Bauk of Western Carolina. Mr. M. L. Tyler, who for the past several years has been the popular i manager of the Lexington branch of j f fche.Bank of Western Carolina, has i 4 * been transferred to the North Augusta branch, a decided promo-' tion. Mr. Tyler and his estimable ' family made many friends while ! here and the whole town regretted j to see them leave. Mr. G. Heber Ballentine, assistant to Mr. Tyler for several months past, has been promoted to manager, filling Mr. Tyler's place. Mr. Ball entine is a young man of ability and worth. He is a Lexington county young man, and is attentive, courteous and efficient. That he will make a good banker is not doubted by those who know and the fact that he has been chosen to succeed Mr. Tyler is a tribute to his worth. See the bank advertisement v the total resources, the accommodations, etc., which make it popular to deal with them. Rgpstratim Notice.

Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to take from us on May 7, 1915, Mrs. C. E. Lewis. She was one of the most faithful members of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of Pond Branch Episcopal Church South. Her traits were such as none but the finger of nnntA Cka tntr^vf Kv VIVU WCUi ITtlWt UUV . nop . tyi^U tv* ? all who knew her4 and was "laTways bright and cheerful, full of life and fun. When we get to Heaven we shall not be satisfied until we meet our sister. May the Lord give grace and comfort to her 'dear husband and children, and may we all meet where parting is no more. MRS. P. S. CROUT, MRS. G. W. SMITH, MRS. A. M. S MITEL Our Newberry Letter. We have been blessed with a i bountiful supply of beans, cabbage, irish potatoes, cucumbers and such other vegetables as is necessary to * make vegetable soup. Oh. my, those good old summer time vegetables. Come up, Mr. Editor, and ! help to devour some of them. Every member of the various Christian churches in this commonwealth of ours should on the 14th ! day of September, next, go to their polling precincts and vote for prohibition from the fact that, with j ^ the assistance of one of our national j laws, known as the Webb law,! would greatly relieve us of the whiskey traffic in this state. Should there be ho providential j hindrance two of our prominent: townsmen, Chief Police S. M. Dun-! can and former sheriff M. M. Buford, will be in the race for the sheriff's office in this county next I "summer. The rah, rah, rah boys' have left' for their respective homes to take a few month's vacation. We wish j to see all those who have not finished their courses return in September with a determination to make: the next session one of the most! successful years in the history of j their former college days. We wel- j come their presence in our city as1 j our streets and college grounds seem to be very lonely. Mrs. Prof. S. J. Derrick and a student of the college, Mr, Morgan, of Ohio, their voices are greatly missed in the choir of their church. We wish; for their early return. B. B. H. Newberry, S. C., July 5, 1915.
