In making the trip across the desert the caravan paused long enough at an oasis to enjoy an elab orate banquet, after which they went back to the hall where -there were som strange and weired proceed ings. Altair Temple No. 102, D. O. K. K., was out with its full team, and there were also gathered many D. O. K. K’.s from Greenville, Gaff ney, Clifton, Woodruff and Union to participate in the fun and enjoy the banquet. From the time the D. O. K. K’.s started up their magic sport and spec tacular parade they were supreme in the business secfion of the city. The parade started from the hall at F. L. Liles’ building, headed by the First regiment band, and th# D. O. K. K’.s with their fez’s, Zouave costumes and bright colors presented a lively pic ture as they marched through the streets. Aftre the parade the D. O. K. K’.s gathered at their hall where the real business began, the initia tion of the candidates.

A table will also be loaded with a bountiful supply of all the good things calculat ed to tempt the appetite and “tickle the palate” of the most fastidious and exacting epicure, where anyone may regale himself to his heart’s content' for a very small fee. The proceeds of the bazaar will go to the pipe-organ fund of Limestone College, and the ladies will appre ciate a large attendance and all the aid that may be given them in their worthy cause.
