was given on Friday afternoon at
the: home of Mr. and Mrs. John S.

hostess, and Miss Fallen Hull, of
Chdraw, an honor guest. The joy
ous Yi/letide season' vyas typified in
the decorations of the rooms and
hail where the shining greens of
holly, mistletoe and crimson bells
made a color harmony at once, pleas
ing and appropriate. Tables were
arranged and the place cards were
hand-painted tea cups on white card
board, each cup contained a verse
that portrayed the future of a
pretty maid. For instance the one
who got the loving cup, bound
around with little cupids, had the
following future predicted for her
by the Witch of the afternoon:
"Within your dainty cup of tea
Home pictures are the ones 1 see.
You'll share your husband's fads
and* fancies;
I?"or you will bo his fondest glances.
And best of all things here below, ?
You'll live in a quaint bungalow."
After cards the hostess served a
.salad course with hot tea.

their enemy even if tiie British did
outnumber them. In the center of
the Hwanip wan Snow Island, Ma
rlon'B camp whore he kept his sup
plIoB. The men of this company
suffered many hardships. For in
stance, once when a British officer
came up to Marion'B camp, ho was
invited to dine with tho American's.
When the Red Coat saw that they
had only roasted Bweet potatoes he
went to 1Mb commander and resign

that men who could stand hardships
so cheerfully could never lie beaten.
Thomas Sumter was born in 1736,
in Hanover county, Va. He moved
to South Carolina when a youin
man. He wasfilledwith anger at th
outrages committed by Tarleton and
Ills men. He went to Governor Rut
ledge and offered Ills services, wh(
gladly put him at the head of n
few small companies commanded by
Thomas, Lacey, Bratton and others.
Sumter was very rash in his attacks,
"'but he often gained what a cau
tious man would not have attempt
ed." It was the mode in which he
attacked that caused Tarleton t
nickname him "the Gamecock ol
South Carolina." Cornwallis call
ed him "'the greatest plague of the.
British," because he was always
coming upon them at unexpected
times. An important battle which
Sumter won. was Blackstock. He
routed the British and captured
their horses and supplies.
Pickens was born in 1739 in Pax
ton count'y. Pa. He lived in a par*,
of South Carolina where there wa.
not. much fighting going on. He had
taken an oath in favor of the Brit
ish but when they came to his
house and stole everything he had
lie joined the Rebel side. Pickens
dre\/ up a small company and rout
od the Red Coats many times. Tar
leton attacked Pickens and Morgai
at Cowpens. These lenders told
their men not to fire on the enemy
until they were closo and to aim at
the epauletted men. Tarleton rush
ed on them cconfident of victory,
but was surprised to see the cool
courage of the Americans. The
men took good aim and killed ma
ny officers. Cowpens was a great
victory for the Americans.
These three great leaders served
faithfully during the Revolution
without any pay. They left home
and family to fight for their liberty.
They always mot danger with cour
age but never rushed headlong Into
it. j * '?

These leaders richly deserve the
beautiful monument that has been
given them by the Daughters of the
Revolution.
