The card will have to be presented at the door. This is done in order that ev ery one may be served in proper manner and be able to enjoy the din ner. The dinner will be served in the court house and the daughters are anxious to serve every one but to do so properly there must be some order and system about it. If you are a veteran and have not received an in vitation and a card send your name to Mrs. 0. B. Mayer. Newberry, S. C., so that no one may be omitted. Rev. S. H.

Young Mr. Eleazer from Lexing ton county, who is a student at New berry college developed yesterday a mild case of smallpox-what the doctors call varioloid. A great many of the students have not been vacci nated and it is said that a mild case of this kind is as contagious as a more severe type. The students are being vaccinated now, but should have been some time ago when the town had passed a compulsory vaz cination ordinance. There has been no case of varioloid or smallpox in the city in some time and Mr. Eleazer must have been exposed when he went to his home in Lexington coun ty for Easter. He is rooming on the third floor of the colleg.e building used for dormitories and every pre caution will, be taken to prevent a spread of the disease and it is scarce ly probable that any more cases will be developed.

Editor Cargile of the Saluda Stan dard was in the city last wveek. We regret that we did not see him. If he called we must have been out. In his remarks about his trip, among other thing;s, he has the following to say: Gping on to Newberry at night we lodged at the Crotwveli Hotel. kept by Mrs. Huiet-where all Sa luda stops when in Newberry. There we learned that Saluda would not have the opportunity of entertaining Mr. Stenographer Long, an old Sa luda boy, who resigned a few days ago to serve in the tenth circuit with Judge Prince. Btut in 'his stead the eighth circuit will enjoy the services of Stenograp'her John K. Aull, of Newberry who has just been ap pointed. John Aull has been raised to work. WVe know that from the fact that :ie has been raised about a printing cffice. And if we had been called on to nominate a stenographer we doubt if we had looked abouL long before we settled on John Aull. Saluda will be glad to have this energetic young gentleman at our next term of court. Meeting at Methodist Church.
