I the same issue of The Herald an News there was mention of a forcefi sermon by the Rev. Edw. Fulenwi er, in which Mr. Fulenwider was quo ed as saying that "there were matter which ought to receive the serious a1 tention of the chief citizens," and the "our cities were in danger." Als that "Newberry had reached a crisi * in her history, and it was a questio whether the town would go backwar or forward." He believed that "an t'en men in a community could get tc gether and run out any minister wh would speak . the truth." Turn o: the searchlight i,nd let's see every thing. The clang of the gong sounds lik trolley anyway. "Oakland" is a prettty name for cotton mill. It is harmonious wit Nature and business without bein fanciful. A society for the prevention .c cruelty to animals was organized i Sumter last week. Similar societie are being organized in various sec tions and hospitals built in som counties~of the State. And yet ther is not a city with a finer set of minis ters, physicians and lawyers tha: Newberry; ;One thing, however, th city needs right now is two health ol ficers and a larger or a double boar of health. There is too much wor: for one, as the city is growing-i size as well as in neglected lots, et( The other day one man called an other a squink, and nobody seems t know what a squink is.

Speaking of ne}vspapers, somer pec pie do:'t know that the first nentio of the press was made in the fourt verse of the second chapter of S Mark. Very few people believe that th speeches of the county candidates ha anything to do with the hard blowin a1, Silver Street last Thursday. More than one man hopes that thre representatives will he elected in th first primary, thereby obviating th necessity for a second. In order t do this, vote for the three best me in~ the race.

About 25 youni s. folk, after gathering at Mrs. W. V 1- Hornsby's, arrived at 9 o'clock an were graciously received by Mrs. J a W. White, Miss Annie Smith and Mis: Ammie Taylor. o The first part of the evening wa spent in doors in games and a ver: interesting contest which added mucl -to the merriment of the occasion Then the guests were invited to thi * cool, spacious veranda where seat * had been arranged amid ferns, palmi and other pot plants. Here merr: * conversation was engaged in and de * lightful refreshments were served b: a bevy of attractive young girls. d Miss Mary Frances Pool has beei )f entertainiOg an attrctive bevy oj - Converse girls the past week. This in d teresting house party has had severa n pleasant affairs given in its honor. d Wednesday morning an informa i and delightful porch party was giver 1- them by Miss Mary L. Burton at hei - attractive home in Harrington street S.n interesting feature of the morn -ing and one that afforded much fur .twas a "millinery contest" conductedl a by Miss Burton.' Each of the girls s was given magnolia leaves from which a to fashion hats. A various assortment I of pretty Southern flowers had been y provided and the "price' of each - Ibunch marked. The girls made their )purchases and went to work on their i hats to see who could secure the most - becoming effect for the least "cost." When these "creations" were finished, all proved so becoming to the fair a milliners that the prize, a box of pa per, was cut for by all and won by Miss Link. -At 12 Miss Burton, assisted by ~Goode Burton, served an appetizing lunch. ~IThose present were: Misses Mary Frances Pool, Mary Quarles Link, of Abbeville; Emily Burnside, of Green wood; Mary Smith, of Abbeville; aKathleen Morrow, of Mt. Carmel; Eleanor Martin and Margaret Burton. e On Wednesday afternoon Miss Pool e entertained at a beautiful "heart ~ party" for her visitors. The piazzas Sof this hospitable homne are most at e tractive and it was here that tables -had been placed for heart dice. After several exciting games the prizes, each of which carried *out the heart iIidea, were awarded to Misses Eleanor -Martin, Kathleen Morrow, and Banna IGreen. Covers were laid and little -Misses Caroline Weeks, Sara Wil liamson and Goode Burto~n sed ied the players a delicious fruit course, fol e lowed by cake and cream prettily served in heart boxes. The Pool home is noted for its de s lightful hospitality and the 30 young o girls present on this afternoon re s member this as one of the most pleas ant affairs given there. Again on Thursday evening these chairming Converse girls were the Sguests of honor when Miss Margarei n "nrio entertained the "V Q. club" in] a their honor. The porches and hall Ewere lighted with JIapanese lanterns and seats arranged here where a pleasant time was spent in progressive e conversation. Vases of daisies and d pink roses added th'eir fragrance and g beauty to the rooms and piazza. Sev~ eral of the guests gave selections un piano and violin during the evening. e Late in the evening cream and cake e were served by Misses Julia Lake and e, Goode Burton. o At midnight this merry party ad a journied. taie a number of her iit.tle frie~nds at a birthday party last Thursday - eveanng. A merry time was spent by s these y.oung folk in playing games en e the college campus. At the close of Sthe games a delicious ice course was the one given by Miss Eleanor Mar tin at her home in Main street Friday evening in honor of her attractive - guest, Miss Brown. The guests were welcomed by Misses Annie Young and Annio Ray aid. afr bt 1eiig rofreshed with punch, were Con(ic-led into the I parlor where the hostess and guest of - honor received. The Martin home is well suited and arranged for just such receptions as the one given there Fri day evening. The entire lower floor, artistically decorated, was thrown 1 open to the guests and seats had also been arranged on the spacious veraii das. One feature of the evening was the "touch contest." A large number 1 of articles were placed back of a sheet 1; and each one asked to feel the differ ent articles and then write down all they could remember having felt. This proved a mysterious but most inter esting process. Several musical se lections added to the pleasure of the evening. ' A delightful time was spent by the large number of young people who en joyed this charming affair. Late in the evening a delicious ice course was served by a charming bevy of young girls. Miss Eleanor was graciously assist ed in receiving her guests by her mother and sisters. 31EETING AT SILVER STREET. Fine Barbecue Dinner Well Served. Several of the Candidates Make Speeches. L Those who were not so fortunate as to get to the "cue" at Silver Street on the 4th are to be commiserated; first. ~-ecause they didn't get there, and then some more, that they did not have the opportunity of getting on the outside of the things prepared for the delectation of the inner man. Quantity and quality unsurpassed. If I ever am so fortunate as to own a t hotel I will be tempted to mortgage it for money enough to hire Clarence Pitts for " chef," provided always, I however, that Mrs. Clarence (and it shall be so nominated in the bond) shall cast her eyes over 'each trencher before serving. I don't recall any oc-; casion at which more acceptable ser vice was rendered. What, with snow white covers, silner table ware and the general case~ and comfort with. which we were enabled to assimilate the richiy browned meats we were' hardly, able to reach far enough to pat our complacency. After dinner, though really too full for utterance, Rev. Mann, a candi-' date for congress, addressed the aud ience in a very clear cut and busi ness-like manner.. ISpeeches were called for from the legislative aspirants, which was re- h sponded to by Higgins, of Newberry, to in his usual retiring and somewhat b bashful manner; also by Messrs.; Wyche and Harman, of Prosperity. lu These last two were called with some,T trepidation, and largely as an experi- a ment; and, resulted just about like: t we allowed, for sh'ortly afterward the fr oratorical afiatus, in its effort to t spread over the siTrrounding pre- o cincts, came very near blowing away b the rising young city of Silver Street. in Probate Judge Schumpert, being a a man of good judgment took time by' g the fetlock and got to a place of safe- r ty, leaving "Bishop Leitzsey," his op ponent, behind to report such casual-' tc ties as he saw to be inevitable. The vi Bishop gave some very fatherly ad-' in vice to the voters in regard to what b he conceived to be a judicious line of proceedure for them, about the last o of the month. Judge Chappell, of Newberry, with it: inimitable suaviter in modo stood be- b tween the people* and the common. fa enemy and aade a heroic effort to: shield them from calamity. They will show appreciation of his efforts at the H proper time. . H. As to a Decision in Anderson. Great Sachem 0. Klettner is warm in his praises of the Anderson affair. He says he never was more highly honored or cordially received in his travels over the State than he was on c his visit 'to Anderson last week. But what Great Sachem Kiettner wishes s the reporter to enlarge upon is that B be overheard the remark in Anderson ti that Mr. Jno. K. Aull was not only a Red Man in name, but also in deed and action. It came about from a decision N of the judges, of which committee to. award prizes Mr. Aull was chairman. It was on the awarding of the prize for the best equipped tribe of Red Men. After the decision had been' rendered no complaint was heard. ar Everybody seemed to be pleased. even those who lost in the contest for the wo:-hy itviw of :hs f1'er that it is so difficult to render a decision which t1 will be agreeable to others than the tr reciienTs.
