THE RECEPTION LAST NIGHT. By the Sans Souci Club at Dr. and I"lrs. J. H. Weaver's. The talk of war is not yet over, neither is the talk of the Easter recep tion of the Sans Souci club which took place last evening at the hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs. Weaver on West Market street. This wa9 pronounced the most en joyable social function of the season. Everybody felt free and easy, and had a general good time and if there were any present who did not feel proud of the club they covered their feelings with smiles and pleasant looks be cause we have never looked upon an assembly of young people whose coun tenance betokened more of pleasure than this one. Everything was propitious for the occasion. The night was beautiful, clear and cold, and there was not a jar to mar the pleasure of any one, while there was much to add to the happy and good ieelings of all pres ent. Everything and everybody looked and seemed more inviting, more at tractive and more comfortable than ever before. The universal verdict was a general good time. The program, which was an informal one, was entered into the spirit of the occasion: Misses Lola Reid and Minnie Gor rell each favored the club with beauti ful vocal solos. Miss Mary Weaver was then called upon and responded with an instru mental solo. Miss Nannie Weaver was then called who responded in her characteristic way with one of her beautiful recita tions. Others gave a few extemporane ous remarks. Later on Miss Mary Goolsby played a march not a wedding march or a march to Cuba but a march to the dining room where a sumptuous repast was spread, and all ate to their hearts content. At a late hour all departed for their different homes with their hearts full of gratitude and praises on their lips of the time, place and occasion of the Easter reception of the Sans Souci club. Those present were: Messrs. Jim Mann, Fuller Reid, Al len Lee, Patterson, F. Eldridge, Her-V mon Wilson, Reeves, Geo. Brooks, Jule Reitzell, Arthur Rankin, Chas. Andrews, Frank Boy les. Henry Boyles, James Rankin. Richard Crawford, Warren Mitchell, Hammer, Alee Al ford, Charles Murray, Lee Wharton, W. P. Ragan.

OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD. John B. Dungee, a Full Blooded In dian Lives at Battle Ground. Comparatively few people are aware, probably, that we have a cen tenarian living in our midst. John B. Dundee is a full blooded Indian, over 100 years old and resides in the vicin ity of Guilford Battle Ground, a few miles west of the city. He was in Greensboro today and stated to a Tel egram representative that his par ents were thoroughbred Indians. His father and grandfather came to Guil ford from Prince Edward county, Vir ginia, with -Greene's army and were engaged in the hostilities at Guilford Battle Ground and late" "returned to Virginia. Mr. Dungee says he fought in the "Norfolk" war, or the war of 1812 and also the last war and was never wounded. He married an octoroon and has but one living child a son about 20 years of age. Mr. Dungee is very lively for one of his years, talks plainly and says although he has seen three gen erations pass away he can shoulder a bushel of corn and carry it to mill with all ease. His eyesight is. remarkably good, as he does not have to use spectacles. He is about 5 feet 10 inches tall, has a pleasant address and wears long hair. He does not resemble an Indian at all and would easily pass for native born American. Miss Loltle Wilklns. The Telegram man did not hear the benefit performance night before last, but we hear so many words of praise for Miss Lottie Wilkins, we are con strained, even at this late day. to men tion the fact. Her recitation, "Absolu tion," was said to be very fine, while her recitations in dialect impersonating the darkey receive on all sides the highest encomiums. To Cure a Cold In One Day.
