Chips: Here I am again and here's our hanI shake. old bov. \\We together with quite a number of ' Prosperityites took in the fair last week and-well, together with crowd ed street cars, mud and the cold it was hard to get a great deal of en joyment out of the trip. Having been inoculated in times past with chicken fever we natural ly hunted poultrydom and lo and be hold we met another chicken crank. (a Langshon crank) from our town and he just would insist that his fancies was the best variety. One thing we noticed there, that to our mind should not be allowed, was that the superintendent of the society was a large exhibitor. We don't think a superintendent should be one. It gives room for talk and we heard the talk. We ivould like to see New berry county have an exhibit that would equal Horry's. Our county can't be excelled. The only New berry exhibits we saw was the one made by Mr. W. I. Herbert of his Rosebud canned goods. I was told that the Mollohon Manufacturing company had an exhibit there. I trust that there were many others from Newberry county. The ex hibit of corn was fine and the U. S. government experimental farm ex hibit of cotton was quite interesting. A new variety of cotton was shown. Collier Japanese Wool cotton. We also saw the celebrated Floradora cotton but were not impressed with it. While passing through horti cultural hall I saw two eminent di vines of the city examining a sample of seed rye, and one said to the other. "say W-- what is this-is it rice?" The smile that W- put on wont come off. We hear of a number of our peo ple coming to the dedication of Hiol land Hall tonight. We hope to at tend. Mr. Virgil Kohn who has been sick with measles at Clemson. has by the advice of the college physician re turned home. The measles have af fected his eyes. and he was unable to study. Rev. C. M. Bovd has returned from Presbytery and the St. Louis exposi tion. He reports a very profitable session of Presbytery, and .that he had a pleasant time at the exposi tion. Mr. WV. P. B. Harmon will move his family to Prosperity by- the last of November. We welsome Burr to our town. One of our "pater familias'' went to the fair and took 5 of his "women folks." and he declares he will never be guilty of such an act again. No. not until the street car line is double tracked all the way and they have more cars. I see where he is right. We learn Mr. R. T. C. Hunter is improving slowly. We hope soon to see him on our streets again. WVe have just learned that Mr. Jas. A. Monts has lost two fine mules. They died very suddenly. One while it -was being hitched to the wagon. To the business men of Prosperity, .if you want to reach the public, ad vertise in The Herald and News. Mr. S. P. Holley. a prominent cit izen of Salrda county., was in town Friday. About 250 of "our people" attend ed the state fair, judging by the ntumber of tickets sold the C.. N, & L. 64. the Southern 183. Geo. Harmon. a student of New berry college, stopped ov'er Sunday' with his father on his return from the fair. The oyster supper under the aus, pices of the Literary Sorosis tonight in C'ity Hall is lookedr "forwa to ty Departrnent Lid and NeWs with much pleasure by our young people and old folks as well."

There is a machine at the St. Louis exposition that accomplishes the proper feeding and watering of stock by clock work. Now if some fellow will invent a way to work stock by clockwork so that we can wind up the machine in the morning and it will keep plowing or hoeing till dinner time he will do the hu man race a great kindness and re lieve many a tired (?) toiler along life's rough wayA.
