The Lutheran Church of the Re deemer is arranging for the celebra tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the congrega tion and consecration of its first church building. The congrega tion was organized in 1853 and the first church consecrated in 1854. The anniversary exercises will take -place February 25-28. On the evening of the 25th ad dresses will be delivered by Drs. George B. Cromer and A. J. Bowers; on the 26th, addresses by the Rev. Dr. W. C. Schaeffer, of Savannah, Ga., and the Rev. W. K. Sligh.

Bedenbaugh, president of the South Carolina Synod, and the Rev. S. C. Ballentine, secretary. On Monday night, the 29th, there will be a social gathering and reception at the parsonage. THE UCENSE ORDINANCE. A MIseonception of Some of its Provisions. No Interference with 'the Right to Bring Produce to Town. Some people are misinformed as to the ordinance recently passed by the city council relating to li cense, especially farmers who have produce to sell. There is a State statute which gives to persons the right to sell beef, mutton, veal or pork raised by themselves free of any license, and the license ordi nance does not prevent any one from selling such articles as have been- mentioned. Also vegetables, fruits, cotton, grain, milk, butter. watermelons, honey, etc., may be sold free of all license, and the city council had no idea that any one would attempt to create such an impression, but on the contrary they welcome all to come and sell, and guarantee them the freest and fullest privileges and will secure them all protection under the law. Persons who come and trade horses* are not included in the ordinance unless such persons make a busi-1 ness of horse trading for gain or a livelihood and not merely as an ex change between each other. Quick Work. While Mr. Shelly was at dinner last Thursday a young negro, Mil ledge Green, stole his bicycle and away he, went. A warrant of ar rest was placed in the hands of Po licemnan Koon and this fast officer lost no time in getting on the trail of the wheel robber. Mr. Koon followed on through Helena and arrested Green about ten miles in the country. He was turned over to Magistrate Chappell, who jailed him for court. Death of Mr. T. J. Oilner. Mr. T. J. Oxuer died at six o'clock last Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mr. R. B. Lominick and was buried at Ebenezer on Fri day afternoon. The deceased was 7o years old and leaves a wife and three children-Mr. T. J. Oxner, Mr. D. E. Oxner and Mrs. Fannie Ruff. To Wed. There are cards out for the mar riage of Miss Nina Lake of New berry to Mr. Ralph Wise of Georgia, at the residence of the bride's moth er on February 3 at eight o'clock p. m. PURELY PERSONAL. rhe Movements of Many People, Newber rians and Those Who Visit Newberry. Miss Nannie Henderson, of Chap pells, is visiting Mrs. J. M. Bowers. The Rev. J. J.

VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT. Newberry was treated to a good rain last Friday. The Bachelor Maids will meet this afternoon, half past three at Mrs. 0. L. Schumpert's. The robins will soon be passing 'this point on their free rural routes migrating to a colder climate. One flash of lightning and a thunder peal the 22nd of January that's what we had here last Friday. Rather early. The Riser Millinery company ad vertisement tells you that you can set your own price on hats and trimmings left over. Go get bar. gains. General Gordon's Reminiscenes of the Civil War at Gilder, Weeks and Hunter's drug store. Don't let yourself be found without a copy of this book. The union meeting of the Reedy River Association will hold it first session at 7.0 p. m. on Friday next with the East Side Baptist church. Program published last week. At the annual meeting of the State Bar Assdciation in Columbia last week Col Schumpert was elect ed an officer of the general council and Col. Johnstone on the local council for the seventh circuit. Mayor protein Van Smith is teach ing sinners good lessons. His text is: The way of the transgressor is hard." But being a doctor as well as a good acting mayor he knows how much a sinner can stand. There are two rival factions in* the ranks of the patrons of the Afro American school at Helena and once in awhile the one gives the other trouble. It hasn't as yet as smed the proportions of a McCoy Hatfield feud, but occasionally it gets hot in the little town. Mimnaugh has stacks of goods in stock up stairs, and he doesn't care whether they go up or down. Downstairs the big store is loaded to the ceiling with new goods, his large force of young lady and gentle men clerks being kept constantly busy. Mimnaugh's is a drawing name. See Mimnaugh. His latest! new ad. appears today. Mr. D. B. Wheeler is out again. He was kept in awhile on account of having been thrown from his buggy and considerably bruised. His horse got frightened at a train near Helena and ran away. Those Helena roads are good places for horses to get badly frightened at passing trains. We warn people to b careful coming and going. The Gaffney Ledger, in speaking of the Rev. W. S. Holmes, who has resigned the rectorship of the Epis copal churches at Laurens and New berry to accept a call to Grenada, Miss., says: "Mr. Holmes is a Gaffney boy and his many friends here are watching his rapid rising in his holy calling with much pride and pleasure, and their best wishes go with him wherever his duties call him." Mr. B. F. Day, who lately moved to the Garlington house on Col. Fair's place, is near enough to Helena to send two children to school there. This flourishing school is in good condition and draws pu pils from quite a distance in the sur rounding country. MissJulia Brown, principal, and Miss Alma Bishop, assistant, are giving entire satis faction and the school is progressing in every way. These young ladies are fine teachers and the citizens of Helena are unanimously glad that their children are in such good hands. Parlor Concerts. The ladies of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer are arranging for a series of parlor concerts to be given at the parsonage. The first concert in the series will be given on next Friday night. In answer to the inquiry whether these con certs will be given for the entertain ment of the members of the Luth eran congregation alone, it is an nounced that all w 11 be welcome and it is huped that many friends not members of the congregation will be present. Tickets, the price of which will t>e fifty cents, vill be on sale by the young ladies and at Mayes' book store. There will be no half tickets for this entertain ment, but a program is being ar ranged for a children's concert to be given on iome Saturday after noon in the near future. While the parsonage, which was 'arranged with a view to the social needs of the congregation, will accommodate a large number of persons, that number must necessarily be limited and it is hoped that those who will attend will procure their tickets early. Another reason why this is desirable is the fact that light re treshments will be served. The program will be as follows: Part virst-Male Quartette, Messrs. Biack, Ful:ner, Eleazar and Lybrand; Piano Solo, Miss Lois Goggans; "A Winter Lullaby'' (DeKoven), Miss Carolyn Cromer, with violin obligata by Miss Susie Summer; Piano Duet.

It will be learned in Newberry with a great deal of pleasure that Mr. J. Epps Brown has been ap pointed to the position of acting general manager of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co., Atlanta, Ga., and his many friends here will appreciate the very great compliment paid him in being vested with the authority of running the affairs of this great corporation. This appointment was brought about by the condition of the health of Mr W. T. Gentry, vice-president and general manager, who has found it absolutely necessary to break himself away from business and take a much needed rest. He sails on February 6th for Europe to be gone for an indefinite period,. and during his absence tne duties of en gineering the affairs of theSouthern Bell Telephone and Telegraph com pany devolve upon Mr. Brown. His connection with the Southern Bell Teleghone and Telegraph company began in May, 1899, and The Herald and News takes pleasure in noting the rise of this former Newberrian who has done and is doing so well To Lecture Here. Dr. J. H. Eager, who labored as missionary to Italy under the South ern Baptist Convention, now con nected with the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at. Louisville. Ky., will lecture in the 1st Baptist church Friday night, 7-30; subject Italy and the Italians. Public cor dially inviieA to attend. The News From Utopia. Utopia, January 25.-Mr. Bart Golden left here Saturday for his home in Arkansas. Mr. Oscar Long is quite sick. Miss Annie Herbert starts today to the graded school at Newberry. She will be missed in the home, in the church, and in the community. The Rev. J. E. Beard is a good preacher and preached a most ex 1ellent sermon yesterday at New Chapel. Mr. Luther Hawkins has moved into the Utopia section on Mr. Mark i NTichol place. Mr. Frank Schumpert is very sick. The ladies enjoyed a dining given by Mrs. Thompson last week. The school teacher here, Mr. Bickley, is sick, and school has sus pended for a few days. It is|hoped that Mr. Bickley will soon be able to resume his duties. When away from Newberry and attempting to get in long distance calls through other offices one is made to appreciate v-ery forcibly the courtesy and the promptness of he operators in the office of the Southern Bell company here. When a lady butts her head against a telephone pole she sees lectric sparks. Trespass Notice.
