IAnnual January Offering of Talues in Big Department Store. When a merchant takes two pages of a newspaper to tell the people of a sal-e which he is about to inaugurate he usually has something to talk about, and means business. This is the case with Mimnaugh, in this is sue of The Herald and News. Mimnaugh's big annual January sea~ will begin On Friday morning, Jan uary 26, at 9 o'clock. It will continue for ten days. Mimnaugh says it will be the biggest of the many big sales Ihe has pulled off since he has been in business in Newberry. That means something. Mimnaugh's big sales of the past have opened the eyes of the buying public, and his sales are now always looked forward to with inter est and eagerness. Mimnaugh has the bargains, and he is using two pages of The Herald and News today to tell the people about them. He has the goods, and he is ad vertising the big values, and he means what he says. That is a secret of Mimnaugh's success. He secures the bargains, advertises them, and does what he advertises he is going to do. Mimnaugh's ad ought to receive the careful attention of the readers of The Herald and News. 'there are start ling values offered in every depart ment of one of the biggest and most successful department stores in this section of the Carolinas. And remember, Mimnaugh means CHAUTAUQUA FOR 1912. Plans On Foot to Make Chautauqua Week This Year Even More Suc cessful Than Last Year. Plans are now being made for New berry's second Chautauqua week. The first Chautauqua :eek, last .funl, was an unqualified success, and there is no reason to doubt that Newberry's Chautauqua of 1912 will be an even greater success. There were 32 guarantors in the Chautauqua association of last year. Considerably more than a :iajority of these members have already signed an agreement to continue the association for this year arrl to glaraLee the ex penses. The oflicers <;1 last year have been re-elected, as follows: President-Henry Lee Dean. Secretary--John Henry Baxter. Treasurer-John B. Mayes. The association on its first year, with one of the best and highest-priced lyceum attractions, continuing fur a week, came out ahead, and now has about $75 on hand. This amount is subject to the call of the memb-ers for their proportionate share, if they do not desire to continue in the associa tion. Most of them, however, have signed up for this year. If there are any who do not care to sign, however, and desire their share of the profits, they may secure same by calling on Treasurer Mayes. The profits were very small, but the fact that a Chau tauqua on such a large scale made some profit the first year is encourage ment looking towards greater things in the future. Miss J. F. Taylor, who submitted the program of the Alkahest Lyceum sys tem, which was adopted last year, and which proved a big success, has been in Newberry for several days past, and submitted a most excellent pro gram of a circuit Chautauqua course. An advisory committee, consisting of Messrs. H. L. Dean,. E. H. Aull, John B. Mayes, I. H. Hunt, W. A. McSwain and C. E. Summer, was appointed to take under consideration the course submitted by Miss Taylor. It was de cided' not to close the contract until February 1, and in the meantime the advisory committee was instructed to investigate other courses. The Chautauqua lists will be open to new subscribers, according to no tice to be given. IN.ewberry's first Chautauqua week was a big thing for Newberry, and it is expected to make Chautauqua week of 1912 a bigger thing for Newberry. NEWBERRY VR. DAVIDSON. Thrilling name of Basket Ball is Ex Ipected at Newberry College Gym nasium Wednesday Night. On Wednesday night, January 24, at 8.30 p. in., at the Newberry college gymnasium, there will be a game -of basketball, which it :s expected will indeed be a great and inte:rest:.n:r, as well as exciting contes'. Tl.3 D)avdlsor. college basketball teamu will battie with Newberry's 'varsity for the sLi premacy. Davidson has won against some strong teams this year and has a team of good worth. Newberry's var sity has won all games already played. On Thanksgiving day, it will be re membered,, the basketball "five" went to Erskine and won by the score of 23 to 9. On last Friday, a week ago, Carolina went down in defeat in a great game Uiefore the terrible rush of Newberry, to the tune of 27 to 23. Considering the reputation of both these teams, we can scarcely doubt but that there will be a close and in teresting game on Wednesday night. The time of play has been placed at 8.30, so that all those attending pray er meetings may also be able to get to the game in time for the beginning. The following men will play for New berry: Centre-Wolff, (captain). Forwards-Dorcher and Cappelmnan. Guards -Smeltzer and Mayes. Substitute-McFaB Wise. Admission will be only 25 cents. LIQUOR ELECTION DEFEATED. Abbeville Measure Eilled by One Vote in House. Columbia, Jan. 18.-The house to day defeated by one vote Mr. Moore's bill seeking an election for Abbeville county for the restoration of the dis pensary in tibat county. The vote was 50 to 49 on 1. ;ill that had been, unfa vorably repor.'d. There are savvaral counties that ar*e trying; to have these elections on the li'uor questiona and the prospect now is that a general bill will be presented looking to some pro vision for such .election. There was a spirited discussion of the bill, that had come over from last year, but it failed. The same idea will be taken up in the pending bills to provide of such elections in Orange burg, Dorchester, Berkeley, Calhoun THE COMBINATION OF EFFORT. How it Works in the Field of E deavor-The How, Why, When and Where of It.
