At the meeting of city council on y Wednesday night. it was decided to r. cut down tw width of' the sidewalk 1- from Gilder and Weeks' durg store, at n the corner ot' Main and College i- streets, to Mower's clothing store, at n the corne rof Main and College streets, to niae feet. This action is taken in order to widen the street te preparatory to the laying of vitrified brick. This will cut down the side w.lk from two to two and one-half feet, widening, the street by so much. dThis is one of the most important streets in the city, and on account of s its being very arrow it often becomes y congested with traffic. While the r. sidewalk is none too wide, it was i- thought better to cut it down in order - to widen the street. When reduced in width, this sidewalk will be about the same width as the sidewalk on the other side of the street. The work of paving this block, and Caldwell street from Main to Friend, will commence on Monday. Some of the material is already on the ground, e and some of the workmen are here d ready to begin the work. d To Go To Greenwood. t Mr. and Mrs. Tabor H.

Mayes' Book Store Now in Holiday Attire-Well Worth a Visit. Prettier th-n evir lfore are" the Christmas windiows a Maes Kwk Store. One window is worth coming miles to see. It I a typical mon scene and a representation of the fa mous "old woman in the shoe, who. had so many children she didn't knol w1:.t ' do.'' Well, there are just about that many "doll children,'' if one can judge by the show windou at this up-to-date store, and Mr. May es knowns what he is going to do with them, too. ~He is going to sell them to old Santa Claus to give to the dear little boys and girls of Newberry who have been good the whole year through, and, of course, that will take in a larger per cent. of that part of the city's population who are the ones that make Christmas a merry, merry time. Don't forget to see these two windows that Mr. Mayes has fixed up. They are beauties and would do! credit to a town twice as large as Newberry. In fact the citizens should really show their appreciation of his efforts by a visit there, as up-to-date show windows are a sign of progress. For fear some might not be fortun ate to see them, however, for the sake of the "shut ins'' a very inadequate description is here given, for we are sure that everyone who can get there will go after their friends have told them of these two windows. The "snow window' is mostly for the little girls though some little boys love dolls too. It is decorated with beautiful hanoing moss .and something' that looks just like snow, and there are plenty and plenty of pretty dolls and then in the midst is this wonder ful shoe just full of dolls and they are all beautiful. Go and see them. The second window will appeal most to the little boys, who have a love for fun and for the things that are to be.'" This is shown by the I -toys selected, guns, steain engines, violins, lanterns, wagons, bells, tools, horns, drawing slates, balls, and trains. Things that a boy loves and which by playing with when little will make him more skillful with when grown. Take your children with you these beautiful winter days to Mayes Book Store and see the direction in whiehi their talents lie by the toys which will attract them. And not the children only but the* ladies will be perfectly delighted with what they will find here in the way of exquisite china, glass ware, and many,' many other useful and attractive arti les suitable for Christmas gifts. If you don't intend to buy; it will make you feel more like Christmas is. coming just to go and see these pretty things that are so attractively fixed up for your pleasure and benefit.

DOG TAD RABIES. :ittle Miss Saluda Belle Blease, Bit by Dog Some Days Ago, Taken to Pasteur. Mr. Euen e S. Blea-se ye%-n!::; re eeived win-d froin the Pasteur insti tute, in Atlanta, that the rabbit which had beenl inoculated from the head of the d.u which bit Mr. Blease , little daughter, Saluda Belle, had de veloped rabies. Mr. Blease left on the first train yesterday carrying his daughter with him to place her in the Pasteur institute for treatment. Little Miss Saluda Belle, who i about twelve years old, was bit -n Friday. November 13, by a dog be longing to a negro, Arthur Wiggings, who lives near the residence of Mr. H. H. Franklin, in the north-western section of the city. The little girl was walking along the sidewalk when the dog ran out from the yard and grabbed her leg, severely biting her on the calf of the leg. It was not thought at that time that the dog was mad, but every precaution was taken. The dog was killed and its head sent to Atlanta to the Pasteur institute immediately. Shortly thereafter Mr. Blease received word from the Pas teur institute that no signs of rabies had been observed, but it was stated that a rabbit had been inoculated and that it would take about two weeks to ascertain definitely whether or not the dog had rabies. Yesterday, as stated, word came from Atlanta that the rab bit had developed rabies. 'The little girl, while she suffered from the bite, has not had any ser ious trouble with it, and was soon out and in attendance upon school, as bright and cheerful as ever, and no danger was apprehended. She was at seo-ol yesterday morning when the message came from Atlanta. Little Miss Saluda Belle is a bright little girl, who has many warm friends in Newberry among those of her own age and all those who know her, and they sincerely hope .that no serious results will follow.

Successful Career of One oi the Leading Merchants of Upper Carolina. Est:iblisin iimelf in Newberri s4teeni ';ears ago. witii a capital oJ fi-, fe hui(red (ullar;. Mr. J. A i?iiiaih laid the 'foundations of Z bu.,iess~ which has steadily and rap ily gown, until he is today one oJ the leading merchants in this sectior of South Carolina. His success hai beene due to his ability and the striel busiess methods which he has fol l>wed-these combined with judi c1loil dvertiing and doing what h i(vertiSes he will do. Mr. -fimnau-h was born in Irelanc t.iry-tfive years ago. He left .th( ;horel Of his native land when lie wa. fifteen years of age. Coming to Soutl J. A. MBINAUGH. Carolina he began work for his broth er. Mr. F. P. Mimnaugh, in Green Ville. Mr. F. P. Mimnaugh moved t Asheville, N. C., Mr. J. A. Mimnaugl going with him to Asheville. Sine( that time Mr. F. P. Mimnaugh hai moved to Denver, Col., whei: he nom lives. From Asheville Mr. J. A. Mimnaugl went to Columbia, where he worked a salesman for his brother,' Mr. J. L Mimnaugh, one of the leading busi ness men of Columbia. Mr. Mim. naugh saved five hundred dollars with which he came to Newberry anc established a business in lower Mair street. He remained in lower Mair street for three years, after whiel time he moved into -the building whiek he now occupies. Mr. Mimnaugh has, since he has been in business, carried well-select ed stocks, which he personally seleets in the Northern markets. By making his own selections and paying casi for his goods, he secures bargains, od which he gives his purchasers the benefit. Mr. Mimnaugh has conducted many large and successful special sales it INewberry, and he will today (Friday, December 4) begin a special sale twhich he says will be~ the biggest sal4 he has ever inaugurated. He has us ed ,four hundred and fifty-six inches of advertising space in The Herald and News this week to tell the peo. pie what he has to offer them, and the .prices at which he will, offer it. This advertising matter has covered four pages of The Herald and News-twc in Tuesday's issue and two today. This is charaeteristic of Mimnaugh. 1He knowns how to push business, as well as how to select goods. HE knows tha.t advertising is one of the most important factors in the success of any business, and, good basiness man that he is, he loses no op.portun ity which presents itself. He knows, too, t.hat newspaper advertising is the kind of advertising that pays. Mimnaugh has friends throughout 'Newbry county and all through this section of the State, and he is always glad to see them, whether they desire to purchase anything or not. The buying public, in search of anything in Mimnnaugh's line-and his line includes everything in ladies' dress goods, furnishings and millin ery, and men's clothing, hats and fur nishings, and many other things-will do well to read earefully Mimua ugh's advertisements and then to go to see for themselves what hie has to offer.
