WKffi SOCIAL. H * >:< Pleasant At Home. Fully one hundred ami fifty guests were at the At Home given by tin HI ladies of the Associate Ueforntei Hi Presbyterian church at t lie beaulifr. W home of Mrs. Rornice Martin in Mail Hj<; street last Thursday evening. TIk y exceedingly spacious halls of thi? home were exquisitely decoreled it I 1e? ns, palms, roses and t'?c back d I tie hall had been con/cried into v W regular stage so that those who were B on the program- were able to randei | their parts with ease and the listen ers were a.ble to see an dhcar withI out difficulty. I At the end of the program the * guests were escorted into the diniinj room where ice chocalatc, ice tea and cake were served. One lovely feature about this was the charming appearance of the dining table, which had been changed into the appcary ance of a lake. A large mirror was Y placed on the (able and (his was decorated with ferns, water lilies, and roses as well as frogs ami swans. It created a beautiful ofi feet. The following' young ladies i served the refreshments: Misses Eleanor Martin, Annie May Young, I Ruth Halfacre, Julia Phillips, Mauic and Ethel Jones, and Marion Higgins. The Misses Martin, Gibson, Mower and others also assisted in the dining room. * * * On Wednesday night a "tackey , party" was given at the home of Dr. O. B. Mayer. There were about ^ thirty boys and girls present. The large lawn and piazzas were beautifully illuminated and the evening was one of much pleasure. Miss Ruby Goggans tr|ok the prize for being dressed in the tackiest fashion. The prize was gracefully, presented by Dr. Mayer in a very witty little speech. During the evening ice cream and cake were served in paste board -boxes and lemonade in tin cups, thus carrying out the idea of the evening. The chapcroncs were Mcsdames J. T. Mayes, S. B. Anil, Leland Summer, B. M. Dennis. * * # Epworth League. On Thursday evening in the Sunday school room of Central Methodist church there was a farewell service given to Miss Lucy Epps who in a few days will go to Nashville, Tenn., to enter the training school for home and foreign mission-; aries. An interesting programme was carried out. Tn addition to this Mrs. J. W. Humbert made a few pleasing remarks on the nature of the work which Miss Epps intends taking up. Miss Epps is one of Newberry's most charming young ladies and it is with regret that her friends and associates see her leave. Saluda's Opportunity. Saluda Standard. Saluda has before her a great opportunity. We have for some time contended that much trade that goes to near-by railroad towns could be brought to Saluda, and that this could be done by our merchants laying in such stocks of goods as would warrant the people to reasonably expect to find what they would want here, and then advertising the fact sufficiently to let them know it. Whv they have not done this is a mystery, since every thinking man knows I hat judicious advertising pays but we will speak of advertising in another editorial in another issueFloods have cut off some of our people from Newberry and Chappells, temporarily, except by "flat," and to our mind there is now presented to the business men of Saluda and vicinity a wonderful opportunity to prove to these good people that they can find right Jjere practically everything that they have been going t<> Newberry for. There will be plenty of time to prove this, for, even if the bridges are ever rebuilt, il will be <|tii!c a time before that is done, and meantime many people would prefer coming here rather than crossing the river on a flat boat. Then, even if the bridges should be rebuilt, if Saluda shall by that time have proven to these people that she can more nearly supply their needs than they had thought, there is no doubt that much of that trade can be held here permanently. This is the proposition. Will Saluda arise to the situation? Tf can be easily demonstrated thai Saluda can sell goods as cheaply as Newberrv. \V<> can prove that this is being done right now. So, if our business men want trade, let them put in the goods and bid for il. As to the Bridges. The following appeared in the Newberry Herald and News of An 28: "A meeting of (lie citizens wi * held in the chamber ol* commcr* rooms yesterday afternoon to tal into consideration what is best to 1 $ done in view of the steel bridge ov< . Saluda river having been waslu 1 away by the freshet. [ "It was decided to anthori/.e Si , pervisor J. Monroe Wicker to lmi! , the ferry at once, the cost of buih ; ing the flat to be provided by t! , citizens of the town and the salai j of the ferryman guaranteed by tl t chamber of commerce. . "Mr. Wicker estimates that tl . construction of the ferrv will co: . $250. "The following committee froi the citizens' meeting was appointc , to raise the money, which they wi , proced to do at once: John M. Kii ( n?'d. chairman; C. E. Summer, Pi E. Scott, O. IClettner, and W. I , Shelley." This action on the part of New berry's business men shows tin , they consider it more to Newberry , interest than to-anybody's else tlm a way be provided for people to crof ' the river?and in this they are righ ^ (> would take the save position, e: pecially if we were in business then , It also proves that the bridge wsi worth more to Newberry than to on people; tliis we contended from tli start. The action taken by the busine* men of Newberry also shows that tli business they get from the Salnd side is so valuable that they are wil ing to pay for some way to keep i coming! And to this we will ngre< whether it be a question of flats a bridges?let them pay for what (lie want/ The editor of the Standard hn , been in this country practically twei ty-one years. Up to the time thsi Saluda county was formed and court house town was an assurance we were a part of Edgefield count? and we remember that there was a occasional agitation on this side fn bridges, but Newberry county di not seem anxious to help us much. I we are wrong about this let the New berry papers prove it by quotation from their files?and we'll stan corrected! Rut after our court lions was established, and there arose possibility ol business houses her taking trade that had been going t Newberry, then business interests i Newberry aroused public sentimen over there in favor of free bridge: and their Supervisor bowed oben a nee! We took this position once before and The Herald and News could fin nothing authentic to meet us witl and so Rro. Anil classified us, lai us away, and labelled us, "narrow. Now, if there is any proof of as muc interest at Newberry in favor of fre bridges before Saluda county wa formed as after, then we await it product ion! Narrow? Ts il narrow for us t speak in the interest of our people Ts il narrow for us to talk busines for the business men who ought t be a help to us? Ts it narrow fo Newberry's two excellent papers t do all they can for the business in terests of Newberry ? Then, if tha he narrowness we are narrow in tha sense, for as long as we remain in tli newspaper business we are going!" t take a stand for these people, an that in the very face of the fact tha some of them do not appreciate on efforts as they should. The Financial Situation. Saluda county is behind. "She ha to borrow money every year to rn on?several thousand dollars. On taxes are already high. Our crop are short, and the indications do nc point to an enormous price. No us to flatter; the plain truth i?, thi country is in a bad fix. Tt wi be all that we can do to attend t internal affairs. Let's leave th bridges and ferries on the lin streams to those who make so muc money out of them, and let our pe* pie arise and realize I hat now is Si luila's opportunity. Will she grasp it ? They're All Like This. A young and pretty school leachf once asked her class for an oruiiii definition of the word "wif'\" "A wife is a rib," said one littl girl. i "Wives are guiding stars," sai another. "A comforter," said a third. "An inspiration," said a fourth. Altogether the definitions wer rather prosy and commonplace, br finaaly a child of eleven, smilin archly, said: "A wife is a person for a myn t find fault with when things c wrong. "Good!" cried the pretty tcache laughing. "Good! That is the be: i'definition of all, the best, the trv The Warn je MIMNi I HAS RETURNED [[ '* New goods pouring in.
