One of the saddest and most un usual funerals in the history of thi city was that held Sunday afternoor at 3:30 o'clock, conducted by Dr. J. V. Wolling when the preeious little forms of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. Epps twin daughters were laid to rest in the same little white casket beneath a mound of flowers and in the pres ence of a number of sympathizino friends. Mary and Elizabeth Epps were the infant daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. Epps, being just about nine months old, and their deaths occurred within a few hours of each other. Dr. Walling in speaking of these children said they were the most interesting pair he had ever known. They werE so sweet and pretty and so dear tc the hearts of the bereaved family that all the community sympathize. with the -heart broken father and mother, grandfather and aunts, whc loved the little babies so ardently and who feel so lonely now tha:t they have been bereft of them. In theii hour of trial it will be sweet tc them to remember: There is no death! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with sileni tread; He bears our best loved things away: And we then call them "dead.'' He leaves our hearts a-ll desolate, He plucks our fairest, sweetesi flowers; Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bowers. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life-there are no dead. Petit Jurors for Common Pleas Court G. W. Stockman. B. L. Dominick.

FESTIVAL. Will Be Held in Newberry May 5. Floats, Carriages, Automobiles, Followed by a Bazaar. Every place has had its festival and now Newberry's opportunity is presented to fall in line and become fashionable, at least, if not famous in this line. However, it is to be hoped that the bazaar and May festival which is on hand for the first week in May will be a decided success and one of which all Newberrians will justly be proud. The cause which undertakes this enterprise is undenominational and yet one which. is dear to the hearts of all the people, the good and ear nest workers of the W. C. T. U., and their friends. It is proposed on Wednesday, the 5th of May, to have a grand parade consisting of floats, decorated vehi cies, and anything else that will add tone, beauty and attractiveness to this parade. The members of -the W. C. T. U. through the chairman of the decorating committee, Mrs. E. M. Evans, ask that every merchant in town and every business concern, join in and provide a float or some kind of attractive display and make this pa rade the prettiest and the largest ever seen in Newberry. The floats, carriages, automobiles, buggies, etc., are all to be trimmed in whatever the owners choose but it is suggested that the use of crepe paper combined with flowers and other nat ural floral decorations will be the most effective. Then, too, it is ear nestly requested that no empty floats or vehicles appear in the parade, but that each one be occupied by ladies or children or men or boys and in this way add a real personal eharm to the occasion. During the few days following the parade a bazaar and May festival will be held which promises to be one of the most elaborate affairs ever given in the city. Full particulars of this will be given later or perhaps in this issue of The Herald and News. The committees and such. data as that has already been published. EPWORTH LEAGUE. Prof. -W. D. Roberts, of Tatum, S. C., Will Address Epworth League 'Friday Night. Prof. W. D. Roberts, one of the foremost educators in the State, will be in Newberry the last of the week, and on Friday night he will make an address at the meeting of the Ep worth League of Central Methodist Churo-h. All the members of the league are urged to be present on that even dially invited .to come out and hear Prof. Roberts and spend a pleasant evening with the Epworth Leaguers. In addition .to Prof. Roberts' ad dress there will be a literary program arranged, consisting of music, songs, and recitations and perhaps a recep tion afterward so that all can meet Prof. Roberts. The evening will be in the hands of the social and literary committee of the league, and it will be interesting to note that Prof. Roberts is the third State Vice-president, and therefore State chairman of the Literary and Social Department of the league. Harmon-Workman. On l-ast Thursday afternoon Mrs. Adalaide Harmon and Mr. J. M. Workman were quietly married by Rev. R. S. Latimer at his home at Smyna. This marriage was very much of a surprise to most of the people in this community, and the wide circle of friends which both of the contracting parties have wishj for them many years of uninterrupted happiness. Mrs. Workman, as Mrs. Harmon has lived in Newberry a number of years and she has taken an active part in everything that was for the good of the town, and was most ac tive in her work and zeal for the ause of the W. C. T. U. She is pos sessed of a bright, happy disposition and is a very intelligent lady. Mr. Workman is one of the coun t's best and nost prosperous farm ers, and he is to be congratulated on t'he bride he has won. A Picnic. The public is cordially invited to attend a picnic at St. Phillip 's school house Saturday, May 1, 1909. And now he wanders through the South, A nomad on the earth, And none suspects zhis family Is not of gypsy birth. He finds a hamlet now and then Where sentiment is right, But his experience has been: It's not worth while to light. -Loisiana White Ribboner ORATORICAL CONTEST.

Whereas, God in His all wise provi dence has seen fit to take from the Baraea class of the First Baptist Church of Newberry, their beloved brother and co-worker, Brother Leav ell, therefore be it resolved by the Baraca class of Clinton First, That we extend to them and his loved ones our heartfelt sympa t.hy in this hour of sorrow and com mend them to our Heavenly Father, who doet~h all things well. Second, That while in the untimely death of their brother they have sus tained a great loss, but that their loss has been his gain, for as his spir it winged its flight to its home above, the Master whom he had so faith fully served here below received him to is loving bosom with "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord.''

A Great Bill Scheduled for this Week.-Go Out and Enjoy Your self.-Costs But Little. Th-e Amus-U-Theatre has sehed uled a great bill for this week. In fact the management of this house has secured some wonderful attrac tions for this week. This is the sixth week for this lit tle vaudeville -house and it is under stood that it will be -the best of all. Mr. Epting has succeeded in working his split work, that is, giving the pa trons of this theatre new faces every -third night, and also giving an entire change of program daily, which will apply both to the vaudeville and to the motion pictures. There is also an increase in the lengbh of the pictures for instead of presenting 1,000 feet of life motion pictures, the management will place before the eyes of the public 2,000 feet at each performance. This theatre, as the people who at tend can readily see, has been giving some grand shows, and every effort is being made to please the public, and establish a great place for amuse ment in Newberry. Within the next few days electric fans will be installed in this theatre and it will be made a very comfort able place for the people of the city to spend a few hours enjoyably. ' Now, everybody who likes fun and a good time, join the crowd that at tends the Amus-T-Theatre. SAYS HE WAS THERE. Mr. A. H. Kohn, of Prosperity, Says He Has History Bridges Inci dent by Capt. Whites. Prosperity, S. C., 4-14-'09. Editor The Herald and News, Newberry, S. C.:-I have read with a great deal of pleasure the articles of Col. Keitt 'and Mr. A. L. Wyse. While not an active participant in the deal I was present and saw the transactions and carried the note to Col. Haskell at Democratic h-eadquar ters when it was made known that Bridges had consented to be sworn in in the Wallace House. A few years before his death at my .request Capt. Whites wrote out a history of the deal or transaction and at some future day I expect to publish the same. I am glad to get this additional in formation for use in connection with Capt. Whites' narrative. Bridges was kept a prisoner in the Mansion House for fear that Tom Keitt and Mackey's thnehmen would get hold of 'him and persuade him to go back to the Mackey House. It is 'to be regretted that a full history of this transaction was not written before all, with one or two exceptions, of the active participants, had died. There are enough living as yet to tell -the story of 'how South Carolina was saved and how 'the Wallace House was made the "de jure'' as well as the "de facto'' -the House of Rep resentativ'es.
