AvS A GREAT IMPROVEMBNT. er- Before Cementing Main Street, It Is Being Widened and the Wooden Sheds Are Coming Down. ak Preparatory to cementing that portion of the sidewalk on Main to street between Mayes' drug store and the depot. the sidewalk is be he ing widened more than a foot, and all the objectionable wooden sheds in front of the stores are being torn e.- down. This makes a decided im is provement in every way. Main street leading from the de ed pot up-town will now be, as it sit should be, one of the best and most attractive sidewalks in the city, and ta, as good as it to possible to make. al In addition to the convenience which it will afford pedestrians, it n, will give strangers a good inpres sion of the town upon arriving, and it will be in keeping with the ad is vance,ent of the town. That part of the sidewalk on Main street above Mayes' drug store, which has already been to tceiented, was widened . a few inches, and all the other sidewalks s5 upon which cement has been laid have been widened and the curbs straightened, and those yet to be S- cemented will likewise be improved. at When the walk on Main street is 1 completed, t'e cement will be put i, down on the walk in frouL of the V- National Bank and around the ol opera house. The sidewalk on Friend street le from the postoffice to the depot is gre also being greatly improved by :s having rock curbing put in and be !ng laid with brick. to The work, taken as a whole, is going to improve the town more than anything else in recent years. The present town council have made many improvements for which they are to be commended, and in what ever lends to the advancement of Newberry they have the hearty co operation of her citizens.

Was Returning from Chester Where He Had Gone to Seek Hands-Says Little Boy Stole Watch. The following telegram from the conductor of the Seaboard train which passes Clinton about 3.30 a. i., was handed the police au thorities here at an early hour yes terday morning: "Greenwood io. "Operator: "Lady on my train thinks that man and boy that got off my train at Clinton got her pocket book with large size ladies watch with long chain. Please ask police to try and recover it from them on arrival at Newberry. "Lane 41.' Chief Harris, with Policemen Carter and Koon met the early train on the C., N. & L. from Clin ton yesterday morning. When the train stopped a man and a boy got oiT. They were questioned by the officers and were finally taken to police headquarters by Policeman Carter and searched. When convinced that he would be searched the man took the pocket book, containing a handkerchief, out of his pocket and handed it to Policeman Carter. He said that was all he had. A further search was made and a gold watch, with a long chain, answering exactly to the description in the telegram, was found in his stc-ling. The man said that the watch and pocket-book were taken from the lady by the boy, his brother, shortly after the train left Whitmire. The boy also said lie took the property, saying lie got it froa a rack above the scat in which the lady was sit ting. The two were placed under arrest and lodged in the guard house, and telegrams we;--- immediately dis patched to the conductor of the train at Atlatita inquiring as to the lady's whereabouts. The ian is Laws Criffin. He is a young man, and has been work ing at the Mollohon mill, in this city, for sonie time past. His wife and three children i - reside in the Mollohon mill vihage. Some days ago Superintendent E. . Wil bur sent him to Chester in search of hands. He was returning from Chester, accompanied by his broth er, Sam Griffin, a young boy thir teen years of age, who had been living imi Chester, when his brother, as both say, stole the wsatch and pocket-book from a lady oni the traini. The stolen property, as stated, was found in the elder man's possession. It seemis impllrobab)le that a lady would have p)laced a valuable gold watch on a rack ini a railroad train, but that is the story given by the two men.- At that time of morning, it is probable that all on the train were either drowsy or sotund asleep, and no doubt it would have beeni as easy a matter to take the watch even off thme lady's p)ersoni. The crime wvas commitited necar Whmitmire, which is ini Newberry county, amid wham~tever action 's taken wil!. th-refore, co-ne in thi First Cost Not the Cheapest.
