to keep alive in the memory of

too was not forgotten and two of
the men most in the public eye
were so represented, Mr. W. W.

pitchfork, while the part of the
nation's chief was taken by Mr.

showed great skill in carrying it
through in all its details. It was
a real treat and she is deserving
of great praise for favoring the
people of Winnsboro with such
an interesting production.
THE CAKE WALK.
The great attraction Friday
evening was the cake walk, which
had been especially arranged for
by Mrs. DesPortes. When the
sale of tickets for this great pro
cession was over, there were
formed in a large circle about a
hundred men, women and chil
dren, each one of whom was
buoyant with the hope of winning
one of the three lovely cakes that
were to be awarded, These cakes
were to go to the three fortunate
ones having the flags when the
eake walk should be called to a
halt. These three flags were
given to the three lieutenauts
within the eircle, who kept ther
passing up and down the line.
After ten minutes of marching
the music ceased. The flgs were
then in the h ands of Mefssrs.
C. W. MeCauts, Fay DesPortes
and Arnold Pixley, who claimed
the prizes that had been won.
And thus was ended a most en
joyable feature of the Kirmess.
JAPANESE BOOTH.
There could be no Japanese
bootih with'gut lots of brilliant
display and baautifui oanamenta
tions. These essentials to a true
representation of the Japs was
fully met in the Japanese booth,
which elicited much praise. This
booth occupied a prominent place
and was enough larger than the
other booths to make it attract
special attention. But there was
quality as well as quantity and
1!1is was the feature that counted

All the fram~e work was most fit-}

colors of red and whito. Here

even Huyler wonder, if he is still
holding his own in the making of
tempting chocolates and bon-bons,

hands that made these delicious
delicacies. But when two young
ladies, who know the charms of
entertaining as well as the secret
of making candy that goes like
