After tins sumptuouB feast, Mr. G. W.
Pratt, ?8 toastmaster, tn a fow well
chosen roniarks, nnnouiiced the toast,
"Our Guests." Tills wa J responded to
by J. W. Sholor, Esq., who wolcoinod
tho guests from abroad and thoso from
our midst niOBt lioartily, both ns nu indi
vidual and in tho mm e of tiio Lodgo.
"Fylliiimisin" wau responded to by
Mr. C. M. Niold in a lew well-timed re
marks. Ho spoke of thc grand purpose
and work of th o Order, ita growth and
influence in tho past, und its growing
prospects for tho fut ure. In closing ho
took ocensiou to say : "I doom it ono of
tho grandest privileges of my lifo to
numbor mysolf among tho members of
tliis groat Order."
"Our Flag" wns gracefully eulogized
by Mr. D. J. Auld, of Sumtor. Ho
caught tho at tent ion of his uoarors at
onco by his wit and pretty compliments
to tho ladlee. Though ho had. from
18(10 to 1805, fought under tho grand
standard of tho Confederacy, tho "Stars
and liars," and little thought thou of
oven being called upon to eulogize tho
"Stars and Stripes," ho was glad to
stand boforo a gathering of loyal Ameri
cans and praise "Old G'ory," and ho
considered it a privilege to eulogize our
ling, ho would think it un honor, woro
lt necessary, to Bhed II?B blood in defeneo
of it and tho principles it represents.
Ho conoludod ids remarks with tho
couplet:
"Tho Star-spangled Halinor, long may it
wavo
O'er tho land of tho freo and homo of
tho bravo."
"Masonry" was responded to by Ex
Mayor H. A. II. Gibson. Ho spoko of
tho great and noble work of this tho
oldest of all Orders-tho fountain from
which had sprung so many younger, but
no less grand and useful organizations.
"Tho Endowment Hank" was respond
ed to by Mr. Wni. Goldsmith, of Green
ville, who gave a thorough resumo of tho
bonollt.s of this branch of tho Pythian
Order. His remarks woro torso and to
tho point. Ho is fully posted on nil
branches of tho Order, and his manner
of presenting facts and figures is pleas
ing and instructivo.
Mr. Pratt found "a handsome young
man" in tho person of Dr. G. A. Ncuffor,
of Abbovillc, to whom bo assigned tho
toast "Gcorgo Washington." Ho re
sponded to tho call in a timely exhorta
tion to young men to follow closely thc
example of this groat soldier, patriot and
statesman.
"Tho host," said Mr. Pratt, "is always
reserved for the inst," and ho proposed
tho toast "Woman." Dr. A. J. S.
Thomas, of Greenville, responded. This
was tho oldest of toasts, ho said, yet al
ways now. Ho spoko at somo length,
giving good counsel and advico to all to
respect above all oise on earth tho ofllcos
of woman-mother, sister, wifo and
daughter, Tho grandeur and sublimity
of tho ofliccB of motherhood and sonship
wore shown by Christ on tho cross,
when Ho said to Mary, "Woman, behold
thy Son," and to that discipio whom Ho
loved, "Behold thy mother."
At tho clofio of Mr. Thomas's remarks
Mr. Goldsmith proposed that all Knights
join him in a toast to Rathbone, tito
founder of the Order. Thus was brought
to a OIOBO ono of tho most onjoyablo oc
casions it lias been our plcnsuro to at
tond, and ono that will long bo remem
bered.

isn't altogether a quostion of beauty.
It's largely a tnattor of health. Tho
bloom and glow of health go far toward
bringing beauty. A cl oar skin, bright

bodily good fooling brings, will mako
ovon a homely woman h.uulsomo.
Half of tho women ono meets aro aornl
invalids. Failure to hoed tho warnings
of outraged nature--failure to givo tho
help needed by tho most dolicato and
