Coleman House

Mr. Geo. S. Barr, the genial and popular manager of the Coleman House, had recently had his place repainted and otherwise improved. The hotel is now in better shape than ever before, and Mr. Barr is entitled to the praise of the businessmen of the town for having it so.

Delightful Dance Given at Coleman House

One of the most thoroughly enjoyed dances ever given in Kingstree was the one given at the Coleman House Monday night. Quite a number of visitors were present, and in all it was quite a gay affair. The music was furnished by the Mouzon band and was well-rendered. The dancing was kept up until about half past two, and the gay young people were even then loath to leave the dance hall. Among those present were: Misses Mable Rollins, Mamie Jacobs, Essie Benjamin, Georgia Rollins, Bertha Hodge, Kate Levy, Barbara Jacobs, Ella Rollins, Mildred McCabe, Lillian Hodge, Barbara Levy, Eva Rollins, Essie Clark, Bessie Howard and Hallie Rollins; Mesdames Jacobs, Brockinton and Hodge; Messrs.

Brown, Judson Moore, Lamar SIngletary, E.C. Dennis and Troy Flagler.
