How's that for the Sunny South? Business was pretty well suspended oq Monday or account of the snow. Ester will fall on Sunday April 2nd this year. Today Is St. Valentines' Day and iany a young beart is fluttering with anxiety. The windy season of the year is ap proaching and all should be careful with their fires. News is hard to flud during such a spell of weather and the news gatherer sees a hard time. The thermometer was down to 6 de grees Monday morning-the coldest for the past several years. The college and the graded schools both clcsed on Monday on accogut of the extreme cold weather. The interior of the Excelsior Fire Company's reading room and ainuse ment parlor will be painted to match their furniture in a few days. All the trains have been late for the past few days, and yesterday the daily papers did not reach Newberry until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. WThe annual treat of,he Band of Hope has been postponed until later in the week. It will be announced in the schools In time to give all a chance to attend. Those who failed to attend the meet ing of the Luther League Friday night missed a rare treat. Prof. Cromer was at his best, and his address was splendid. The Mower Co. will have something to say In our next about shoe retailing and iv the mean time if you need any thing.in their line give them a call and you will get bargains. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. T. Kibler cele brated thei erolden wedding yesterday, and were presei.t-d with a brand new little granddaugh'.er by their son, Dr. J. M. Kibier. Cor.gratulations, Doc. Representative H. U.

This morning was the coldest in the memory of the Oldesh inhabitant,s In Newberry, the thermoncters throughi out the city ranging from six to eleven degrees below zero. Business was sus p)ended yesterday and today and every body is staying close to the lire. Every thing is froze up, the water p)ipes in many quarters have bursted and The Herald and News ollice comes in for its share of the losses, as the pipes to our steam engine have frozen u p and bursted for two mornings and IL is wit,h dillicul ty that we do any printing at all. Scott's creek was frozen over this morning from bank to bank--something never knowu to have happened but once before in the memory of this writer, and we have had some cold weather, for In 18841, if our memory servos us right, the thermoneter went as low as the zero mark or very near to it. If the weatber does not moderate within the next day or t,wo there will doubtless be much suffering among the poo. The College and Graded Schoole bot,h closed down yesterday on account of the extreme cold, and the Graded Schools are closed yet today. Stop II1wt HackI( Before it is too late.

Funds Wanted With Whieh to Procure a Suitable Tesimontal For the Brave South Uarolinian. In connection with the society of pa troitie award organized for the purpose of procuring a suitable testimonial for Lieutenant Victor Blue Miss Sue G. Mazyck of this city has received the following letter: Columbia, S. C., Feb. 3, 1899. Deal- Miss Mazyck: On Munday after noon, Jan. 30, a meeting of Columb'a ladies was held at the home of Bishop Capers, when Mrs. Capers was duly chosen president, and Mrs. E. W. Screven secretary and treasurer of the association of Patriotic Award, then formed, having for its present object the procuring of a suitable testimonial for Lieut. Victor Blue. It was decided that the proper testi monial would be a handsome medal. I am instruct ed to write to a lady in each town, and your name has been given me for Newberiy, aisking her to form a like association to gather funds for the test,imonial. I think you will agree it is best to name no sum, as we want the offering as general as possible, what each is able to give, however small. We de sire a volunteer cheerful outpouring from the whole State. It you cannot act, in the matter will you kindly find some one who will do so? But we hope you will take charye.
