A BIG SALE OF LOTS. p Some Desirable Building Lots to be Sold at Auction by Newberry Real Estate Company. The Newberry Real EsEate compa ny some two years ago purchased from Hon. Geo. S. Mower the L. J. Jones place, one of the handsomest pieces of property about the city. This company at once set about opening streets and boulevards and dividing it up into lots. These streets are from 4o to 70 feet wide and have been *turned over to the city and planted with trees, some 1,ooo, all of which are growing. The streets are not given the attention they should have by the city but it is presumed that as res idences are built .this will not be the case. Some ten dwellings have already been erected and more to follow. Only the o6er day Mr. Henry Sligh purchased 23 acres just beyond the corporate limits and -has commenced building a house. Mr. B. J. Livings ton has bought ten acres just outside the city and will build two dwellings -between now and January 1st. Mr. Gus Summer, and J. B. Hunter, Esq., and H. N. Boozer are now building. Mayer Bouvelard is 70 feet wide and a beautiful street. It should be ex tended at both ends and no doubt will be soon. The company still has about i5o acres of this land. There were 200 acres in the tract. About the first of November an auction sale of ioo lots will be held from the most desirable portion that is :left. Full particulars will be given later.

Sermon on the Three Types of Chris tian Service. Dr. J. A. B. Scherer occupied the pulpit at Central Methodist church last evening. A large congregation was present and the sermon was thorough-ly enjoyed. His subject was "Three Types of Service," The types of character being Lazarus, Martha and Mary, all of whom were present at.the supper that was prepared for Christ at the 'house of Martha. The three persons .all did service unto Christ, yet they were separate and distinct. Even as there ware differ ent types of service to God in the day of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, so it is today. Tlhe busy housewife, going about her domestic duties serves Christ in the thome as did Martha, who prepared the meal for Christ. Mary broke the -alabaster box and annointed the feet of Christ, served Him, though after her own fashion and the -service rendered by Lazarus was still a different type. Not one of these types of service was perfect. Dr. Scherer p;ointed the danger of too great a service along distinct lines. Man should serve Chris-r with his ieart, soul and mind-the three com bined making 'the ideal type of ser vice.-Spartanburg Journal. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
