers fell the soft light from t,he candelabras with white tapers. The afternoon was ideal and a great number of ladies called at the different hours appoint The members of the Wednesday Morning club have decided that for the present at least they will meet every two weeks instead of every weeki as heretofore. There was, there fore, no meeting this week. Mrs. Herman Wright entertained Monday afternoon in honor of Miss Bertba Stalhn. The chief feature of amusement was an auction sale. The guests bid on sundry package;s and each one got some nice little souvenmr. The refreshments consisted of a ala.d course and punch. The guests present were Mesdames W. G. Hous 1. C. IL. Cannon. J1. B. Hunter, W. . Sehenek. D. A. Tangford, Misses Carrie Pool. Jeanne Pelham. Camille vaMr Ct'rwile Burton, Daisy THE W. C. T. U. BAZAAI. The Parade a Decided Success-The Prize Winners-The Bazaar Clos es This Afternoon. The W. C. T. U. bazaar and May festival upened Wednesday afternoon with one of the prettiest parades ever seen in this city. It is generally conceded that this was the longest as well as the best. gotten up parade that has ever been seen here. Those who participated in it deservegreat .credit. The following is a description of some of the floats, automobiles, car riages, etc. The first automobile represented the Calvin Crozier Chapter, U. D. C. This automobile was most beautifully decorated in the U. D. C. colors an.d roses. In this automobile were Mrs. R. H. Wright, Misses Martha John stone, Ethel Bowers, and Lalla Rook Simmons. The second automobile represented the Drayton Rutherford Chapter, U. D. C., of which Mrs. J. A. Burton is president. In this were Mrs. A. T. Brown, Mrs. Geo. Johnstone, Miss Elizabeth Dominick, all officers of the chapter, and Mrs. R. D. Wright, State president U. D. C. This au tomobile was also exquisitely decorat ed, and the colors of the Confederacy were again floating in the balmy Southern air. The third automobile represented the civic association, of which- Mrs. L. W. Floyd is 'president. In this were Mesdames Jas. McIntosh, E. M. Evans, R. D. Smith, and W. G. Hous. eal. They rode in the white Rambler, signifying -perfect cleanliness. The Junior Civic association was in charge of the fourth automobile and this was also decorated in white, and was very pretty. Following the Civic autos came the trash cart, which was imiaculate in its white trimmings, armed with num erous brooms, .snd driven by faithful "Uncle Billy." Hon. Geo. S. Mower, son of the founder of the W. C. T. U. in New berry, and Rev. D. G. Phillips, rode in a handsome victoria, decorated in white ribbons, and drawn by pure white horses. The officers of the local chapters W. C. T. U., Mrs. J. W. White, Mrs. M. A. Carlisle, Mrs. A. J. Bowers, Mrs. W. H. Hunter, rode in a carriage dec orated in pure white and drawn by white horses. There was 'a trap occupied by two little 'boys. and two little girls, car rying the banner bearing the inscrip tion, ''Protect the home.'' Then came the L. T. L. boys carry ing the banner, ''Coming citizens of South Carolina"' The decorations here were in red, white and blue. Then came a float which attracted~ much and favorable comment. It was occupied by pretty little maidens in dainty costumes representing flow ers. They carried a banner with the inscription, ''Blossoms of the home." Following this came the boys' ca noe, Mr. J. H. Summer's beautiful ly decorated carriage, covered with white roses, bunting, etc. Then came Newberry 's mounted po 1,ice, handsome and well equipped; and also the fire department in excel len.t shape. These were two of the best features in the parade. Then came J. L. Bowles' trade dis play, which was splendid. On this float was a piano, which was played by Miss Sarah Simmons, and two of her little comipanions were in the float with her. The cotton wagon exhibit was very fine. On this float was a bale of cot ton and seated on the bale were the cotton ,buyers of the city.. The winner of one of the.prizes was the Farmers' Oil mill float, whi-eh was drawn by an ox. In this float were 25 children dressed in white, and managed .by Mr. Joh.nH. Wicker. The city fathers were also in the parade, and the mayor and 'aldermen lent dignity to the occasion. Mr. G. M. B. Epting's furniture exbibit was also splendid. The beautiful white floa.t represent ing the States was 'well gotten up. The prohibition States were repre sented -by girls dressed in white, and the little girl representing South Car.. olina was compelled to wear a dress half white and half black. There was a beautiful float drawn by Mr.. P. F. Baxter's magnificent horses. The ice wagons were indeed lovely. On their float were blocks of ice with roses and strawberries frozen inside the blocks. This was gotten up by the Farmers' Oil Mill and Ice factory. The Coca-Cola company was well represented, and made a fine display. Messrs. Shelley and Summer also had an especialiy fine float. It was very unique. It consisted of an iron bed on small wheels drawn by a pony, which was driven by little Miss Liv ina-ston. There were otther carriages in the pa:rade occupied b)y handsome ladies and lovely girls. One buggy was oe ,i e byMise Pool and Evans, which was quite pretty. One float of tha L. T. L. boys dec orated in two s1hades of purple car ried a banner with the inscription, "Which will you protect, your boys or the liquor traffic?" Of course, there were other fea tures too, that were equally as at tractive, but space does not permit of a more elaborate mention. Taking it altogether it was a decided success as a parade which was gotten up just for the benefit of a local institu tion, and which had no object other than to be generous, and the members of the W. C. T. U. are exceedingiy grateful to those who contributed so cheerfully to this part of their festi val. The bazaar is ibeing held in the court room of the old court house. Everything is exquisitely decorated, and it is really a scene of beauty. There is a fancy work booth, an apron booth, a bonnet booth, a larkin bootth, a temperance booth, a candy booth, and a country store. Ice cream and cake and candy are sold all through the day, ana dinner and sup per were served yesterday, and Ain ner iwill be served today. As stated theie are tasty decorations in every place and the ladies are having good patronage. Mr. J. L. Bowles contributed the prize for the largest trade display. his was a beautiful rocking chair, %nd was awarded to Mr. John Wick r's display. the Farmer's Oil Mill and Ice Company. Mr. W. H. Anderson donated a very pretty picture for the prttiest float, a,nd this was won by the L. T. L. Mr. J. B. Mayes contribute1 one >f 'his splendid fountain pens, which ire very excellent, and this was cap ured by the best decorated automo Jile, and now the question is whia of :he members of the U. D. C. chapter ,vill have the honor of writing with his pen, as they were the fortunate vmnners. MEMORIAL DAY. Exercises in Opera House-Dinner to Veterans and Mothers-Com mittees Appointed.
