That was several days ago. It is nearer now and will be still nearer next week. Saturday afternoon while it was warm and cloudy in Newberry we were reading of 45 inches of snow in Den ver, Colorado. Holiday excursion rates would be terribly mutilated it" some newspaper guy came along and took the e from j rates. The ladies aid society of the Church of the Redeemer will meet with Mrs. A. R. Boozer, in Glenn street, on Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. A man in Atlanta lias given his wife one dress and one pair of shoes in seven years. In Xewberry so:ne men give their wives seven pairs in one year. A hot supper will be given at .Julapa school house on December 12. from 4 to 11 p. m. The public is cordially invited. Do your Christinas shopping early. ?Dorchester Eagle. Excellent advice. That's what The Herald and News is i trying to get the Newberry people to do. Bear in mind the bazaar by the ladies of Central Methodist church in the vacant store room opposite New4 berry hotel. (Friday afternoon and night, December 12. Correspondent Kingstree Record gets off "Cupid's curious capers culminating in conjugal conjunction.'' This also takes place in Newberry every then and now. Don't forget the bazaar by the ladies of the iA. R. P. church in tiie vacant storeroom in Main street between the Lominick stores, Wednesday, December 10. Dr. J. G.

Jim Squirrel, a colored man in Maryland, was killed last week and a man named Robin had just completed a pentitentiarv term in New York for bank wreckage. Nothing in names.

At the State convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Edgefield last week, memorial services were held and touching tributes paid to the memory of the late Mrs. James A. Burton and other departed members. The farmers of this section seem to realize the fact that corn will bring a fancy price next spring and are planting heavily in oats.?Dor* Chester Eagle. That will mane the Chester Eagle. That will make the the health and prosperity of the land. The town is demoralized this week with a carnival. The license of $11.00 was paid however, and it is not likely that the show people will carry off any large amount of money from St. George people.?Dorchester Eagle. That's the way that one looks at it. Use the v Red Cross Seal. These Christmas seals are not good for postage. They will not carry any mail matter, but any kind of mail matter will carry them, says the ruling. People ought to use them. See at postoffice. Postmaster W. A. Hill urges patrons to be prompt and careful in handing in packages. This is important. The postoffice people want to accommodate the public, and the public should have some consideration for them during the rushing season. Several of the boys went possum hunting Saturday night and had fine luck. Instead of catching one, they kept on till they had a sack full. The whole country is full of possums.? Smithville cor. Bennettsville Advocate, 4th. Who wouldn't like such a country? An item in last issue about the millinery of Miss Smith could read in different ways.

Hope the Eagle will blow the bugle and keep aloft the signal so that the farmers may rally to the standard. ! < In Summerville it is James Henry. Here in Newberry it is John Henry. James Henry Rice, Jr. is the game warden for the State and has authority over migratory birds. John henry has no authority over migratory but "one of him*' has authority over "migratory" and several other kinds of men. Did you ever stop to think how high it made Newberry stand to furnish the president for the Baptist State convention? The convention wanted Col. W. H. Hunt to remain at the head. And how high in financial circles with President John M. Kinard of the State Bankers association? And Newberry has other presidents. When Dr. W. G. Mayes next springgets into his new quarters just across the way from his present stand his drug store will present a confmanding appearance. Remodeled it will be an imposing building. It is on a .... 1 1 .1 /-.n^nni. o *1 H ic O 5nlptlfiid \?tiUcii?itr i.;ui nci . place for a drug store. Dr. Mayes \vas wise and lucky in buying it. Good advice is to look up. When you are out of sorts, all sorts or any sort, look up. Always look up. On this occasion walk from The Heraid and News corner in the direction of the Methodist church. When opposite M. Q.Chappelfs store look up and se<? the handsome letters 011 the windows of K. I>. Reid's insurance office. The Rev. J. Henry Harms. D.

In true friendship, said Dr. Harms, these tin o eieii.v :its .e found. re f ] gardless of the manner of expression. |?The State's report of address at I Elks memorial service in Columbia I Sunday. iMrs. Colin Cook demonstrated t'.:e range at the Newberry Hardware ! store last week in her best style, and those of the public who had the pleasure nf saninline the fine c off 00 a ; handed them by her enjoyed the same "ever so much." Mrs. Cook says she is ready to bake pound cake for people when they want it for the Christmas season. Anyone going into O. Klettner's store and looking at Mr. Klettner's desk will see what one would "de1 clare" to be a partridge on the desk, but which upon closer inspection turns i out to be a small sweet potato, which i was grown by Mr. W. A. McSwain. It bears as perfect a resemblance tc | a partridge as anything of that kind 1 could possibly bear, and is a remarka I ble production and curiosity. At least The Herald anl News man saw it there Saturday afternoon and that was how it struck him. j People stop to look in t{ie windows of Mayes' book and variety store? the house of a thousand things?and | they see something pretty when they look. The display is enough to make a child's eyes water, just as a watermelon patch "makes the mouth waj ter.'' John Mayes knows how. We I don't feel like describing the windows in their beautiful and tasteful arrangement and display. There are all sorts of designs and countersigns?and jgood signs of Christmas?in tjiose j windows. See for yourselves. j The largest^ and best poultry show ever held in South Carolina came to a close at Darlington with a recordbreaking attendance.?Darlington paper. Yes, and of the 1,200 birds Mr. ( J. A. Burton took prizes for first and second, cock, first, second and third : cockerel, and first, second, third and j fourth pullet, and Dr. W. E.

Beginning on Saturday next, the i 13th present instant, instant. Newber1 ry hotel Manager Chas. P. Pelham will : operate a cafe at the hotel. Mr. Charlie Pelham is personally known to practically all the drummers in the , land, at least that is what the reporter ,used to think at Laurens while sitting | in front of the Bendella of nights and listening to crowds of drummers talk, mentioning C. P. Pelham. They and other people will be glad to hear of this new cafe as they know what it means ! at Pelham's best. As the 13th has i changed to a lucky number we hope the cafe will be a success.* Miss Mary Wall, the talented teacher of the beautiful domestic science class of the high school, had a group picture taken at the studio of 0. &. j T. E. Salter Saturday afternoon, after ' she and her class had entertained the institute in Xpwbprrv at a ! "delightful*' luncheon in the school j building. The reporter happened at ' the studio during the time of the "grouping" and he beat a hasty retreat at "too much bevy of beauty" so suddenly, forgetting what he went therp for. You have heard of the fel1 " ? 4rr\t> r OAmnf Viincr : 1U VV VV.ilV 1 ctll SU 1C13L uum that "he is running yet." Well, that's , what. We know the teachers enjoyed i and appreciated the repast, and were j pleased with the accomplishment of ithe domestic science class, and we also know that the picture of the group will be beautiful, even as the originals are,. It takes those Salters to add i j beauty to beauty. I Santa Claus, alias G. L.

I I The teachers' institute, which was held in Newberry during Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week, was ' attended by the teachers of the county, i and all of them seemed to enjoy the occasion.

Building a bridge to get to the ferry when the water will ; be all over the bottoms a mile wide janrl twenty feet deep across The-chan! nel of river. What will propel the jflat or boat?
