Miss Virginia Graham read an essay on
"The Southern Poets." This reading
was thoroughly enjoyed by all present,
and made one feel proud of the talent
bur Softt-laud has produced. And
not the least by far, among these poets
is our townsman, Mr. Tasker Polk, one
of whose poems, "A Storm at Dawn
ing," was delightfully rendered by
Mrs. Jno. H. Kerr. The program
reached the height of its enjoyment in
tb.B reading of a selection from George

ease of manner always holds the atten
tion of the ClUb.
The beet usually comes last, and this
occasion was found to be no exceptiou
to the rule wjien the guests were
ushered into the dining room so ex
quisitely decorated withjpalms, ferns,
and cut flowers, The color scheme was

canopy of crepsi papier, with'which the
room was festooned, the daintiest re
freshments were served by Mrs. Hen
derson and her sister, Miss Williams.
The room being darkened, the ruddy
glow from crimson globes cast a feeling
of clieer and happiness on all around.
We would hot fail to mention Mr.
Jno, L. Henderson, that king of yood
fellows, who by his easy manners and
ready wit, made this occasion one never
to be forgotten. The Club will meet

The Temperance Meeting.
Owing to a concatenation of consur-
rent circumstances the temperance
meeting advertised to be held here last
Saturday was not largely attended; but
these who were present expressed very
decided convictions in favor of total
prohibition. Some however were of
opinion it would not be wise just now
to hold an election; for while they were
sure of being able to carry the town iu
favor of prohibition, they were of opiu
ion victory would not be perruaueut
owing to defects in the "Watts Bill."
These it is hoped will be amended by
the next Legislature sufficiently to pie
vent the enemies of prohibition, from
changing our hard won victories lLto
defeat.
Able addresses were made by Messrs,
Tasker Polk and J. H. Kerr, aud re
marks all iu favor of the great cause
tint brought us together were made by
;others. The meeting udjourued subject
to the Call of the president.
The purpose of the temperance peo
pie is to secure prohibition as soon as
possible. Agitate, educate and legis
late. The speedy end to be attained is
prohibition.
