Tho people of Conway were surprised when they arose from their beds last Thursday morning to find tho town clothed in a mantle of White.

The oyster srpper given by the Knights of Honor at the lodge ' rooms last Thursday evening was a V sn T-AsiQ in every wav. Noted s-peakers bad been invited to attend x and make addresses in response to toasts, but unluckily they did not come. Nevertheless there was plen ty of local talent preseut to make the speeches, and they were made with eloquence and wit. Paul Quattlebaum acted as toastin istor. He first introduced Ool. C. P. Quattlebaum who responded to the toast "Our Order." He gave the history of the lodge, and many interesting facts were related by him, and among other things he read a list of the charter members of the lodge, only one or two of whom are still in the order. Rev A. S. Doak made rospouse to the toast "Our Church" and he handied his subject well, lie was followed by Hon. H. L. Buck in response to "Our State." He paid an eloquent tribute to the Slate wo all love. Hon R B Scarborough's subject was 'The Nation." He handled this in his usual fluent and eloquent style. Last on the program was Col. T. Larry Gantt, who responded to the toast "Woman." His address was full of wit and pleased his hearers. The committee on arrangements deserve praise for the nice way in which the affair was managed. Tab les were sot for nearly a hundred, and perhaps that number were in * 1 nmlrtw ??s in a tlnnr y (lllUnUUliCUi x lie wiuci 10 hi u uvui jshing condition as was shown, and jt is still growing.
