I know it’s almost here—Christmas!
Any shopper in Newberry would
know that and while nosing around
to prepare to tell you what’s what
this week I saw gaily colored bulbs
high above the noisy streets, a large
tree surrounded by smaller trees in
front of the old court house where
lights will gaily twinkle at night, de
corators with wreaths, sparkling tin
sel, and bells balancing on a ladder
I’ve always felt the biggest kind of
thrill just looking at Yardley’s pro
ducts at Newberry Drug-—but have
gone little further than looking. The
i lovely things Yardley puts out that
are so fragrant and dainty, I’m afraid
my pocket book would shudder at the
sound of the prices. But on my last
trip to Newberry Drug l found a real
suprise an attractive Yardley
package of English Lavender, Laven
der Talc, Sachet Blossoms, and Lav
ender soap for only $1.85. This pack
age will make a long-lasting gift—
prepare to buy an extra because you
will want to have one for yourself as
well as your friends.. .Men like Yard-
ley products, too. I noted a set for
men including everything luxurious
a man’s heart could desire.

AMERICA'S TRADITIONAL
FINE CHRISTMAS GIFT
★ Want to guarantee yourself a
Christmas that will he the "finest
ever”? Then just stop in today and
see the latest models of the famous
star-timed Elgin watches! This year’s
models for men are the trimmest,
smartest, huskiest timekeepers you
have ever seen. The models for
women are dainty, charming—yet
thoroughly capable. See them today!
Pictures that are so lasting that it
would be tragic to have one made
hastily and poorly finished. Nichols
Studio takes the most painstaking
care with each picture made. You’ll
want plenty of time to study over and
decide which proof is the best, soi
might I suggest that you make an
appointment with Nichols for that
Christmas picture now.
Again let me call your attention to
the “gift that starts a home”—the
Lane Cedar Chest. Should you hap
pen to be that one poor man flound
ering helplessly in the rush of Christ
mas shoppers and not knowing which
way to turn, it’s G- B. Summer and
i Sons to the rescue. I can promise you
1 that the bride or bride-to-be couldn’t
be more thrilled with anything for a
Christmas gift than a cedar chest—
and of course, a Lane.

STOKES’
DRUG STOREJnc.
Lower Main street
Phone 158
I was in a group only the other day
that was talking about the vast dif
ference in the drug stores of today
and yesterday. A conclusion was
reached that everything from soup
to nuts may be obtained in the mo
dem drug store. And it’s not so
suprising that Stokes Drug handles
the famous line of Elgin watches.
Elgin has obtained the name of “Am
erica’s traditional fine Christmas
gift”. The newest models for men
and women are now on display at
Stokes, I find. Jot that fact down on
your Xmas list right now.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to take this means of
thanking each and every one who in

sorrow in the death of our beloved
husband and father. For your kind
expressions and flowers we are deeply
grateful and shall ever hold each and
everyone of you in fond remembrance.

NEWS RECEIVED HERE
OF PAUL SMITH’S MARRIAGE
News has been received here of the
marriage of Miss Betty Pettie to
Paul Smith in Montgomery, Ala. The
couple are expected here Monday for
a visit with the latter’s relatives.
Mr. Smith is the son of Mrs. W. R.
Smith of College street and the
brother of Mrs. Richard Floyd and
Mrs. R. Derril Smith. He is known
by many Newberrians as he visits
here frequently.
Evcrytime the subject of moving
pictures comes up, I immediately be
gin anew about Ronald Colman’s
superb acting in “Lost Horizon.” If
you saw that picture or not, you will
want to see, “The Prisioner of Zenda”
for again Coleman comes to the front
to play a du$l role in a colorful tale.
Madeline Carroll appears opposite
Ronald Colman. This picture is the
famous Anthony Hope romance of
love and intrigue in the royal courts
of Europe, and it’s showing at the
Opera House Monday and Tuesday of
next week.
HAVE YOU HEARD?
(By Rev. C. A. Calcote)
Have you heard this man of God,
Gipsy Smith, yet? If you haven’t I
can hardly see how you can be gent-
elmanly loyal to your better-self.
Even those who may not give a rap
about hearing a simple gospel of
Jesus Christ preached, owe it to them
selves to realize that a great man of
God is in Newberry, preaching the
greatest theme in the whole world
from the pulpit of Aveleigh church
and you should hear him.
This man doesn’t care who you are,
or to what denomination you belong—
he reclaims simple gospel truths
with the dynamics of God, and the
spellbound listener is left io be the
judge, and then comes back to hear
the next message.
Gipsy Smith has already hit us
squarely between th* eyes, and it has
done us good, as God knows, and un
less I greatly misjudge human nature,
there are many in Newberry who need
to wake up spiritually, but who will
never wake up I’m afraid unless hit
squarely between the eyes with the
blow of the truth oi God.
Newberry doesn’t usually hear the
kind of preaching she has the oppor
tunity of hearing from the lips and
heart of this man. I have no par
ticular desire to say anything to help
merely fill the pews of the church—
I greatly covet for every Christian
and unsaved persons in Newberry the
privilege of hearing this man present
the “Old, Old Story”. Aveleigh
ehurch invites you to hear him, but
come early enough to get your seat.
The church is being filled to capacity,
but I want every person in Newberry
to hear God’., man tell God’s story of
salvatio.
