"Uncle" Vander Johnson Dead. Vander Johnson, an old-time and respected colored citizen of Kingstree, passed away Tuesday night at 12:30, after a lingering illness which caused him great suffering. "Uncle Vander," as he was generally called, was a well-known figure about town for many years. Always cheerful and energetic, despite his physical disability, his merry laugh and cheery greeting will be missed by all who knew him. He was a type of the ante-bellum slavery negro, whose ranks, like those of the Confederate veterans, are so rapidly yielding to the harvest of the Grim Reaper. According to his lights, "Uncle" Vander did his part like a true man. May he rest in peace. ? ? ? < Noted Speakers Coming.

Candies, cakes, fruits, punch and oysters were ( sold at different booths, which were very artistically arranged. Tableaux 1 representing the ?ferious periods of |( the American Girl from Pocohontas j to the modern girl were presented j by a number of the younger set. s The waitresses, Misses Geneva King, 1 Ula Kelly, Janie Johnson, Lizzie ' I Stewart and Christine Sturgeon,were ' ) dressed in the Colonial style, and ( were very picturesque, carrying out the effect of the party. A cake was * voted off and Miss Eva North having won the greatest number of votes, was presented with it by Mr Geo C Haselton.
