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.

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

"A wife is a person for a myn t
