officers were elected:
J.F. Baker, N.G.
D.S. Ergle, V.G.
Ben Jackson, Treasurer.
Cliff Powell, O.G.
C.H. Napier, Secretary.

Public installation took place at the hall on Tuesday night, at which there were 
quite a number of ladies present. Refreshments were served to all, and the 
evening was passed very pleasantly, with music and singing. Mr. Noah Jackson 
presided at the organ. The I.O.O.F.'s wore their new regalias for the first 
time, and presented a handsome and attractive appearance.

Dr. Burnett's party, given at the residence of Mr. Howland, on Tuesday night, 
was a most enjoyable affair; there were so many pretty ladies present that a 
gentleman (a widower) exclaimed, Oh my! they are all so beautiful I don't know 
which one to choose for a partner.

The Corinne Museum Company have given two performances at Baker's Hall this 
week. The had quite a nice audience both nights. The dog show is attractive and 
interesting.

The Indian oil man has been here several days; he has extracted nearly all of 
the people's teeth. His oil is specially recommended to pull teeth easily and 
without pain.

Miss Annie Howard has accepted a position as teacher in the Long Branch Academy. 
Her patrons are well pleased with her.

Miss Minnie Platt will commence teaching school at Capt. Hearns' place on 
Monday.
Miss Mary Reardon will resume her place as assistant teacher in the Academy 
here.

Dr. Russ, the popular physician, has left here and located in Washington, Ga. He 
has opened a large drug store there. The people all regretted his leaving; his 
place cannot easily be filled, for a better physician or a kinder hearted man 
never lived. The best wishes of the people here go with him for his success in 
his new home, for what is Graniteville's loss is Washington's gain.

Mr. Jas. A. Stothart has purchased Dr. Russ' interest in the drug store here.

Dr. J.E. Durr has returned here to practice medicine after several years 
absence.

The town of Madison is having sidewalks laid out, trees planted, and several 
houses are being built and painted, which makes our suburbs more attractive.
