Annual Event Proves Most Enjoyable to Company Members and Visitors. The annual supper of the Sumter Light Infantry was given last night in the old armory hall and proved a most delightful occasion for the members of the company and for the guests in? vited to be present for the occasion. For a number of years Company L hao been giving these suppers and they are always looked forward to with a great degree of pleasure by all of those who attend them. Dr. Geo. W. pick, as usual was the toast master for the occasion, and he was never more witty or felicitous in his remarks than last night, in his talk and happy manner of presenting the speakers and calling for responses to toasts.

Brown, of the Sum? ter Light Infantry* The remarks of the speakers were most timely and made the supper a most delightful af? fair. , Members of the City Council, the legislative delegation and Super? visor Pitts were invited, but were un? able to be present. However, the speeches were not all that those present had to "fill up" on. A bountiful and well prepared supper was spread out on the table when the guests were invited into the hall and this feature of the occasion proved one that appealed to the young soldiers and their guests with equal pleasure. Capt. P, M. Brown announced that regular drills preparatory to the an-1 nual inspection, which will be held on February 4th, will begin Thursday night. He asked all members to at? tend, ?he drills and to report promptly at the hour appointed, 8 :15 p. m.
