There are on Mr. David Pitts' place near Trinity three cases of smallpox. The business houses and the public became better and more widely ac quainted Friday afternoon. It was a grand week. It whetted an appetite and created a thirst for more. It has just begun. Mr. Henry Havird has opened a pressing club over his store inr Main street. Those automobiles receiving honor able mention Thursday afternoon de served it. -Pink Dorroh was made to pay $5 in mayor's court for using profane lan guage at the union depot. Mrs. J. C. Adams found a lost Red Man's pin which the owner will re eive by calling for. There were several other attractions in the trade's parade that were worthy >f prizes. Next time there will be more prizes. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Church f the Redeemer will meet with Mrs. Robert Caldwell on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. It pays to advertise. Each firm tak ing part in Friday's trade display will receive benefit and reward. The crowds lining the streets took notice. Elvira King, a colored woman who worked for Mr. R. Y. Leavell 20~ years ago, died at 11.20 o'clock Sunday night. Mr. Renwick Carlisle has caught an other horning pigeon. This one has 60,404 P. B. on one band and G. S. on amother band. The tradies pageant Friday after noon captured the public. It was great, but is nothing to what it will be next Chautauqua week, judging by the talk. Mr. F. V. Higgins, the poet laureate f Newberry, was- in the city Monday xhibiting an egg with a handle like unto a gourd. Dr. James P. Kinard, of the class' of '86, will deliver the annual address tomorrow night at the Citadel com encement in Charleston. Tbe judgment of judges has to be concurred in ;by the public after races, arades, etc., but this scribe wouldn't i a judge at a baby show for big money. Next June Chautauqua week is go ing to be gigantic. The trades' dis-I play Friday afternoon fired an enthu sm that was already bubbling to th.et ighting point in that direction. Mr. T. G. Williamns, and Mr. R. L. Werts, of Saluda county, were in 'New erry yesterday hunting some viola tors of the whiskey law, who had es caped from that county to Newberry. Capt. W. S. Langford, on Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, liberated about. 1.00 homing pigeons, from the hill in rear of his home. Their destination, Lancaster, Pa. Without any reflection whatever on anyone, if a lady can appear on the streets in the garb that fashion .dic-: tates, in the name of common sense it is hard to understand why a gentle ran can't appear without his coat. Some of the antniste in the parade1 Thursday afternoon deserve credit for not exceeding the speed limit, as no doubt it was hard for one or two of them to keep themselves under con trol. j That ox of Mr. J. H. Wicker's in the Farmers' Oil Nill po-rtion of the procession had on a wise look that bespoke a conscious instinct of letting it be known what was good for ant mals to eat. Say what one may about going in shirtsleeves there have been seen on: the streets of Newberry men without their coats who are gentlemen and men with their coats on who are gen tiemen. The majority of men in New berry are gentlemen, with or without coats. The delegation had as its leader on the floor A. C. Jones, of Newberry, and at all times Mr. Jones was active for the good of the organization and I was a nember of several important committees in the convention.---E. D. Sallenger in News and Courier on Na tional T. P. A. convention.. That colored citizen of Newberry who the other day mentioned ,:o a Herald and News man that a certain speaker was a silver-haired orator must think that it answers to silver-tongued. The I remark is on an equality with the ad vice of a colored woma.n when ehe told this same man to take something for his indigestion before it got to be chronicle. The world do move some. Friday afternoon's parade was a fit ting climax to a successful week. The people turned out en masse and ev erybody felt good. Even the pessi mists took on an optimistic look. This scribe felt like taking his little 15 to 30 cents and beginning a deposit in Kinard's bank. The public square was filled with beautiful ladies in auto niobiles and buggies, making beautiful turnouts, and from the ground to the entrance of Mr. D. R. Lavender's mov ing picture place there was a crowd of pleasant people assembled. together. The winding up was executed in grand style. TO THE FAR WEST. Will Visit Relatives and Also Witness the Great "Civic Celebration of Minnesota." Miss Lucile Dickert left Thurs4lay for Union, wheire she, with Miss Kate1 Dickert, will take the Carolina Spe cial for Minneapolis, Minn., on a sev eral weeks visit to her sister, Mrs.. Wells. Thiey will be present at the great civic celebration of Minnesota, to take' place in the first week of; July. This, as the great Barmum! ould say, is to be the greatest out-* door show on earth. It is to be a rep resentation of the State's history for the last one hundred years or more.. The street pageant will be miles in length, andi for two days the State's progress will be enacted upon a stage. erected in one of its parts onehude and eighty feet in depth, by three hun dred wide. On this will be first seen real In dians from the plains, more than one hundred, of all sizes and seves, at their daily avocation, 'erecting their tepees, making baskets, and fashion ing their bows and arrows, etc. Then the coming of the first white men, and missionaries, with the great explorer and Jesuit priest, Father Hennepin, at their head, the marriage of Hiawatha and Minnehaha, the poet ic tri.umph of Longfellow. A runner comes then with the news of Napoleon's sale to the United St.ates,I of the great empire of Louisiana, then the white soldiers, the folding of the tepees and the Indians, with their ponies, fade away in the west. The. times of the Civil war is enacted, with' the home-coming of the return sol diers. Then the influx of immigration, bands of real Germans, Italians, Swedes, Scandiavians, under theI banners of their r'espective countries, with a Jewish priest tt the head of all. Minneapolis is prieparing for over1 ialf million visitors during her week of festivities, and the Misses Dickert will be fortunate in viewing this gr'and display of pageantry and scenic art.

A paper filed in the pension bureau bearing the signature of William Sheeley, was executed before D. I. Ramage, notary public, and the name t of Y. I. Harrington appears as the clerk of Newberry District, South Carolina, at that time. H. K. Boyd was at that time judge of the court of the ordinary for the Newberry District, South Carolina. I have located a silver medal bear ing the name of John Sheeley, a mem ber of Company "L," Palmetto Regi inent, South Carolina, and I am anx ious to send the medal to the rela tives entitled to receive it.

Bouknight Dies From In. juries Received in Fall-A Young Farmer. Little Mountain, June 26.-T. A. Bouknight, a young farmer ,who lives near here, died last night from in juries received in being thrown from a mule Saturday morning. He was starting .to sow peas and was riding a spirited young mule, carrying a sack of peas. The sack became untied and the rattling of the peas on the ground1 frightened the mule. Mr. Bouknight was thrown and in falling bis foot was entangled in the bridle rein. He was jerked about and dragged a good dis-1 tance, being considerably bruised about the chest and head. It is thought that death' resulted from coicussion of the brain. Mr. Bouknight leaves a wife and child. ** * IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH* ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** On behalf of the chamber of comn merc'e, I wish to thank the citizens of Newberry, city council, Chief of Police Bishop and the police force, the city water commissioners and Mr. H. W. Schumpert for the valuable service: rendered the association in making the first Newberry Chautauqua a-great success, and last, but not least, The Newberry Herald and News for the firee use of its columns, and the va rious prz.ss notices in out of town papers, and also for the splendid dis play of taste in the p-'inting, and the general get up of the Chautauqua booklet. As the president of the chamber of commerce, I wish to thank. all of the committees for their splendid work. I: feel that the success of the week was due largely to the untiring efforts of1 these committees. It is certainly very gratifying to me and to the members of t'he association to see the people of Newberry united in an effort for the up-builing of the city. We feel that the influence for good derived from the excellent entertainments of: the past week will be felt for many years. We know now what a united people can do. It is my earnest de sire that we will all be big and strong enough to rise above the petty jeal usies and selfish ambitions, and in the future be a united people, with one great ambition, and that one a bigger Newberry. John B. Mayes, President Chamber of Commerce. Negro Shot at Chappells. It was learned 'Monday that there. was a row on Sunday at a negro church near Chappells, and that Char [ey Leak shot another negro through the body dangerously, if not fatally, wounding him. He was taken to the .ospital in Columbia Monday for tet Luther League. The next regular meeting of the; Luther League will be held at the par sonage on Thursday evening, the 29th inst., at 8.30 o'clock. All members. their friends and oth ers interested, are wanted to be pres ent. Miss Louise Hipp, Secretary. NEGRO KILLED AT CHURCH. Gordan Hodges Shot to Death by An. drew Pratt in the Maybinton Section. Gordan Hodges, a negro who lived on Mr. Berry Richards' place, in Maybinton, was shot and killed by An drew Pratt, a negro from Union coun ty, on Sunday. Coroner Felker and Deputy Sheriff Pope Buford left Mon day morning for the scene of the tragedy. It was stated that the dif ficulty occurred at a negro church in that comnmunity. It was impossible on Monday to as certain 'he facts or the cause leading up to the difficulty. . Young Sachem. Mr. John Henry Baxter, who has just been elected sachem of Bergell tribe, No. 24, I. 0. R. M., is probably the youngest .member of the order in the State, possibly in the Union, that has ever been elevated to this highest office in the local tribes. He has the knowledge, the executive ability and the eneregy to make a successful pre siding officer. Connected with various organizations he leads an active life, is public spirited and progressive, and i4O having risen to honorable position In the -tribe and in the community" so ear ly in lifie-he 'has only quite recently attained his majority-on :accunt ofI steadiness of purpose, application and other good qualities of character he gives promiAse of reaching and holding a place in the front ranks of the busy men of Newberry. M.ay the tribe in-. crease. Some Smart M~en in Newber y. When it is known that Bryan holds spellJbound audiences numbering thousand upon' thousand, with the power of hbis eloquence and 'his mnag netism, it is laughable to reflect that it is reserved for a few in way down here in Newberry to say that he did not come up to expectation. Shades of all the departed and of all yet to depart. What a revelation. After Bry an left Newberry and got into Geor gia ge spoke in Atlanta to an audi ence of four thousand people. The Journal says that half of that mighty throng rose to greet him with a great demonstration. Everyrwhere the great est living American goes. he is accord ed the highest tributen. A town is honored by the presence of such a man as Bryan. Men like Bryan are few and far between. The presence of Bryan is an inspiration and a bene diction, whose influence will linger in t-he place. Many in Newberry are bet ter men since Bryan came and spoke to them. And yet, this great man, this good man, whom the crownedI heads of the whole world have been delighted to honor, and upon whose words millions have been eager to hang in rapt attention, and whose counsel is *mighty, comes to Newberry and leaves without being heard or seen by many who could easily have seen and heard him. It was an opportunity f a life time and those who availed themselves of it are glad of it. There must, of necessity, be many who re gret their failure. OFF TO TOURN~AMENT.
