A SUMPTUOUS BANQUET. The Young Men ef tiufTuejr Do Honor to the 1’upilH hihI Teacher* of the College I.luieHtone an Ideal Spot and Everyone Delighted. The most delightful, as well as the “awellest," event In which the young men of GafTney have partici pated in many a day, waa the recep tion Wednesday evening at Lime stone College, given by the gentle men members of the city’s “Four Hundred” to the young ladies and teachers of the college. Limestone is an ideal place for such gatherings, and never ha\e the elegant parlors, the handsome recep tion rooms and the spacious halls of the grand old building presented such a soul-inspiring scene, nor one of more bewitching beauty and lone liness, than the one which enlivened them Wednesday evening. Lovely women wore their sweetest smiles and assumed their most enchanting graces, and handsome men vied with one another in entertaining their fair partners; wit “Hashed from fluent lips;” cares floated away in brightest ripples of heartiest laughter, and countenances beamed and sparkled with the radiant tintings of happi ness and innocent merriment. All was intensely gay and delightfully pleasing, and everything, both animate and inanimate, conspired to form a scene which would have woven a magic charm around the heart of a stoic. The ladies greatly outnumbered the gentlemen, and the problem before the reception com mittee was to divide fifty boys among a hundred girls and arrange it so that every girl would have a partner. How this was done, we shall not attempt to say; but it is an assured fact that it was accomplished in the nicest way possible. About ten o’clock it was an nounced to the gay assemblage that the banquet was ready and awaiting their pleasure in the dining hall bo- low. Need we add that they re sponded to that call? The banquet hall presented a scene of lovt Loess that only a poe 's fancy could conceive and an artist’s pencil portray. Rich evergreens hung upon the walls and encircled the windows, while all around and overhead the college colors of white and gold were displayed in rich pro fusion. Twenty-two tables were ar rayed in spotless linen, while dainty Japanese napkms protruded from crystal glasses on every table. Straw berries, ripe and red, were there from sunny Florila; frozen dainties from Georgia's capital; delicious bananas that spoke of a “land where palm trees wave and myrtles bloom and the ocean sleeps on coral strands,” and big luscious oranges from the sweet-scented groves of the far South—all giving to the scene a tropical appearance. Nearly every delicacy that the most fastidious ap petite could crave was there in abundance. After “justice” bad been done to this gorgeous array of sweet viands one and all returned to the parlors and reception rooms where they indulged in social com munion until 11:30 o’clock. At that hour the young men bade their fair guests a very reluctant adieu, all feeling better and purer for those sweet moments of exultation when souls communed with their fellow angels and rejoiced in their heavenly powers. The young men from a distance who attended were: Robert Lip scomb, of Spartanburg; Louis R. Hagood, of Kings Mountain, N. C.; and Latta Parish, of Yorkville. Those from the city were: Wofford Humph ries, Walter Humphries, D. C. Ross, Maynard Smyth, J. B. Simpson, J. R. Osborne, Victor Gaffney, R. Fur man Twitty, Charley Humphries, Floyd Baker, J. A. Sarratt, W. J. Sarratt, H. P. Duff, J. H. Crews, R. M. Munro, Rochelle Rogers, Henry Phillips, J. F. Carson, W. O. John son, T. B. Clarkson, D. B. Anderson, A? C. Pridmore, R. S. Sparks, Louis Wood, J. H. Beard, Isbam Richard son, Joe McArthur, Sam Fort, O. P. Richardson, W. G. Hollis, Howard Gaffney, Harry Byars, Dr. C. A. Jeff eries, Tank McArthur, Sam Clary, J, Eb. Jefferies, Dr. S. G. Sarratt, Charlie Hames, John Snead, Dr. C. T. Lipscomb, Jones J. Darby, Claude McArthur, Ed Byars, W. Harry Do- denhoff, Ed McArthur and J. C. Do- denhoff. The reception was given entirely to the students and teachers of Lime stone College and no other ladies at tended. The college honored the young men of Gaffney with some thing of a like nature not very long ago, and the affair of Wednesday evening was somewhat in the nature of a “return compliment.” It was a grand success in every feature, and the young men who had it in charge are elated over their work and its truly delightful results. These same young men are contem plating tendering a reception to the young ladies of the city at an early date, and we hope It may be as suc cessfully oarried out as the one of Wednesday evening at Limestone College.

The last big show of the season— that is, the last show that the man agers of the opera house have booked —will be at the opera house tomor row night, when Barlow Sc Wilson’s Greater New York Minstrels will en tertain the amusement loving pub lic. There are few better shows than a good minstrel, and this show has the reputation of being a good one, so those who attend may expect a good time. We have seen no original press notices of the show this season, but if the owners of the show thii| year have kept it up to the high standard that has heretofore charac terized it the people may rent assured that it is one of the best on the road. It would be well to bear in mind, however, that the owners of the show are not the famous Mill Barlow and George Wilson that made the show of that name so well and fa vorably known, but the owners are Lawrence Barlow and Fred Wilson, and they are said to be two clever comedians and have a combination of artists with them that are hard to beat. Owing to the fact that this will be the last big show the prices have been made the lowest that a first-class organization will play at, 25, 35 and 50 cents. On account of it being Saturday night the curtain will not go up before 9 o’clock. Se cure seats in advance at A. B. Gaines’ furniture store and avoid the rush at the box office at night. Children, accompanied by their parents, will be allowed to occupy reserved seats at the usual price charged children, 25c, provided the seats are bought in advance. The Khoriit Royal Circuit. The Rhoda Royal circus will ex hibit here one day next week, what day it has not yet been definitely de cided, but it is more than likely that Monday will be the day. This is said to be an exceedingly clean show, there being nothing offensive about it. This circus does not carry a men agerie, but their troop of actors and trained animals have the reputation of being among the best. 01(1 Maid's Convention. The Old Maid’s Convention, to be given by the ladies of the First Bap tist church, the proceeds of which is to go to the liquidating of the indebt edness on the heating apparatus, will take place at the opera house Tuesday night unless something un foreseen transpires to prevent it. These conventions are said to be ex tremely funny and no doubt this one will furnish a good deal of amuse ment for those who attend. Mr. O. LeKoreiit Wood. On April 11th Mr. G LeForest Wood, delineator of character and dialect reader, will appear at the op era house. Mr. Wood comes with the finest testimonials from press and pulpit, and as there has been no entertainment of this character here this season he should be greeted by a large audience. The Atlanta Con stitution says of Mr. Wood: “At the First Christian church of this city last Tuesday evening, for the benefit of the local union of the Y. P. S. C. E. societies of this city. Professor G. LeForest Wood gave a very delightful entertainment to a large and cultured audience. Pro fessor Wood has a rare talent and his entertainment entitled “A Laugh and a Tear,” is well named. His pleasantries brought forth rounds of applause and bursts of laughter. His pathetic and dramatic renderings were very touching and hushed the house into the deepest silence. Alto gether the entertainment was a great success. The proceeds go to pay the expenses of the coming state En deavor convention, which is to meet here in April.

WILBUR RESIGNS. He Will He Snreeeded by H. I., Cutting, a I'ormer Superintendent Here. Several weeks ago it became wliis- oered about that Mr. E. B, Wilbur has tendered his resignation as su perintendent to the GafTney Manu facturing Company. When ap proached on the subject by a Ledger representative Mr. Wilbur acknowl edged that it was a fact but did not desire that mention should be made of it at that time. However, Mr. Wilbur’s resignation is in the hands of the official of the company and will go into effect about the 16th of April. Mr. Wilbur came to GafTney about eighteen months ago from Newberry. When fie left Newberry the people wore made sad, becau-'e he had made many warm friends while there. When he leaves GafT ney he will leave an aching void, for in the eighteen months he has been here he has made 'many friend?. Mr. Wilbur resigns because of h s health. His relations with the peo ple of this place and the officials of the mill have been extremely pleas ant but the constant strain of tba work has been telling on his health lately and he has decided to take a rest. Mr. Wilbur is to be succeeded by Mr. 8. L. Cutting, formerly of this place but now connected with the Cawthon Mills at Selma, Ala. Those who remember Mr. Cutting will be delighted to know he is to return. He is a pleasant, wholesouled gen tleman, is well qualified for the po sition, and is a good man to have in the community. We regret to part with Mr. Wilbur and wish him a speedy return of his health and pros perity wherever he may go, and we extend a warm welcome to Mr. Cut ting on his return and hope it may be a long time before he will leave us again.

A banker whose hobby was wearing good clothes Got a shock one day, as though struck by a stone, When he found that one of his humblest clerks Was wearing a suit like his own. Now the banker had paid $40.00 more, And it mortified him and made him feel sore, •That a clerk who was thrifty could huy for eight-fifty A suit like his own at our store.
