TB MASONIC SANQUBT. The Worshipped Master and Wardens of Amity Lodge, No. SI, A. P. M. Enter tain Their Brethren and Friends A DelightfWl Affair. One of the most delightful and pleas ant affairs in the history of Masonry in Newberry County, was the banquet in the Armory Monday night tendered to Amity Lodge, No. 87, by Worshipful Master Wm. E. Pelham, Senior, War den Geo. S. Mower and Junior Warden I. H. Hunt. Several prominent Masons through out the State had been invited, and among those present were Alessrs. W. W. Lumpkin, of Columbia, J. C. Swy gert, Master of Peak Lodge, Drs. G. F. IHunter, C. T. Wyche and Mr. R. T. C. Hunter, of Prosperity Lodge. Several letters were read from per sons throughout the State sending their regrets at not being able to be present and extending their best wishes and congratulations to the officers and mem bers of Amity Lodge. The banquet was served by the dainty hands of the fair members of the Bach elor Maids of this city, and it was a magnificent one. The large hall was prettily decorated and the long tables presented a beautiful appearance- every detail being arrayed to a nicety. The menu consisted of oysters, crack ers, celery, turkey, cranberry sauce, pickles, olives, beaten biscuit, chicken salad, nuts, fruits, coffee and cigars. Toasts were responded to by Maj. Lumkin, of Columbia, Dr. Wycho. of Prosperity, Mr. R. T. C. Hunter of St. Lukes, Mr. Jno. C. Swygert, of Peak, and Mr. E. B. Wilbur, of this city, all of which added much to the pleasure of the occasion and did much to instill more deeply into every Mason present the first essential in the Masonic creed, the spirit of love and brotherhood. The occasion will long be rerrem bered by those who had the pleasure of being one of the number as being the most pleasant affair in the history of Amity Lodge, and the Master and War den of that body are to be congratu lated on the happy manner in which they entertained their brethren, all of whom wish for them a most successful year in their Masonic duties.

The Carnival has gone and we can sigh with relief. Many a New Year resolution has al ready been broken. Yesterday was a disagreeable day. The wind was cold. A few days this week have been the coldest of the season. Mrs. D. F. Pifer has returned from her extended visit to Texas. Mr. Ernest E. Sligh has been ap pointed postmaster at Slighs. The local lodge Knights of Pythias are preparing for a banquet in the near future. Wm. F. King's New York Sensational Company will appear at the opera house tomorrow night. The County Teachers Association will meet tomorrow at 11 o'clock at the graded school building. The city schools have all been open this week and have settled down to work since the holidays. It is said that the cotton receipts at Pomaria this season will double that of any other previous year. Heavy ligt tning in the southwest Wednesday evening was an unusual sight for this time of the year. Dr. S. Pope has opened an office up stairs near Magistrate Chappell's office and will practice his profession. Mr. Frank DeVore has moved into the Purcell house on High Point, re cently occupied by Mrs. Jno. W. Norris. President A. G. Wise, of the Bank of Prosperity, in company with Mrs. Wise, is spending a few days in Baltimore. We observe from our exchanges that there are complaints from all parts of the State about bad roads right at this time. The officers of Cateechee Council, Pocahontas, I. 0. R. M., were installed by Great Sachem Hair on Tuesday night. We had a considerable sprinkle of snow in Newberry Tuesday morning. In the upper part of the State we hear it was about two inches deep. . Mr. J. Fred Schumpert, sergeant-at arms of the State Senate, has been in Columbia for the past few days ar ranging for the meeting of the Legis lature. Great Sachem J. H. Hair went to Piedmont Wednesday to install the of ficers of the Red Men's tribe at that place, also the officers of the Pocahon tas Council. He was treated to a fruit banquet. Mr. J. Fred Schumpert, of this county, who for the past few years has been sergeant-at-arms of the State Senate, will stand this year for re election, and his many friends here hope he will be successful. Great Sachem J. H. Hair was;booked for a "big blow out" with the Red Men in Columbia Tuesday night, but on account of pressing business at home could not attend. He is now sighing when he thinks of the joys he missed." "J. W." one of the large, beau tiful bay horsen bought recently by the city council for the Excelsior Fire Com pany had a congestive chill Tuesday night and Alderman Brown had to work with him for some time. He is all right now, however. Mr. W. G. Peterson, voluntary weather observer for the government; states in his report this week that it has not rained on the 6th (lay of Octo ber or the 6th day of December within the past 16 years, and that these are the only days during that period on which it did not rain. Entertainment at Opera House. Win. F. King's New York Sensa tional company, f'eaturing the famous motor cycle whirl or "suicide act," will appear in the opera house, this city, to morrow night. The performance will consist of music, trapeze artists, acro bats and dancing, also including, the 20th century sensation "the eruption of Mt. Pelee," and other subjects pro duced by electricity. This will be a first class attraction, not an objectiona ble feature being allowed. In our opinion, the motor cycle whirl is a more daring feat than the much taiked of "loop-the-loop." It is simply remarka ble, and should be witnessed by every body. Popular prices will prevail. Make Your Tax Returns. Auditor Cromer is now at his office in Newberry, andi will be there until the 15th instant, for the purpose of making out tax returns. After that (late he will make his usual tour of the county, meeting his appointments as statedl in the advertisement elsewhere in this p)aper. It would be well for everybody that possibly can to attendl to this matter at once and get it ofi' their hands. Charged With Stealing Watches. Harrison Swittenberg, colored, was arrestedl Wednesday night by the city police on a charge of stealing six watches from Ithe store of Shely & Den He was brought before the mayor who transferred the case to Magistrade Chappell, as the value of the watches were placed at $30, Itaking it out of the jurisdiction of the mayor. Magistrate Chappell bound Swittenberg over to the circuit court. Fine Enough For Wedding Cake. Or any other cake-and still the best flour for bread, biscuit and everything else.

PBRMAINBNT IMPR~OVBMBNTS. The Streets and Sidewalks to be Put in Good Condition. The City Council at its meeting Weds. nesday night took steps looking toward paving the sidewalks on Main street and macademizing the principal streets of the city. At this meeting the condition of the streets was discussed at considerable length, and it was the unanimous sen timent of the members of the council that something must be done and done at once. The Ways and Means Committee will take the matter up at once and as soon as arrangements can be made and esti mates obtained, work will be com menced. Owing to the putting down of sewer age the streets are in a worse condition than for twelve or fifteen years past, and the council is determined to have good streets. Parties who are familiar with the work of putting down cement walks and paving streets are being corre sponded with and datta is being gath ered preparatory to having the work done.

It is said that the public square in Anderson is hub deep in mud andl that a prominet citizen of that towvn dIream ed the other night that the city author ties had p)oured kerosine oil over it and burned it dry. This might be taken as a hint to Newberry, as some of the streets hav'e plenty of mud, and as oil has been recommended to keep the (lust down~ in summer--it might wvork two ways. Who knows?
