Christinas Hop. ;> The Citadel, Charleston, Dec. 22.? &. Perhaps the most delightful social event of the season was the annual Christmas 1 ? ^ hop given by the corps of cadets of the , iT;.' South Carolina Military Academy at the ' German Artillery hall last Friday evenY.. ing. Promptly at 9.30 o'clock the danc- ! % *. ing begun and"was continued until about 1 'V;' 2.45. The music was furnished by the Artillery Corps Band and was excellent. J Prom 9.30 until 12 there was a card ' dance, after which during an intermission of thirty minutes, was served cream, cake, *-Vchocolate and coffee. After the short ' intermission, the general dancing began ' and continued until the close of the hop. -1 The hall was beautifully decorated with 1 v- our cpUege colors?sky blue and white? 1 national and State flags. The chandeliers ( Esp * were artistically draped* with the cadet 1 flag, while the band stand was almost an in nolmc onH itthor trrtnu?ol I 1 IUUUVU AAA ^/WIUAKT UUU VVUVA UAV^/AVUA | On the rostrum were stacks of arms along , with military emblems?all making a * beautiful show. The floor was excellent- r }y polished and made the dancing very ( enjoyable. The hop was well attended, there being about seventy-five couples on the floor, s besides the many visitors and chaperons. : / Several cadets "of the Porter Military Academy attended. Lieut. Tillman U. S. A. stopped over on his way from San fc.' Francisco to Washington and was welcomed by the cadets. Col. Coward, Maj. Coleman, Capt. McMaster and Lieut. Tillman were in the dress uniforms and added a charm to the scene. The cadets were out in full strength and along with those of the P. M.. A. presented a fine appearance. The forty invited citizens seemed to have enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. The costumes of the young ladies were magnificent and presented a beautiful contrast to the officers' blue and gold, the cadet gray, and the citizen's black. ?The belle of the evening was Miss Virginia Green, who was handsomely attired in an exquisite imported gown of white crepe de chene over white taffeta, trimmings of renaissance lace, ornaments pearls, white carnations. Miss Helen Heyward was indeed a dream in tulle over nile green taffeta, ornaments diamonds, white carnations. Miss Hattie Lucas was bewitching in a dainty costume of white lousine silk, ornaments diamonds, American Beauty roses.

He is progressive in all p things, and always makes very fine crops, g Pursuing his Profession. a A Brooklyn magistrate recently had tl four darkies who were caught in a gamb- o ling raid before him. The first of the lot to be brought to the bar was an under- b sized man, with a comical face, as black as night. The dialogue between the magistrate and the prisoner created some merriment in the court. b "What is your name?" inquired the v magistrate sternly. It "Mali name's. Sniiff," replied the darky. S "What is your profession ?" ti "I'ze a locksmiff by trade, sah." tl "What were you doing when the police ? broke into the room last night ?" ii "Judge, I was pursuin'mah profession, a I was makin' a bolt for de door."

Munroe read one of the excellent Lutheran marriage services in his clear and impressive style, and two of the most popular and influential of the young people of Ehrhardt were uuited in holy wedlock. Everything that could have been done was done to make the affair a success and the solemnity of the occasion was unmarred by any of the unpleasantries common to country weddings. A supper was given at the hospitable home of the bride's parents for the bridal party and a few friends and relatives. The table was beautifully decorated with ferns, palms, flowers, and pyramids of fruit. The happy couple left the next morning for Atlanta. Prof. T. D. Jones and family, of Bishop- j ville, are spending the holidays with! relatives near Ehrhardt. Mr. J. C. Kinard is laid up with a spell of fever. Ehrhardt Literary Society met at Mr. J. A. Chassereau's last Friday evening. It was well attended and an interesting program was rendered. The question, "Resolved, that the Dispensary is a better solution of the Liquor^problem than Prohibition," was ably discussed by Prof. E. P. Copeland and Prof. Francis Folk on the affirmative and Messrs. G. B. Kinard and A. C. Reynolds on the negative. The discussion was rendered in favor of the negative, after which a general debate took place, in which Mr. J. A. Chassereau made a strong speech in favor of Prohibition. The next meeting will be at Mr. Henry Ehrhardt's on Friday evening, January 2nd. Among those that are home for the Christmas holidays are: Joe and Bert Dannelly, Conrad Hartz.and Archie Ehrhardt.

Mr. Editor, I noticed in your paper ast week a piece from "La-accoon" which seemed to say that we don't need a road rrom Hunter s Chapel to Bamberg, and hat our roads are generally good, also saying that I scored my fellow-citizens 'or being "luke warm;"- in my ignorance; tlso mentioning inventions that are beng made. Most people that read about ,hese pass on them as I have, and I would lot mention how I have marked them. 1 am aware of what is going on around ne* I saw the mail man on his first trip >n our daily route and mentioned in my liece that we have such. We are not in Rural Town; we are just on the Rural oute which- passes through Hartzog. We might call this Rural street and pass t by this way. I did not give any one n our neighborhood credit for getting his route up, as it was in my mind that ve did nothing but sign a petition that some one else carried around, and if it nust be put to some one's credit, let's give t to some one that deserves it, a man vho is not of our wonderful "Rural rown." I did not score my fellowtownsmen for >eing "luke-warm" and below par in latriotism in the good roads movement, >ut just asked if some one would take a land in this move while the iron was hot. kly dear "La-accoon" said that we have ;ood roads?yes we have good roads and >ur citizens must not be blamed in such ; way, but our good roads are good be ause we never near mem say anyming ?ad and they are full of mud puddles, and beds, bad bridges, rough roots, and fash nuts. All of these go to make a oad bath Yet we don't need a direct oad from Hunters C^pel to Bamberg. Yhen we start to Bamberg we go one vay a while and then another, go through >ne mud hole and around one, through : me sand-bed and across one, and after a ong time we get to Bamberg almost too irid U> know how to do when we get to j own. . Our neighborhood roads are in travel- . ug order, but could be made better if our ;ood people would work on them some, ' ut our public roads are in very bad fix | ud we need these worked, "or throw hese away and make more that some 1 ue will be willing to work.

[From The Columbia State.J "The prevailing high prices of mules pu/.zie the purchasers who do not keep up with the market," said a Columbia dealer a few days ago. "Our customers do not understand why the price should be up, now that the Boer war is over, but the fact is that there is still a demand from South Africa for American mules. The Boers are now buying them, as the British were a fewgmouths ago." This statement is substantiated by a newspaper dispatch from Kansas City, which is the great centre of the mule trade. It states that when the Boer war ended and peace was declared, the Kansas City mule dealers thought they had sold their last mules in South Africa. They did not expect to see more British gold, except what the Indian government might leave until King Edward's government got into new troubles. But they have been agreeably surprised. The Boers are now buying mules. . During the three years that Great Britian was buying mules and shipping them to South Africa for war purposes the .Boers were not asleep. Occasionally they would stampede the mules of a provision train and it not infrequently happened that the train, as well as mules, fell into Boer hands. But for the habit the Boers had of taking the | British mules the market in Kansas City I would not have been so lively as it was. It is said that at one time there were as many Missouri mules in the hands of the Boers as the British had, though it was the British who had paid for them. The Boers found the Missouri mule a good animal to deal with. He was sure footed, faithful, reliable enough when duly watched, a little obstinate, but tough as iron, and a ready feeder on supplies that a horse would starve on. He made his own way in the world and built up his own reputation, having gone into a new country, with money to vouch for him and under circumstances that were not calculated to make him popular. The Boers liked the Missouri mule. The British government will give the Boers $15,000,000 with which to stock their farms. Now that there is no longer any chance to get mules by the old method they want to buy them. Accordingly a Boer speculator who had money came to the United States to buy things for his countrymen. In New York he found a Yankee with the trading instinct well developed, and one of the first things decided to do was to send a ship load of mules to the Transvaal. The Boer member of the firm wanted to get them where the British had bought theirs, so they would be sure of getting the same kind of mules. Accordingly, he went to Kansas City and recently bought 1,000 mules. They were persuaded to take better mules than the British bought at somewhat higher prices. The mules have been sent south, preparatory to shipment. "So we are still getting British gold," said the seller of this lot. "It always | looked good to us, and we were glad of another chance to send mules to South A frino Qtill tliii moririif cAiitli ic xxil iVHi> kjiiii uiiv iimiavv owuw&A IO ^VW?. We refused $170 a head for a bunch of 350 mules this week. "The cotton trade will open up in a few weeks, and then mule dealers will be busy all the time. We are getting ready for a big business at home, but if the Boers want any more of our mules we will sell them." The mule is a product of southern Europe and is not well known in the north. The Boers did not know much about them until the war with the British. A Timely Suggestion. This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as ( the cold is contracted and before it has 1 become settled in the system.
