The ladies of the Episcopal Churoh will give at five o'clock tomorrow af ternoon a Baby Show on the lawn in front of the Gar'.ington place on North Harper, adjoining tho residence of Dr. R. E. Hughe?. All the parents in tbe city have been most kind in allow ing their children to further the suc cess of the enterprise and more than a hundred ranging in age from a very few months to six years havo been entered. Tho committee did their utmost fo call at every house in town where there were children of the right age but It is quite possiblo that some have been overlooked and it is hoped that it will be understood that all the ohildren in Laurens under six years of age are cordially Invited to take part in the Baby Show, whether or no** the Mothers have been seen in person by members of the committee. When the children arrive at the gate tliey will be taken in charge by com mittees and assigned to sections ac cording to age. They will all be num bered and known by their numbors not by their names. It is hoped that the ohildren will come promptly In order that their part of tbe program may becirried out before they grow tired. If It should rain the show will be postponed until the noxt afternoon at the same hour. t?Four prizes will be given as follows : To boys and girls under fourteen months, to girls and boys from fourteen months to threo years of age, to boys from tbre* years of age to six, to girla from three years to six. The judges will consist of one lady and two gontlemen, three individuals who will be entirely disinterested and as far as possible unacquainted with the children of the community. Refreshments, ice cream, sherbet, strawberries and oakes will be sold on the grounds. There will be a band of music play ing in the summer house for the en tertainment of the crowd. The admission fee will be ten cents at the gate for everybody, grown up people and children. The ohildren with their nurses, who are a part of the entertainment, will go in free of charge. The proceeds will go towards paying off tbe debt on tho parsonage, whioh tho Episcopalians have recently built adjoining their Church on Main street. Everybody is invited to come to the show. There is no question but that the children will be well worth seeing. A Baby Show has never been given here before and very few people know how many Irroslstiblo little tots the town contains so they wlil do well to take this opportunity to mbke the ac quaintance of the mo?t important in habitants of this or any other town, the children.
