Kinard each laid a soft shell egg, smaller and longer than the common egg, and each having a tail which has given it the name of "the comet egg," another of this peculiar shape of curiosity has been put up for inspection. Helena has been heard from. This last "egg" was sent from yard of Mrs. Nellie Davis. It is on exhibition at The Herald and News office, for the doubting ones.

The mouse would crawl to th6 top of the box ,in. which he was hiding and grab a fly "just as easy," repeating the performance at intervals. It was fine sport to watch the proceedings. Fish fry, frolic and fun of fishing getting to be frequent and popular on Bush and Saluda rivers. Dr..Cromer's Address. The annual address at the closing exercises of the Florence graded schools on Friday evening was deliv ered by D'r. Geo. B. Cromer, of New berry. Si:eaking of the address the Florence correspondent of the News and Courier says: "The speaker of the evening was Dr. George B. Cromer, of Newberry college, who was introduced by Mr. J. P. McNeil as "the great W,estern light," not Halley's comet, however. Dr. Cromer made a very strong and eloquent address along educational lines, the subject of his address being "Character Building." Whatever vo ation of life a boy chooses he should never forget what it takes to make a man. He referred to the late hero of the 'Confederacy, Gen. Robert E. Lee, who upon one occasion was of fered a position paying a very hand some salary. He refused the place, saying that he was not competent to meet the responsibilties of such a place. but he was urged to accept with the understanding that it *was not his experience that was desired, but his influence*. Gen. Lee replied that his influence was not for sale. These wet e the kind of men that the world was looking for today, and Dr. romner was very forceful in trying, to impress this "fact upon the parents .nd teachers." Dr. Cromer also delivered an ad ress last week on the occasion of he closing exercises of the St. John reei school at Darlington. Pleased With Newberry. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Lampley, of Norwood, N. C., are visiting their aughter, Mrs. Ethel Thomas, and ther relatives and friends in New erry. Mr. Lampley is astonished at the onderful' growth and many im >rovemerits in this city since he was ere 14 years ago. He says he has ever met more generous-heartedi ~vhole-souied people. even in his cwn eloved Tar Heel State. He says even trangers seem to take delight in howing him courtesies. "So Jellaby always gets a warni elcome home?" "I suppose so. I know his wife al ays keeps him in hot water."-Bal BANQUET AT LITTLE MOUNTAIN. Completion o fNew C., N. & L. Depot. Closing of High School-Red Men's Tribe Instituted. Little Mountain, May 30.-To com meroate the opening of the new de pot at this place, the citizens of the town, headed by the Business Men's club, tendered an informal banquet to President W. G. Childs, of the C., N. & L. railroad, and his office force form Columbia Friday night. At least 300 people of the town gathered to meet the railway men, and shortly after their arrival from Columbia on the late afternoon train, the celebra tion was begun. Mr. W. B. Shealy presided as toastmaster, and the guests were welcomed by the mayor of the town, Mr. W. A. Counts. A very pleasant response was made in behalf of the railway company by Mr. John A. Willis, of Columbiat Mr.. J. B. Lathan, the first merchant of the town, and one of the chief pro moters of thetown,responded to "The business growth of the town." "The Church" was represented by the Rev. 0. B. Shearouse. "The School" by Principal V. B. Sease. Prof. S. J. i Derrick, of Newberry college, whose boyhood home is here, responded to "Little Mountain." President Childs in his usual happy style, replied to several jokes aimed at him during the evening, and also assured the people of his interest in this commu nity ever since he had ridden on horseback over the proposed railway route in 1888. The supper was one of those kinds that only the Dutch Fork people know how to prepare. Cakes, pies, chicken, turkey, pork were served in a free-for-all help-your-self style, and there was plenty. The heaps of delicious edibles on that spread will linger for a while in the menories of those present After several hours of feasting the guests took their de parture on the 9.30 train for Colum bia. About 30 members from the New berry tribe of Red Men came down last Thursday night and instituted a lodge of Red Men at this place with 26 charter members. The Little Mountain high school came to a close this week, ending a very successful session. The grad uating class was the largest in the history of the school.

Two Year Old Child, Playing About House, Lost Life iu Distressing Manner. Columbia State. 30th. Gertrude Isabel, the two-year-old daughter of C. G. Oehmig, died yes terday as the result of burns sus tained Saturday afternoon by acci dentally falling into a tub of hot cook ing oil. Mr. Oehmig, a baker, was absent from home at the time and the oil was for use in the preparation of doughnuts. The child in some man ner escaped the vigilance of the fem ily and wandered to the spot where the oil had been placed. The child's back and limbs were severely scalded. Dr. DuBose was hastily summoned and the child's suffering alleviated for the time, but medical skill proved unavailing, the burns covering so large portion of the body and being of so severe a nature. The news of the little girl's death will be received with general regret, her bright dis-f position making her a general favor ite with all.

As announced in last Tuesday's Herald and News the voluntary con tribution list to reimburse the Excel sior Hose company for wagon which was purchased, was closed on last Thursday at 4 o'clock.

The list is printed again and shows $66.50. Some of this has not yet been paid. It is desired that it all be paid at once, so that the whole amount may be turned over to the treasurer of the company.
