Dominick the Little Mountain, some times known as Ruff's Mountain. This mountain is close by the line of the Columibia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad, and no doubt the Piedmont company has an eye to making a~ famous summer resort of this mouni taini when the railroad is completed. It is elevated and healthy, and theseeneryv good, and by theerection of a large hotel it could be miade a f:unous sunlmner resort. Who keeps the nicest stock of Hats ini Newberry? Wright & J. WV.

New Railroad Schedules. A general cintige in the schedule )f the Iielilo id and Danville systen: Xas mS1adc .Ju ne 24. On the ('olumbi tn:l Greenville division the train fron. ,oluibia arrives at Newberry at 12.:'( :. n.. and the train from Greenville at .12 p. ni. 'he int!tins pas-s at Chap ,ells. The \Ncw\s and Courier of Mondam -tatcd that daily trains would be rut in the main line of the Columbia am receiiville Railroad, but this is a mis ;ake. There will be a Sunday train be. t'ween Columbia and Asheville. There is also a slight change inl th (hedlule of the Laurens train, whiel rrives from Laurens at 8.25 a. in. anc roi Columbia at 4.50 p. in. The South Carolina Railway make: i fast cun from Charleston to Columbia Tlie distance is 130 miles, and the run Including stop)pages, is made in thre< tours and fifteen iminutes. Eleven years ago the first train wen hrougli from Charleston to Greenvill in about fourteen hours, passing New berry at 3 p. m. That was a great ad vance over one whole day of gettin. even from Charleston to Columbia The run is now mnale from Charlestoi to ( eenville in ten and a half hours md from Charleston to Newberry nearly two-thirds of the distance fron Charleston to Greenville-in five and half hours. Visitors front Newberry to Gleni prings now have a more convenien way of getting to that timne-honore< uumnmer resort. They can leave on th, Laurens train at 8.2.3 a. in., arriving a Alston in less than an hour, where the: ,-ant pass a pleasant two-hours-and-. half in the twin cities on the Broa until the regular mail train from Cc lunibia leaves at 11.30 a. I., which put them down in Spartanburg at 2.40 p. m The night trains between Charlestoi and Asheville, via Alston, have bee discontinued. The northbound train on the Chal lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroai now leaves Columbia at 10.30 a. m., in stead pf 1.30 p. i. as heretofore, ani makes close connections for Northeri cities, arriving in New York the nex day at 1.20 p. m. The new schedules are very satisfa( tory. Picnic at Bethlehem. The picnic of the Woman's Home an Foreign Missionary Society of Bethhi hem church, near Pomaria, S. C which came off on the 23d was quite success. There was a large crowd pre ent. In the forenoon Prof. E. 0. Count and Rev. J1. B. Fox made excellen addresses on the subject of "Missions. The audience then adljourned to thm grove where wa spread a bountiful r< past, of which all were invited to pa' take. The ladies had ice-cream an lemonade for sale; the gross amour realized was nearly thirty dollars. Afttr a recess of an hour and a ha the audience reassembled to listen wit pleasure to another missionary address which was delivered by Rev. H. ! Wingard, of Springfield, Ga. After this address we were favore with a recitation. "Thue New Churc: Organ," which was gracefully rendere, by Miss Rosa Smith, of Charleston. Of the addresses it is sufficient to saa that they were une xcelled by any 1 which we have ever had the pleasui of listeninig. We venture to say ther was no member of the society who di not feel encouraged, her interest r< awakened, and her desire to do somi thing for the Master increased. The society received an addition< several new members. The next day the Rev. H. S. Winf arl, wvho wvas once the highly esteeme pastor of this church, preached an e: celent sermon to a large and appr< iat ive congregation. FANNIE C. SFTZLER, Corresponding Secretary.

He was pastor ri of Graoe Church here for several years, and there is a warm attachment be tween him and our people. The hot weather has improved the cotton cro, ever so much but there is room for lots of improvement yet. The 3 farmers now have their crop pretty well cleaned, and in fair condition. Rain now would be of advantage. Last week we were glad to meet Mr. d Bowman Holley, an old pupil of ours, on his way home in Edgefield, from Wtolord College, where he attained to the first grade in all of his studies. Mr. a Holley is preparing to enter the min- g istry of the M. E. Church South. May k success continue to attend him. sl While the typo is "setting up" this n letter for the press, the writer will be enjoying the delicious juicy eat fish at Freshley's on Broad river. Wish that Dr. Folk could be with me but he must forego this exuulsite pleasure. Poor s. fellow, he is quarantined off George- j town in Winyah Bay. Never mind Dr. your time will come yet. Hurrah ! for Shearouse. We will say hurrah for him every time he tackles e " woman's right to vote" in the clear, logical manner in which he did v in his speech at Newberry Col lege. We want no "woman's right to vote" down South where we have a certain class of women who would de- d light to throng the ballot box the whole a day. An arrangement of this kind would suit Sherman, Blaine, Ingalls, paralytic Fairchild and baby eater a Frank Hix, and such like, but do n please excuse all decent people from b such a mixed ballot. It is badly b enough mixed as it is, and for the sake of common decency, if for no other $ reason, let us not have it any worse. P Prosperity sent a good round dele- P gation to the commencement exercises of Newberry College. It was our pleas ure to be one of the number. There is only one general verdict as to these ex ercises, not only here, but of all with whom we conversed upon the subject, and the verdict is this : "It is the best commencement that Newberry College has ever had." Vox pop uti. We were peculiarly and forcibly impressed with the Junior exhibition. We have seen graduating classes fall below these six young men, in their graduating( speeches, both in composition and delivery. The exercises from beginning to end were extraordinarily good, not a single balk of failure, and the large au dience never tiring. The boys, the small boys of the town of Newberry, dserve credit for their excellent be havior, and good conduct throughout the e *e:cises. Three cheers -for the conduct of the boys, the small boys of the town of Newberry. The moonlight picnic of Grace Church Sunday School came off last Thursday night as billed, and was a complete success. Long tables with spotless cloths, fairly groaned under the weight of sweet meats of all kinds. Ice cold lemonade was dispensed with out stint. The intermediate and in fantile departments at the proper time were assembled in the room of the lat ter, and marched in double-file to the table. All other persons then, old and young took their positions at the table -a blessing was asked, and then the pinic commenced in earnest. All were filled chock full and several baskets full of fragments might have been gathered up. Every body enjoyed them selves to the utmost. It certainly was the event of the season and in our judg ent puts a quietus on noonday pic nics in a sweltering sun with the ther-1 mometer away up in the 90's. As the evening shades close in, and the moon's silver rays fall gently on all around, and the soft evening zephyrs are soothingly wafted on youth andi beauty, manhood and old age are all prepared for real nice cool evening en joyment.

A large crowd looked wn from the galleries upon the fair r ene below, while the lower platform as well filled with prominent visitors id those who enjoyed the tempting iort.

Aull has been elected Principal of the Helena High School to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Arthur Kibler. Miss Beulah Greneker was re-elected assist nt teacher. This school enjoys the eputationl of having had able and ex mmplary teachers and bright pupils. and while we regret the resignation of s late competent principal, we are >leased to know that he will be sue eeded by so worthy a young gentleman is Mr. Aull, who comes fresh to the ield from Newberry College, bringing w'ith him very flattering testimonials. iiiss Greneker has taught in the school 'or five or six years, and her tact, judg nent and disciplinle have enabled her ; do some good work for the younger :hildren. We hope that the work of uilding the school carried on so well n the past by the harmonious and mited efforts of the principal anld hlis issistant may continue to increase the isefulness of the school under its pres nt management.
