Drs. E. Pendleton Jones, J. HenryHarms and George B. Cromer always have their hands full of invitations to make addresses. No city of the size can equal Newberry in the number of , such men who are compelled to turn down large numbers of invitations to make addresses. The death of Mr. George M. Shealv makes the third member of the .Tames D. Xance Camp of Confederate Veterans lost, this year. His death was recorded last week in The Herald and News, but in the list of his surviving children the name of his daughter, Mrs. M. A. Counts, did not appear. After turning down ten invitations to address different schools, the Rev. Dr. E. Pendleton Jones, he on Friday night made an address at the commencement of the Union city schools and on Sunday night preached the commencement sermon for the Newberry schools. The grocery store run by Merchant A. P. Boozer is in a position right now to appreciate a rise in customers, as there is a new little girl at the home of the proprietor and every month calls for just that much more food; and the more customers the easier to get the food.

Rural Letter Carriers Association Held Meeting on Friday in Court House. The Rural Letters Carriers association met May 30, 1913, in rhe court house. The president being absent the secretary called the meeting to order. The following officers were elected to serve for the next twelve months. T. E. Wicker, president. W. G. Peterson, secretary and treasurer. Eugene Hitt, vice president. The association had a small debt which was duly provided for. The following were elected as delegates to the State convention: T. E.

The following resolution was unanimously passed by a rising vote: Resolved, That the Rural Letter Carriers association of Newberry county heartily commend the plan of working the public highways as adopted by Supervisor W. A. Hill, and ask the people of the county to render to Mr. Hill all the assistance they can to make the plan a success. W. G. ePterson, W. G. Peterson, mm A Small Blaze. The fire on Saturday night was, like the last few fires in Xewberry, a small affair. It occurred at about nine o'clock at G. V. Boozer's blacksmith shop and the damage was not u ore than $5.00. Mr. Boozer had just stepped out of the shop to see his drayman, leaving a lighted candle on his desk near the door. On top of the desk was a small box with pigeon .holes in which he kept his papers, with a large calendar running the length of the box. The wind blew the flame from the candle to the papers starting the fire, whioh fortunately at the early hour - was discovered in time to avert a serious blaze, as a fire In that locality could do lots of damage in a little while. Mr. Boozer and his shop hands got busy and the fire company the . same, in a hurry, and the work was done quickly and thoroughly. . Th* Plctnre Shows. It la interesting to watch the rival motion picture shows in their spirited endeavor to catch the public eye and please the public taste. Prize is met by coun.^r prize and , move with move. Now is the Airdome's turn with a meritorious scheme. They are going to have what they vVll call "Mother's Day," and the idea is tnis: to give every mother in Newberry, city and! county, a chance to take, free of' charge, every one of her own children 12 years old and under, to the show. A mother must pay for her own admission, 10 _?ents, but she can take all of her children and it won't cost her another cent.
