The Masons of this city ale just
ly untitled to the credit of having
given one of the most enjoyable
entertainments that it lias been our
pleasure to enjoy, on Friday night.
The Commercial hall was nicely
lecorated, pictures and emblems
being hung around on the walls. A
nice supper was served, ami spark
ling cliampaign was handed around,
after which the younger portion of
the guests indulged in the mazes of
the dance. The members of the
order did all in their power to make
tlie guests feel at home, and from
the many manifestations of pleas
ure we heard, we have no doubt
but that all enjoyed tlie occasion
hugely. Success to the Masons.
Ail Explanation.
Bnmtcr Keiiubllrnn.
In Wednesday's'edition of the
Republican appeared "the following,
to which exceptions have been tak
en, and Avliieli we desire to set our
self right as to its true meaning

Now we did not intend to con
vey tlie idea that Mayor Felder in
liis official capacity “did nothing.”
Asanolliccr we are proud to say
that lie attends to liis duties faith
fully, but our meaning was that
there was little business to do, and
the salary was too high for tlio
work periormed. Simply this and
nothing more.
Again: In saying “yet this same
man refuses to pay a printing bill
for advertising on account of econ
omy," we did not mean that May
or Felder owed the Republican of
fice a printing bill which lie refused
to pay, (though tve are Irce to con

served. Miss Nellie Douglass, Miss
Lcola Harrison’s guest, favored
the party with some very choice
renditions. It was not known that
she was a musical genius, although
she has been in the city lor several
weeks, until Monday night last
when il was discovered at a little
party given by Misses Nona and
Lannic Adams, and since then her
presence at the piano lias been
eagerly solicited.
As I understand it, the party at
Capt. Adams’ was given in honor
of Miss Douglass, and proved to
be a very enjoyable one, the
company assembled being congen
ial. ’
A FRIDAY NIGHT CRAZE.
That’s what it seems to me, at
least. I tbink Hint for the last two
months I have not mipsed having
an engagement on that particular
evening, although of late my com
pany lias not been so clamorously
sought after. I am unable to ac
count for it, and so wili not bother
my weary and sleepy brain about
it. Last Friday night the Masons
had an anniversary festival in the
now Commercial, beginning early
and closing late. Luckily, I was
fortunate enough to be there when
supper was served, a fact I shall
never regret. Everything, from
substuntinls to delicacies, was laid
before the numerously assembled
guests. The hall was nicely deco
rated, the various emblems of the
order being tacked up on the walls
with evergreens, the work of a few
energetic ladies. Messrs. W. 'T.
A. Putin and J. I,. Price, and other
members, made Hie guests happy
beautiful little poem nut of it, ex
pressing thoughts of the most pure
and loyal nature. The club has
aroused a literary interest among
our young people that I am glad to
note. They may not be ns perfect
in many respects as the older one,
but they challenge and deserve ad
miration.
Misses Anna Lue and Mattie
nawkins leave to-morrow for At
lanta, in the neighborhood of which
city they will s| end Hie summer
mouths. There does not seem to
bc'tbe usual disposition displayed
about leaving for summer resorts
during the summer, a fact (for
which I am unable to account for.
To-night (Saturday) the Arion
Club will give them a little enter
tainment, to which only a few guests
are invited.

The July St. Nicholas.
Nathanic lHawthorno, Thomas
A. Edison, and Mark M. Pomeroy
were all, at some period of their
boyhood, amatuer editors; and it is
a well known fact that a number of
tlie successful journalists of the
country began their editorial expe
rience as boys with little two pen
ny newspapers of their own. Since
the invention of the cheap Imnd-
presscs, the issue of these amateur
journals has become one of the
most popular recreations of young
people.
The July St. Nicholas will have
a fully' illustrated article, by Har
lan II. Ballard, on Amateur News
papers, giving a history of tlie rise
and development of this new in
dustry for young folks, and a sketch
of the “National Amateur Press
Association.”

of the rooms, us many could not
be invited as the receivers would

that a number of invitations were

Personally we have nothing
against Mayor Felder. We have
always been on frieudly terms with
him; liuvo supported him for tlie
ollice he now holds every time lie
was a candidate, but we do think
that the salary of the Mayor is en

he is not to blame, as the Aider-
