"I desire to call attention to the lib- I E*ral offer of the Commercial bank, J through its president, Mr. John M. tvinard, of sufficient, well-selected, improved corn for seed for each boy who enters the contest. This gives each Doy a good variety of seed corn, which lias been thoroughly tested and im 5 J ic aaiintr qc pro\ eu anu ^ruwu m uuo tuuiuv?, iw j I understand it, which will make it peculiarly suited for the boys of Newberry. "There will be a number of other prizes and they will be well worth the effort of each boy -"n the Newberry club.

These great and now famous musi3ians need no introduction to a Newberry audi-snce. Skovgaard entertained here last season and won a host of idmirers. He is, in the fullest sense of :he word, a master of the violin, and J is able to bring forth pathos and joy, I happiness and sorrow, in a most per-j feet manner. His playing is ind-eed j abov-e criticism. Miss Wright is an attractive entertainer of the first orier. Her sweet, smooth mezzo-so prano is particularly pleasing and will no doubt be a delight to all New-berrians. Miss McClung is the pianist Df the party, and is an exceptionally ?apable accompanist. Her work last rear is remembered pleasantly. The concert will no doubt be the! musical event of the s-eason at New- j berry and the music-loving people j here should take advantage of the j great opportunity thus given them.
