Quite a corwd was present, being largely composed of friends from towns and the adjoining sections, whose liberal ity on this occasion is highly appre ciated by the people of our commu nity. The beautifully decorated boxes came in numbers, and by 8 o'clock a huge many-colored pyramid was formed on a table on the ros trum, and we feel quite sure that the rich interior of each box (with but one exception) measured up fully to the expectation suggested by the beautiful exterior. Although no pro gram had been arranged for the au dience ot lier't ban the auction of the boxes, the audience. Immediately be fore the sale opened we,re delight fully entertained by tho 'recitations "The Sale of Old Bachelors," hy Miss Annie Hu trek in, and "That Old Sweetheart of Mine," by Miss Suanee Daly, of Seneca. At 8 o'clock S. M. Shanklin In his own inimitable, witty and jocular style, began lo auction ? the boxes. Misses Sallie Davis and Dana Cleveland were selected as trea surer and collector, Hie latter acting, In the capacity of both deliverer and j collector. Every box brought its full value, the proceeds amounting to $3(j.t>0. One box, we must say, sold at a premium, and shows the ad vanced price of cabbage bought at Richland at perhaps 2 cents a pound wholesale and sold here at 75 cents per head. Tho advertisement, how ever, Is probably in Seneca's favor, aa the purchaser, having paid the ex hothltant price, Bag(ged) bis pre mium well, and in order to promote further grov, th and development of the head, good naturedly ordered that lt bo Berryed under the careful su pervision of our appreciative Dean, who, by tho way, ls an extensive dealer In such "truck."
