Want to Relieve Wants of the Needy In Newberry as Far as in Their Power. Some time ago a committee was ap-1 pointed by Newberry lodge, No. 1103, B. P. 0. Elks, to confer with the min isters of Newberry in regard to pro viding a Christmas tree for the needy of Newberry. This committee held ai meeting with the pastors, and it was the opinion of the preachers that the needy could be betterreached in oth er ways than by the Christmas tre-. 'The committee. then, acting upon thfis1 opinion of the pastors, requested the pastors to furnish a list of all the needy of whom they knew, and tiae ministers are, of course, gladly do'ai so. Such help as the lodge is able to give will be given, and all who know of any poor needing help are reques ed to notifyv this committee, composed of Messrs. Frank R. Hunter, Fred. H. Dominick and C.

Fair's Recollections. It is interesting to those who lived in those days and should be even more interesting to those of the younger generation to know something of theii town and coun.ty in the olden day-. Judge James M. Crosson, who former ly edited this paper, and who non lives in Texas, for several years fur nished The Herald and News a series of articles giving his recollections dealing with men and places and ev ents of many years ago. Mr. Cros son's letters were always entertaining and valuable, and were eagerly read. It is the purpose of The Herald and News to seek to secure from others their recollections of the town and county of Newberry in the drs thit are rapidlv passing from memor. . Much valuable history has been re corded of the town and county, but history can only deal with the larger events. It would be' impossible for instance, for it to deal with the loca tion of the various residences in Newberry half a century or more ago, or the exact location of the business houses, and thousands of incidents of human interest occurring in the town and throughout the county the rela tion of which would entertain those who would recall them and be of value tj those who are younger, and which it would be well to record. With this purpose in view, Col. W. Y. Fair was asked by The Herald and News to give its readers some of his recollections of the Newberry of more than half a century ago, and he readily consented. Of course, Col. Fair was very young at that time. but he has an accurate memory, and his recollections of the Newberry of those days are interesting and valu. able. His first interview deals with the residence sections of the town. In the next issue will appear some re collections from Col. Fair of the busi ness section, and it is hoped to ob tain subsequent interviews with him, and, as stated, with others, deal ing with particular localities both in the town and county and with inci dents connected with the lives of Newberrians of the fifties and before and after. Mr. Fair said that at the period with which this article deals-in and around 1854-Newherry was a veryv small town, but that it was spread prac.tically as much as it now is. The last house in Caldwell street on the right hand side, as one went from the court house towards the edge of the town limits, was that of Solomoni P. Kinard, located in that pa.rt of the city whic*h is now known as Gravel Town. Taking the residences on that side of the street, coming towards the centre of town, the next was tha.t of T. F. Greneker. on the place where T. Q.' Boozer later lived and where Mrs. Boozer now lives, and the next was the residence of Nathan A. Hun teF-the same house in which Geo. W. Summer now lives. This house has been extensively remodeled since that time, however. The next building was the old First Baptist church, the frame structure erected in 1831 and located where the Baptist parsonage now stands. This building was torn down only recently, and the handsome new structure erected on the corne1 of the lot, the parsonage being moved upon the spot formerly occupied by the old frame building.
