Of The Hera PROSPERITY NEWS. The Coming and Going of the Peo ple of a Live and Progres sive Town. Prosperity. S. C.. November 3.-In our article in Tuesday's paper you make me say *Ve hope to make it so convenient for you that you just can't keep doing business with it. Now what we said was and we will italicise it and say. "W1e hope to make -t so convenient for you, that you just can't keep from doing bus iness with it." Do vou see the point? The Southern railway sold 245 tickets for Newberry Tuesday morn ing. The most of them went to see the dog show. If a dog show will bring such a crowd to Newberry what would a regular three ring circus do? We were in town Tuesday and the last we saw of the editor- he. was hunting the ticket man so that he could go to the show, much to our regret we had to come down at i o'clock. W. P. Harmon. a former corre spondent of The Herald and News. now of Saluda county attended Gen try's show Tuesday and st6pped over in town a short while. In the near future we want to write up some of the older churches in No. ten township and give a, short sketch of them and perhaps if data can be had, to sketch some of the earlier settlers. ..Who remembers a family of Wilhelm's that lived at one time near where Mr. J. B. Kempson now lives and what became of them. The old family burying ground is the only thing left to remind us that such a family ever lived there, and Parson Waller (Pastor Wallern). ,Who can recall some of the many sayings in reference to this good man. As a boy I often passed his grave. We hope to tell you some of this interest ing history if it can be had. By the way what has become of curly headed Johnny and his progres sive democracy. and say Mr. Editor what kind of democracy have we any howv. WVith a defeated candidate run nling in the general election and democratic clubs endorsing him. Has the primary outlived its day, or shall we purge the system of the abuses that have crept in. In our humble opinion if something is not done in 2 years there will be other candidates offering in the generai election and in 4 years we will not need the primary as the race will be "free for all." and then.- what? Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Quattlebaum left Tuesday morning for the St. Louis exposition. While in St. Louis Mr. Quattlebaum will buy a car -of mules and horses for Quat tlebaum & Schumpert. As we travel 'about over the coun ty we see much improvement going on. Repairing, painting and build ing. - Mr. K. S. Stillwell, a former New berrian, but for the past four or five years a resident of Greenwood coun ty, has decided to return to his home, county -and will farm in the lowet part of the county for the next year. Mr. anid Mrs. N. B. Wheeler were in townf Tuesday. They came to meet Mis. Stillwell and family. One of the silent industries of our town. (I. say silent because we do not hear much of it up in town,) is the agricultural, implement factory of Mr. J. ,C. Counts. ?.Mr. Counts be gan 25 GE ~so years ago to manufac ture scythe cradles and that.bas grown that now he manufactures grain cradles, plow stocks, cotton planters, ultivators, &c. I2Te also runs a laning -niill and turns out 'balusters nd much work of that kind. The uperiority of his goods warrant that ey should be better known, and -e hope to see his "ad" in The Her d and News. We have looked in vain for the wv school building's wall to ris'e. e old building is totally unfit for in real cold weather and we had ed that ere the cold weather came bells: would ring out from the building. Calling the children to ."rrbi'Wn :y Department Id and News IT.lvZanager Aon-Salem on londay. and attended the dedication _f Holland Hall on Alonday night. Rev. C. A. Freed of Ctduifbia wvas in town Tuesday on his way to the cornerstone laying of the new Ltth eran church at Saluda. S. C. He had been in attendance upon the exercises at Newberrv college Monday night. A petition is being circulated to open a public road from Mr. J. A. C. Kibler's b- Alr. E. M. Cook's. Mrs. N. C. Cook and into the public rc.ad, leading to Jolly Street. juc below Mir. A. -\. Counts. This is an R. F. D. route and Mr. E. 1. Cook informs me he has kept up this road at his own expense for the past 15 years. It does seem that it is time for the county to take charge of it and we trust the petition will be granted by the board of county commissioners. There are two new residences being built at this time in our city. Mr. S. B. Hawkins is erecting a very neat and pretty cottage on his lot, re cently bought from Mr. A. H. Kohn. Mr. J. A. Simpson is rebuilding a beautiful two story home on - site of the residence he had burned about six years ago. January 1st we hope to give the value of improvements made in o-ir town during the past year. We would like to whisper to the good ladies. (only whisper remem ber.) that the brick side walk on Main street needs something. especially if you have to pass that way at night and the electric lights are not on, and not burning bright. Now, this is in the gentlest of whispers to the committee on Civic Improvements for if it were spoken too loud the city fathers might hear it and not give the ad vocates of the "City Beautiful" an opportunity to remedy that some thing. The A. R. P. parsonage is about completed and it looks verily like it had been prepared for especial pur pose, but then we are not going to tell. It is very cosy and inviting. "*The sky makes an excellent roof for the universe. but not a good one for stock or farming implements the coming wvinter." "'No one can store tip happenings enough today to last all the week through. Gather it fresh every da."' In a little farm paper we take there is a character called Peter Tumble down in the November number. It says Peter has been so busy all fall in politics that he has neglected to gather 'his crops. Peter went to two fairs last month and left his wife at home without any kindlings both times. Peter thinks book farming don't pay and of course don't take any farm .journal. I wonder if there are any Peter Tumbledowns in New berry county. We may have oc casion to refer to the gentleman right often. Something to keep: A stiff upper lip. Pegging away. A stout heart as well when the clouds fall as when the sun shines. Trusting your neighbors more and more. Pity the man who has no confidence in his fellows. Your evenings sacred to your fam ily. Faith int your country and her institutions. Your face to the front and let noth ing shake your courage. That tomorrow will be the best day yet. Rev. C. M. Boyd left here on Wed nesday on a very pleasant mission. It is a case of "two souls with but a single thought. Two hearts that beat as one." The 'cremony was performed at 9 o'clock this Thurs day morning. They will return to Prosperity at I p. m. and will occupy the A. R. P. parsonage. Miss Lee of Due West is the fortunate lady. WVe wvelcome the bride to our town and true 'her stay here will be long and pleasant. The congregation will give a reception at the parsonage on Fi iday at 12 m There has been sold here from September 1st to November Ist, 3A(25 bales of cotton. This is an increase of about 60o bales to date in the receipts. Cotton 9.40 today. The Halloween party, in behalf jCi.ic Federation, held under the aus p;ce of the TLiterary Sorosis. h'ad a pleasant time on Ionday nigh'. The attendance was good. The receipts of the evening amount 1 ed to about $28.00. The work to be dlone along in the way of improve ments has not been decided upon. There is a possibility of making a park on the new school grounds. There are other plans as well. Thi. is a laudable work. and we hope to see the work progress nicely. Mr. L. M. Fellers, the champion sweet potato grower of the county. has sold nearlv two hundred bushels ,f his celebrated yams at an aver age price of So cents per bushel. Who savs this d-)n't beat cotton. Next Tuesday we will al! v(-te on the question ot annual or biennial Sessions (f the legislature. Fron our viewpimt and the hurry which f llows the annual session will be in creased if the legislature only meets on1ce in two years it will be worse. We all knox. that it is bad enough as it is. \\e have been unable to "Cg ger a saving to the *'dear people. in fact we think it will be dear for the people if a change is made. We've been having annual sessions for one hundred years and we fail to see any good reasons for a change. Econ omv will not be subserved, and what is to be gained by the change. In the words of our illustrious friend, Josh Ashley, '"We are agin it." We may be wrong. Time will tell. Vote as you think best. A. H. Kohn. At Smyrna. The Ladies Aid society and Mis sionary society will meet in Smyrna church on Saturday of this week im mediately after public service.
