The standing com_ millee ?f the board of trustees has' _ been fortunate in securing te fier^ifces 1 t of Dr. Ed win B. Sct/.ler for the in- j I terim. Dr. Setzler tilled this position, himself for a number of years, and , spen* 1 a -1 session at work in his lan. vuage spec i'!:es at thv Hnivefi'y of .. \ irgiiiia.

J jtre.-eiit en trged in a wi.rk on Kng-1 ''s h Prosody. to supplement his , j-cientihe Ireatnient of Knglish versi-! . Mention already published. The col-' . lege is 1 oi innate in the fact that t!io| ua'.ii.: ?.!' !iis engag Mr.enls permits a teac'.'.r so thoroughly capable, and so ? loyal to his alma mater, to serve as al s'ibsiituie in these bii? :iy important j branches. Prof. I?'ty '/.

I lie i sua I reception will be uiven by I the College Christian Association,! j which has already presented every j , prospective student with a neat and: ) instructive hand-book. President - | Sclierer lias just completed the sum- ! j j nier canvass by a visit to North Car- i - olina which will rank next to this* - | state in the number of new students - j next session. I Fverybody connected with the colJ lege rejoices in the fact that the liaml some new boarding hall, just eomplet?| ?'d, will be in charge of Mr. and Mrs. j.lohn A Summer, who have been as) j sociated with the hospitalities of ) I Newberry college for years. Nothing I ! could better guarantee the successful 1 | management of the hoarding accom; I modations for the students. Another r j welcome piece of news for the dormi) I tory students, at least, will be found j j j in the announcement that the hall- j ) ways of the three stories will be sup-1 ( plied with electric lights. The wir) ing for this purpose will be suffi^ ciently heavy to carry lights for evcry room in the building if this shall 2 be deemed advisable at some future 7 time. The old boarding hall will be j temporarily utilized as an additional _ dormitory, on account of the overU flow of applicants. Every effort will be made by the authorities to accomniodate the unusually large body of 2 students that have already asked for 1 enrolment, but the co-operation of the hospitable citizens of Newberry 1 will be needful as never before. 2 Muster Brown has something to say 1 especially to the school children. 7 Von will find Tige at his desk Also. !> T'ook 0,1 pnffo of this paper and 3 see what 'bister has to say to you.

Jones, who has been in business so long in Newberry that everybody knows that his stock is lirst class and that his restaurant is up-to-date, but we desire to remind them that he is now occupying the two handsome stores in the fraternity hull building, thus separating his restaurant from the grocery store, and giving him better opportunity to serve his patrons in both lines. For line coffee and sweet and good hams and everything in the can goods his place is headquarters. Ilis restaurant is also first class and the service is the best. For more than twenty-three years Mr. Jones occupied the store room in .Main street under the Newberry Hotel continuously. This occupancy is ainongts the longest of one firm in onv* location in the history of Newberry. .Mr, Jones' business had grown so that it became necessary lor him to separate the restaurant from the grocery store, so as to be able to accommodate Ins large pat- j rot i aye.

The People Marvel. And they marvel but the more when they see not only the great pile of new goods that Mimnaugh is receiving but at the price which he puts on them. The fancy goods, silks, shoes, and millinery?in fact, anything you want may bo found in this store. Mr. Mimnaugh returned from New York only a few days ago and he spent several weeks in the northern market# where he had opportunity to buy and to the best advantage. This advantage ho will give to his customers. Miss Kefanver, who is in charge of tho millinery department this season, arrived from Baltimore last week and with her able assistants is now ready to serve the ladios of this city and county. Mimnaugh has one of the prettiest stores in the up-country and with the large slock and low prices should attract buyers from far and near. lie also has a full corps of courteous and obliging salespeople, who will always give you welcome. .
