The city fathers have taken a uni que and exceddingly polite method of enforcing the street duty regulations! this year. Instead of sending a man with a club they issue a little card. neatly and quietly phrased, but which practically amounts to an arrest if the citizen to whom it is directed does I no' comply with the request therein stated. It reads as follows: FINAL NOTICE. Newberry, S. C., Nov. 15, 19o4 You are hereby notified that your Street Duty is past. due and unless paid on or before the 26th day of November, 1904, you are hereby sum moned to be and appear before the Mayor's Court of the Town of New berry, S. C., on Monday the 28th day of November, 1904, at io o'clock in the forenoon. By order of the Mayor. THOS. 0. STEWART. C. & T. T. C. N. The Louisana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis will close at the end of thi' month, having been open since May 1. Its projectors, who had hop ed that the attendance would rival that of the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893, will be disappointed, for the present figures indicate that the total record will be nearly ten million short of that made by the Windy City. The figures of the St. Louis Exposition up to October 30 are 15, 993,295, while the World's Fair fig ures were 27,589,521. The November attendance will not run over 5,000,000, for it is cold or rainy. Allowing 5, ooo,ooo for this month, the total at tendance would be about 20,000,000, which would still leave the World's Fair a winner by at least 7,000,000. The causes for the smaller atten dance are not hard to find. The World's Fair came at a time when such expositions were a comparative novelty to the American people. Chic ago is also a greater city than St. Louis, and has a much larger number I of people in its immediate vicinity. The fact that this was a presidential year, no doubt, made the attendance less than it would otherwise have been. Still, 20,000,000 of people make a highly creditable record and the St. Louis managers may well feel proud of the magnificent success of their enterprise. They gave to the people of this country an exposition which in many respec.ts proved the greatest the world has ever known and afford ed new proof of what Americiu' en terprise and American grit can ae onphisn The 'Phone and the Farm. The farm that is in telephone com nunication with neighboring farms ld nearby towns at once becomes a )arty oi a crose social body. and is in :onstant tou h-with everything that s going oni in the vicinity. The iso ation of farm-life is no longtr fo be Ireaded when a telep'llqne circuit is nstalled in the house. .Neighborly :ommunication is a matter of seconds Lnd d,.es not require a more or less xtended trip. Rainy or stormy days lo.not prevent visiting and the ex :hange of frien4y greetings. In case of sudden sickness or ser ous accident help may be called vithout delay, and almost invariably :he physician may be summoned in tantly. There are nu -rous instanc s that might be citeu' . which life ias been saved by this facility of :ommunication. In a.hundred differ mnt ways the telephone makes life ;afer, easier, and more plegsat.r The cost is trifling as.:.compared vith the advantages. and it is safe to ay that any family living in the :ountry-whichhasatelephone installed or.one year, could not be persuaded :o have it taken out and go back to :he old way of living alone. With> a :elephone the farmer's family becom s an important part of the neighbor ng circle instead of an isolated unit ut off from the regular and frequent :ommunication with the remainder Qf :he world.
