Notable among the recent func tions was the Blease banquet. Th< banquet was held in South Carolina no one was invited to the feast ex cept newspaper men. The toastmaster of the occasioi V/as the Newberry Herald and News -*#The table was laden with all politica 1 delicacies common to such an occa sion. The Newberry Herald and New: ___ i occupied the head of the table ant '^^'dispensed meats. At the opposite enc , of the table the venerable Laurens ville Herald took up position neai the "silly-bub" tank and coffee pot. When the guests had gathered fsi the feast the Newberry Herald anc News upspoke, inquiring of the hon ored guest, the News and Courier ' U I 1 ~*> wnai WOUIU Iltuavc; ITUV1WV >.??? News and Courier spoke for a gen erous slice of well done crow! "And what will the Daily Mai take?" asked the toastmaster. "Giv< me a small slice," said The Mail "Of what?" asked the toastmaster "Oh, make it crow," answered Th< Mail. "What will the next brother, th< Laurensville Herald, take?" cam< from the head of the table, "Turkey for mine, with oyster dressing; cut out all 'consommes' and light truck add a stoup of 'sillv-bub' with a 10 penny in it, and a cup of black cof fee." "Greenville News, what will yoi have?" "Just plain crow,please; nol too much, my appetite is rather fastidious. My medico tells me that darl meat is most agreeable to my healtl fjust now." 4 What shall I serve to the Charles ton Post?" asked the host and toast master. "Shall I make it turkey?' "Please slice for me a slice of breast of crow," was the reply; "turkey is too rich for my blood just now; J nee J something sedative and cooling for my constitution. I've been rathei feverish for a spell." ?r.e good old SpartanburgJournai md Herald, with dignity unfolding their napkins, spoke out simultaneously for crow! "Give us crow," they said, "since it is all the go, v e war.: crow! Make it plain crow with sr.iokknacks; we do n<?t often indulge,but since the company calls for crow ur appetites lean that way, too. The toastmaster and host began to look ? rious. "What will our jrood old friend T'ni record take?" he next asked. Tne Record smiled and said, "I'll luK'* ii teenc.ty WivHty piece of craw with ii turkey jrvavv. ideas anu some ?iis? s.tid tiiat iia* Record actually Slacked lis lips,which was. of c >uiso. indec ?rous.

And the host hesitated. "What is the parson's n >se?" he inquired. It was explained t > the host that it was that part of I the fowl which got over the fence last, and The State was properly I served. The host arose wit a a serious i gravity and remarked that the supply of crow was about exhausted, and asked if none would take turkey. but all the board began to bt ' J clamorous for crow, j "Is it possible," askeu the host 'j "that all this big, juicy turkey is t< 1 be left to me?

Who sang the psalm? "I," said The Enquirer, r "To the tune of 'O.Sapphira, I sang the psalm." Who was chief mourner? "Not one," cried they all, Both the large and the small Not one was chief mourner! Well, then, who tolled the bell? j * "I," said The Times, "With my anti-Blease rhymes I tolled the bell." And all the papers began to chang< their tone. When they heard the bell toll foi Featherstone. a After the feast was over the pa , pers joined hands around the board, 1 , while some members raised the tune "Should Auld Acquaintance Be For ^ got?" and at the mention of the lines, "and surely you'll be youi | pint stoup and surely I'll be mine,' x; The Journal fell in a faint and hac t , to be carried to a window.
