THE LADIES ENTERTAINED, [ll
A Convincing Illustration of
the Goodness, Purity and
Nutritive Value of the Prod- pi
ucts of The National Biscuit 80
Company, Some of the q!
finest Baking in the World. "
The crowds of ladies who attended [u
the reception given by the National
Biscuit Company at K. of I*. Hall "l
Wednesday afternoou, March loth, us
were most agreeably surprised at the cq
lavish preparation that had been made
for their entertainment. It would ?
seem that everything that could add ^
to the comfort and pleasure of the nr
guests had been anticipated and pro- Brj
vided for. The hall had been superb
ly decorated for the occasion, special .
material having been sent from New W'
York for the purpose, and arranged by it
a corps of decorators, who accompany m
the reception committee. Daintily ?
served refreshments included many of
the delicious products of the National m
Biscuit Company, served direct from
their packages, which, by excluding ro
all air, dust and moisture, so effectually
preserve the purity and goodness
c* their contents. Among them were
Uneeda Biscuit, Oysterettes, Butter stl
Thin Biscuit, Graham Crackers, Social m
Tea Biscuit, Zu Zu Ginger Snaps and .
others.
The reception was a striking lesson rt'1
to the guests in one respect. It thor- cl<
oughly exploded the iaea of buying a ^
biscuit, crackers, and wafers from an
open box or barrel, and having them .
delivered, more or less mutilated, in a
paper bag. it is explained that no th
matter how perfect a biscuit may f01
come from the oven, it loses its freshness,
by exposure to the air. even for
an hour. Only by giving it the pro- th
toction of a package which excludes an
all air, dust and moisture, can the
original goodness, crispness and puri- .*
ty of the biscuit be retained. *y'
The reception was also an illustra- th
tion of the wide range of adaptability dr
of the products of the National Hiscuit
Company. For any requirement rpt
from the oysters to dessert, there is
always a biscuit, cracker or wafer to ni
suit, and best of all, they can bo pur- to
chased any time, anywhere, and are cr
always fresh. In the purchase of .
these products the trade mark of the
National Biscuit Company on each end
of the package is always an absolute sit
assurance that the contents are not ^
only the very pcry perfection of the .
baker's art, but that they are always
fiure, always good, and have had absoute
protection from dust, moisture fo
and handling from the time they left ^
the oven until they reached the consumer's
hands.
Nabisco Sugar Wafers and Festino CC
Almonds were also served. These are us
two confections of such unrivaled del- fa
ioacy and delioiousness as to virtually
form a class by themselves.
Taken altogether the reception was Hi
a pronounced success, and as the
[;ucsts departed expressions were ^
lenrti, indicating that they liad received
not only pleasant entertainment
but profitable information as well, til

Street Improvements. ' J?
The city council is now making ^
some very great improvements on w
Main street. It is their purpose to ^
place asphalt pavements on both ftl
sides of the street all the way down
east and the property owners have ^
l>een asked to set their front fences n]
back al>out 4 feet, this will give a ^
nice wide pavement and several feet
to widen Main street and-add very n
much to the appearance to that
part of the city. As soon as this
arrangement can l>e made, Main
street will be macadamized. The
purpose is to do permanent work
therefore all sewer and water pipes ai
should be placed so as not to be iu tl
the way of a permanent macadam pi
street. Of course this will take fr
some time and money, but in the so
mean time the other streets of the tl
ci{y should not be entirely neglected. fii
Death of Mr, A. Coleman ai
CI
After ap illpess of more than a oc
week Mr, A. Coleman levies died at w
his home near Carlisle Monday se
night, 27th inst., at 9 o'clock, ai
Mr. Lyles was a native of Fairfield gt
County, hut has been a citizen of ai
Union County for more than thirty B
years. In 1875 he married Mrs. w
Willy, daughter of Mr. William w<
Smith. He is survived hy widow h<
and two children. Mr. Lyles has \\
engaged in farming since he he- re
came a Union County citizen. He m
was always prominent in ovcry si>
movement to benefit the agricultu- h<
ral interest of the country. He oc- If
cupied the position of financial ai
agent of the County Alliance and tl:
afterwards identified himself promi- N
nently with the reform movement
under the Tillman administration.
He was elected to the legislature in
1898, 1900 and 1902, and served
his county faithfully and efficiently er
in this capacity. At the time of ft
his death he was president of the m
Union County branch of tho South- ^
em Cotton Growers Association and
was filling this position with markod ^
ability as ho had done in all of his p,
former positions of trust imposed h,
upon and entrusted to his keeping
by his constituents. The funeral
services and interment were at Santuc
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
A good and useful citizen has gone P
from our midst and we deplore the ai
loss and sympathize with the bereaved
family.
