That paper takes up a large amount of our space, and crowd out some* of the favors of our correspondents. However, it is well worth reading, and our patrons can form an idea, after perusing its columns, as to where the money goes. We believe the Board has conscientiously endeavored to do its whole duty to the people. We differ widely from it in some things, but believe, if mistakes have bern made, that they were from the head and not the heart. The Clerk of the Board has made up the Report in his usually careful manner. His intimate acquaintance with the workings of the office is a guarantee of efficient services. - ? ? ? mt A Happy Event. STATBBURG, S. C., November 20, 1884. Mr. Editor: On Tuesday night a charm? ing dance was given at the palatial mansion of Mr. H. L. Finckney, by the Stateburg Glide Club. The ball opened at nine o'clock, after a prelude of bewitching harmony from the well known band of the fair town of Sum? ter; then the lofty rooms rang with the sound of merry voices and tripping feet. Among the fairest of the fair gathered there ?were-two of Sumter's lovliest daughters who added greatly to the enjoyment of all present by their gentle grace and winning ways. The Statebnrg ladies were out in full force, but the evening was marred by the absence of one of her fairest flowers ; or, we might say a faint shadow was thrown across the other? wise brilliant and charming scene. The cos? tumes of the ladies as usual were simple but charming. *Twas a scene worthy of an artist's pencil, with the bright lights and brighter eyes, rosy cheeks and laughing lips on every side. We can hardly thank our courtly host and gentle hostess enough for their warris reception aud kind hospitality. The gav scene closed at a late hour, and on the early morning air was borne the voices of the tired but happy dancers wending their homeward wav. STATEBURG. Mayesvilie Items. MAYESVILLE, S.
