The menu was good and the service tine; in fact, it was pro nounced the "nicest" banquet had In Laurens in many a day. When the plates had been cleared away and cigars lighted, Dr. IL K. Alken, master of ceremonies, proposed the toasts, live in number, scoring some witty and timely "bits" both in the toasts and the introductions.
