InpmsusncetotkeM.n^oemest^;
the Sun last week, the grand inae ‘ ral
entertainment of the Harmonic ' erein
came off on last Wednesday ev ID S- At
8 o'clock the hall was cio*’’ e<i with the
fashion and elite of on ci ty, an d now
while we are waiting jr the exercises to
comiuence, we will ■** Ke a short look at
-ifß HALL,
which, we do* 0 * not, is one of the most
handsome the State. It is a very large
being perhaps 40 by 90 feet, and
\\M fixed up with a neatness and taste
which speaks woll for those who had the
decorations in charge. The floor was wax
ed and just in the proper condition to ‘ cut
the pigeon wing." The mottoes which
were hung on the wall Were very apropos,
and especially was the large lettering in
which was the name of the club and the
date of organization, handsomely executed.
We could go on in this describing strain
but the exercises are .about to
first in order is the
president's address.
The accomplished President, Mr. Simon
Kngel, then arose and delivered, in fine and
eloquent style, the following address :
Ladies and Gents. Fellow-Oeficers and
Members of tiif. Harmonie Verein :
On rising to address you this evening I
hope you will not think it vanity on my
part, in saying that 1 am proud of doing
so as Pres dent of the first and only Ger
man literary and social organization ever
formed in this city.
Upon an occasionTike this it is but meet
that the presiding officer should make an
inaugural address, but not being a profes
sional speaker. 1 hope you will bear with
me if as I feel i should fall far short of the
mark in delivering such an address as you
are entitled to thin evening. Eloquence is
not a gift of mine but the best I can do
shall be at your service.
There is nothing more beneficial to the
human family than social intercourse blen
ded with.literary pursuits. Such ladies and
gents is the object of our society. Scarcely
six weeks have elapsed since the project to
form this association was put in motion.
How well we have succeeded, your pres
ence here to night attest. ’Tis true our
members are few, but I trust and am sat
isfied in saying that the material of which
they are composed, though small it be, will
prove as good in the future as it has done
in the past, and is doing at present, It
shall be my aim as President of this body
to further to the best of my ability its ob
jects and principles of organization, that
of literature and sociability, in which I
have not a doubt I will be ably assisted in
and co-operated with by you, my fellow
officers and members, to the full extent of
your powers. Let the name of our society
be the insignia of our actions, let our watch
word be harmony so that the ship which
we have launched upon the troubled waters
may make a safe and successful voyage.
Ladies and gents, guests of ours, I bid
you welcome, thrice welcome, to our social
circle. Let me express the hope that this
may be the inaugural only of a continued
series of your valued visits to our estab
lishments. In conclusion I trust you will
pardon me for taxing your patience so long
in listening to my remarks, and accent my
thanks for your kind attention to thesaine.
At the conclusion of Mr. Engel's ad
dress. a quartette composed of Messrs. Ul
mer, Deitch, Rosenfeld and Obermayer,
sting a welcome glee ; after which an orig
inal essay was read by
MR. I. M. ROSENFELD.
the Vice President of the club. JT Mr. R's
essay was well gotten up and splendidly
delivered, while the subject was very aptly
chosen—that of charity. Next came the
song by the club of “ The Watch on the
Rhine," at the conclusion of which
MR. HENRY ROTIIE
read a splendid essay on the subject of Lit
erature. Mr. Rothe’s composition was
good, his ideas pointed aud yet elaborate.
He was loudly cheered. Next came an
original comic song by
MR. I. KOIIN,
which, for the genuine amusement it af
forded the spectators, could not have been
improved upon. Just at this poiut, the
following telegram was received and read
by PreskVnt Engel:
Thomasville, Ga.. Nov. 90. 1872.
Simon Engel. Pres Harmonie Yefein :
Unable to be present at your inaugura
tion, we send you our best wishes for the
future of your organization, hoping that
harmony will always reign supreme and
excelsior be your motto.
M. Deitsh, See'y,
German Reading rlub.
Everything was now placed in readiness,
aud
THE BALL
commenced. The music was simply splen
did. We never heard a better band in a
ball room. It was an Italian band from
Savannah. While the music was going
on. ye reporter was eagerly scanning the
ladies dresses, and we must say we never
in all our lite saw more neat and hand
somely dressed ladies. . Ihe exhibit of
neat and tasty dressing would have did
I credit to one of the salons of Paris. We
have only one little word of complaint to
make, and we hope our lady friends will
pardon us for stating it here. We must.
, in the name of all that’s good and bad. en
-1 ter a demurrer against the prevailing fash
ion of wearing long trails to a ball room.
Ii dose nt matter how careful and attentive
a man may be. he will sometimes find him
self dangling upon a lady s dress, and then,
if the laws of politeness forbids it being
spoken, it is very loudly thought, "oh you
awkward fellow!" while the poor slave in
pants is gritting his teeth and vowing
eternal and everlasting hostility to long
trails. Again, we say. young ladies when
you go to balls leave the five or six yards
of your dress which sweeps the floor,
leave it at home. We want it understood
that we are not saying this for our own
benefit, and as an apology for ou* awk
wardness. because we don't think we got
trailed more than about thirteen times at
the late ball.
THE DANCING
was kept up until about half past one
o’clock, When t gUeSt * '*** * de^rt ’

The committee did their whole duty, and
everything went off in the most orderly
style, in fact, we have never seen anything
gotten up iu Bainbri >ge that could favor
ably compare with the grand ball of the
harmonie verein Long may itjwaive.
City Telegrams.
The hens in this section won't lay, even
at 35 cents per dozen.
There is a rivalry between our street
lamps and the moon. The latter has the
best of it so far.
There is an old lady in this city who
gives her ideas of a great man as follows :
One who "is keerful of his clothes, don't
drink sperets. ken read the Bible without
spelling the words, andjeat a cold dinner
on wash-day without grumbling.”
Blossom savs the reason why he didn't
dance at the ball was because they had the
floor so badly greased.
Mayor's court awfully dull.
Read our new advertisements.
Cold weather courting is fashionable.
Rain again.

This enterprising merchant, has
one of the largest, finest and best selected
stock of goods in the city of Baiabridge,
which he i3 offering for sale at remarkably

don’t profess to know unless it is that he

comprises everything necessary to the
trade. It consists in part of dry goods of

bis fine and tastily selected stock of ladies
dress goods, consisting partly of black bom
bazine, black alpacas, all wool delains,
striped poplins, and opera flannels; which
he guarantees to sell at New York prices.
His stock of shirting and sheeting, both
bleached and unbleached, can not be ex
celled either as to prices or quality.
To the young aud old men, we can say,
that Mr. R. has the finest and best selected
assortment of hats and clothing of- the la
test styles, and; as cheap as can be bought
in New York.
Mr. It is always in the cotton mardet,
and will pay the highest market price for
that staple.
We cheerfully recommend our young
friend to'all who might desire anything in
his line, and can safely assure all who call
upon him. entire satisfaction, and all the
attention possible from|himself, as well as
his polite and attentive salesmen.
To the country-people we would say,
don’t fail to call on Rosy when you come
to town
To the city people, we need say "nothing
in his behalf, as he has already identified
himself as one of us. audja fairer or more
enterprising and accomodating young mer
chant can be found nowhere.
