Report of Entertainment dorn
MMvIivVi
To the Foreman and Members of the
Indepcndant Elliott Hook and Lad
der Company :
The undersigned, the Comm'^tce
appointed by the Company as the
Committee of Arrangements for an
Entertainment to raise funds for the
benefit of the Company ask ...vc to
submit the following report .
In accordance with our instruc
tions end iu view of the immediate
necessities upon the Company to raise
funds to remove the building pur
chased from the County and to place
it upon their lot, tho Committeo de
termined to have an entertaiumcnt
at the earliest practicable monion'.
Our inquiries showed that tho Or
angeburg Glee Club, in reciprocation
of some courtesies extended to them
by the Company, were willing to al
low us the use of i bo Masonic Hall,
which they hud leased, and also to
furnish us the music of their Brass
Band, tree of expense. Professor
Berg also consented to loan bis piano
and to perform it upon the same terms
To the club aud to Professor Anton
Berg the thanks of the Committee
and of the Company are due for their
generous kindness. Several of our
citizenspromptly pledged their ai l
to carry out their design: Chief
among these was our honored first
Foreman, an honorary member of the
"Elliotts" Capt. John A. Hamilton
We cannot too highly rate the prompt
and energetic assistance of this gen
ticmnu. He especially deserves bur |
recollection and thanks,
All depended now upon ttie ladies
?would they help us ? That ques
tion has been again answered most
emphatically.
Your c mini I tee called a mce ing
of the ladies and gentleman willing
to assist us on Monday afternoon,
April 23rd; at the Firemen's Hall.
The response to that call was over
whelmingly large and generous
The ladies took hold of the work;
divided its details among themselves
with such zeal and spirit,*J.hat the
committee looked upon their design
as vn fait accompli. The time was
very short for preparation and this
the indies felt seriously. But when
informed of our circumstances they
threw their whole loving hearts into
the task of preparing us a festival on
Thursday evening of the same week,
the 2bTh of A pril.
That evening gathered its shadows
most propiti usly for us, and when
the 11nl 1 was lighted and the good
people of Orangeburg began to assem
hie the labors b. the two days of inter
viils hone forth in Magic beauty. Their
fair hands had been busy for us and
the Hall wa made a garden see e of
grcvii and roses, wreaths and garlands
while the matrons and the daughters
of our city prcsuled like priestesses at
iln-ir beauteous slimes? Bowers uif
Horal handiwork marked the differ
' eiit emporia of the impromptu Fair,
I white a chastu wreath over the stage
! embraced the name of "Elliott1' let
tered in roses ! The evening opened
auspiciously ami passed most plea
subtly?an<lbest of ail?most proli
| lably. The performances on the stage
w re wed I chosen und executed and
relleeicd high ere tit upon th ? lady
in charge aud those who assisted her.
The di lie rent ladies in charge of the
l'o.vt Office the Fruit Stand and
Lemonade Well the Cake and Ice
Crotyn Tables, the Restaurant, and
the Flower stand ami those in cliargj
of the Hampton Unite each ami every
one of then (blessings on them !)
displayed the most untirug zeal, eher
gy, and devotion to their duties ami
interest in our cause, which resulted
in most abounding success.
The next proceeds of the various
departments, a statement of which is
annexed?demonstrates, that, despite
the short notice and tho pro-occupa
tion of some of the ladies in behalf of
another worthy cause, our success
was beyond all expectation. This
pecuniary success was equalled only
by the thorough enjoyment amongst,
the audience.
Everything was enjoyed, it seemed,
on account of tho cause, nud for our
sakes.
The Committeo congratulates the
Company upon its complete succors,
and bids it never despair, nor f alter
while tho ladies thus stand by and
support it with their smiles and bless
ings !
In conclusion tho Committee
recommend tho adoption of the follow
ing resolution :
Resolved, That tho "Elliotts" feel
and hereby ssay to express their
deep and lasting obligations for the
triumphant success with which they
passed through, a crisis in their his
tory which has resulted in securing
to them a Truck House and Hull
without one nollar of debt, to the fair
women of Orangeburg, for their
prompt and generous response to
the appeal of the Company; that their
Building wil- be to tho "Elliotts" a
" Memorial Hall" of the allectionato
interest of the ladies lor their C imp
any; anil from the memory of ihei r
noble assistance each of its rnembirs
will overdraw an inspiration of fresh
impulse and vigor and new lessons of
duty and of responsive devotion,
which will make him a hotter Fire
man and a better man !
