It ia-: formed part of the nnelif 11 his colmlnity for mre than )m- ,iftv years. Many of our young men not and young women have been educat the ed there and hundreds from differ ard ent parts of South Carolina have >art come and spent from one to five years >tal with us and thus were formed ties ;ion which are binding and from far and as near there is a living active interest in Newberry college. 030 It is gratifying to learn that the 133 prospects for -the opening now so 796 w>r at hand are so auspicious and . that we are to have so able a faculty fol- into whose hands wil, be placed the tramin- of so mn,:ty )nnng minds. 020 The following in regard to the 918 opening was received by The Herald and News the day it appeared in the Lool daily papers and we take great the pleasure in giving it place in our col sed umn s even though several -days after an its appearance in the daily papers: of Owing to his inability to secure the his immediate release from his posi ,nst tion as vice-principal of the Leland o: Stanford preparatory school at Palo 907 Alto, Cal., Prof. Otto R. Patzwald 00, Ill not be able to assume his. duties .his professor of English and Modern nt Languages at Newberry college until the beginning of the second term, ni January 1, 1908. The standing com mittee of the board of trustees has been fortunate in securing to serAws nt of Dr. Edwin B. Setzler for the in nil] terim. Dr. Setzler filled this position ome himself for a number of years, and ith spev- last session at work in his lan Wuge spee des at th? Unive.itV of Virginia. from which he -enelEd the ntlegr.. o4 Doctor of Phi.o.sophy some ing time ago. He intends to acquire ad our ditional university training, and is at ne- present en:,eged in a wrk on Eng for lish Prosody. to supplement his res ;cientihe treatment of English versi has I fiaion alteady publithed. The col u hIVe is .'itunate in t.e fact that the naLu1 1. his engacr.ents permits a tae'%r so thoroughly capable, and so loyal to his ala mater, to serve as a the sabi)ftute in these hig :iy important b)raunhes. ilso Prof. Rovy Z. Thomas, Ph. D., has for already arrived with his family, to ms take charge of the science depart atment, which will be correlated *with the school of Technology, to the bet 250 terment of both departments. The 790 entire faculty will be on the campus 705s nxMonday to prepare Sforte 825th. At a. in., on the following Fri .-day, the formal openn exercises Iwill be held in Holland Hall, to. which 3 all friends of the college are invited. 135 1Greetings will ab extended to th'e 570 students by members of the faculty 9' and by representatives of the Newe berry churches. On Friday evening the usual' reception will be .given by 01i the 'College Christian Association, 9 wnhich has already presented every 650 prospective student with a neat and 60 instructive ~hand-book. -President 625' Scherer has just completed the sum 640 mer canvass by a visit to North Car - olina which will rank next to this 155 state in the number of new students 525 next session. 15 Everybody connected with the col 45 lege rejoices in the fact that the hand .some new boarding hall, just complet 325 ed, will. be in charge of Mr. and Mrs. John A Summer, who have been as 700 sociated with the hospitalities of 500 Newberry college for years. Nothing 513 could better guarantee t'he successful 051 management of the boarding accom les. modations for the students. Another 287 welcome piece of news for the dormi 58 tory students, at least, will be found 194 in the announcement that the hall 329 ways of the three stories will be sup 324 plied with electric lights. The wir 53 ing for this purpose will be suffi-' 368 iently heavy to carry lights for ev 34 ery room in the building if this shal. 702 be deemed advisable at some~ future 267 time. The old boarding hall will be 33 temporarily utilized as an additional dormitory, on account of the over 966 flow of applicants. Every effort will 275 be made by the authorities to accom ).modate the unusually large body of 32 students that have already asked for 271 nrolment, but the co-operation of 15s the hospitable citizens of Newberry 291 will be needful as never before. 242 Buster Brown has something to say 191 especially to the school children. 207 You will find Tige at his desk also. 54 Look on page six of this paper and 203 see what Buster has to say to you. He 291 is always interesting. Miss Lois Fant is now with Cald B40 well and Haltiwanger where she will FOR FR-E DELIVER Y. Department Says Newberry Entitled o it-Will Send Agent to See if City Has Complied. T :e M!winz lmter from he post fu;. The avernment has checked r up the report from this office and pi finds that we are entitled to free de- so livery. P1 Alderman Green, who has charge vk of th matter. says that in the next io few d-lays he will have completed the th numberinz of the houses and the so posting of the signs of the names of gr the streets. This work would have fr been completed before this, but there has been some delay in secur- $1 ing the letterings.

Jones, who has been in fo business so long in Newberry that pc everybody knows that his stock is de first class and that his restaurant is up-to-date, but we desire to remind I them that he is now occupying the two handsome stores in the frater- T. nity hail building, thus separating his .B1 restaurant from the grocery store, n< nd giving him better opportunity to of serve his patrons in both lines. la For fine coffee and sweet and good fe hams and everything in the can goods as his place is headquarters. His restaur- FE ant is also first class and the service be is the best. For more than twenty-three years th Mr. Jones occupied the store room in re Main street un.der the Newberry Ho tel continuously. This occupancy is ri amongts the longest of one ~firm in one location in the history of New- A berry. .Mr. .Jones' business had grown so that it became necessary for him to separate the restaurant from the grocery store, so as to be able to accommodate .his large pat ronage.
