Mr Otie Herndon of Sniders, visited oir city this week. Mr Sam Rnight, visited his parents at Harieyville Sunday. He seems to have an unusually happy smile lately, and the reason is quite plain as the home ia almost compelled and we can almost imagine we hear the echo of the wedding bells: Quite a charming and unique party was given at the home of Mrs W P Winters last Wednesday, in honor of Misses Bertha Baker and Rena Wolf. The most comical fea ture o the entertainment, was the drawing contest; the prize being awarded to Mr Clarence Singler Later the crowd repaired to the dining hall, where a sumptous sup per consisting of several courses was served. Everybody enjoyed it im mensely. Mr Thomas Black one of Colleton’s brightest and most prosperous young men, spent Friday night and Saturr r, ay in town as tbe honored guest of Miss Rena Wolfe. He seemed charmed with our beautiful country and especially Eutaw Springs, its most attractive feature. We hope to have him usit us again soon.

Caldwell, secretary- The meeting of the Walterboro local Saturday afternoon at the Court House was one of the best held so far. There was a good at tendance of members, and several visiting brethren also took part in meeting, the feature of which was the initation of seven applicants. A number cf new applications \vere received and balloted on and will be initiated at the next meeting. This local used thP first time the paraphanalia ordered sometime' ago, thus making tbe initiatory ceremony more impressive. The debate to have been held at this time had to be postponed on account of lack of time. The speakers were present, however, and “loaded,” This will be a feature of the next meeting to be held Saturday, 20. at 3 o’clock, which is an earlier than the visit’ng brothers cordial welcome. 1 am pround to know that Colleton county has some who has gone to the root of things. They have started in the right way to make a record tor him or herself long after they have been forgotten. I would like to belong to one of these Liter ary Societies ' olleton boasts of so much, hut I get my share all the same. I goto a Literary Society every Saturday night and think it is one of the best meetings for young men as well as ladies knows. It not only teaches you how to speak, but increases our knowledge in many ways. I am a member of the Poly- tecnic Literay Society. This Society has turned out several good and prosperous men and in later years they have indeed all the training jjov' thev received in this society, hour !
