That same Smith Carnival (jompany | is in Florence right now. Mrs. Colin Cook says it's fruit cake too she bakes. Who can hear "Kitmus is tummin' next" and be mean enough to tell the little tQt that there is no Santa Clans, i Mr. W. R. Bradley, of Greenwood, J has been appointd deputy collector under Collector D. C. Heyward. Thf,re have heen so many fatal accidental burnings throughout the country recently. . i The regular services will be held at Clayton Memorial Universalists church, Sunday morning, December 14. Dr. DeLano will officiate. I The .Junior workers of the Church of the Reedeemer will meet in the Sunday school room next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. The fatal burning of Mr. Whitaker s little child recalls other siinilar occurrences here at this season of the year in the recent past. Shop early and save the clerks; sometimes they get tired.?Orangeburg Times :-rc* Democrat. So say we. That cafe to be opened 011 the 13th at the Newberry hotel by Manager C. P. Pelham will of course deal very largely in oysters. Whenever you hear one business [ man knocking another you can safel] attribute it. to jealousy.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Nothing else land a little of that is here. Our usual luck! We once had ? 'possum but no sweet potatoes. Now we own a peck of yellow yams, bul ?- rji-oomnllo Vonrc Vrvv KU JLIUkdl'lK- \jigtynuv .iv,"u. a vl are not the o'nly one. * Speaking of preferential presidential matters, of course there are some people who would rather vote foi president direct through the primaries. Mr. P. F. Baxter has gone to Mountville to begin work on that $8,00C school building?$80,000 as the types once had it and some people believed it, while somewhat festonished. Nearly all the papers are having something to say about carnivals ex hiMting in various parts of the State. The best carnival on the road has been granted permission by city council to be here early in February. "They say" the vaudeville brought here this week was some of Manager Wells best securings. Whenever the reporter can't vouch knowledge he falls back on old "They say" as perfectly reliable authority. .Each individual in the United States is theoretical-y 22 ce::ts richer this year, than last, according to the annual report of the comptroller of the currency.?Being rich theoretically is very unsatisfactory. Tuff ATifl f Vi in cr oftor dnntVion in KJIAOU V/UV <,Ui.UV/1 m Greenville! Thanksgiving's hardly out of sight?and yonder is Christmas right ahead in the bend of the road.?Greenville News. Sounds like Herald and News talk. We know because we are familiar with it. Twenty-five thousand miles of motion-picture films, enough to stretch iround the globe at the Equator, will be the export record of the United States in the calendar year 1913. This is soinsttiing to think about in Newberry. A diphtheria' epidemic in % Suffield, Donn., is attributed to public-school pupils biting lead-pencils which were distributed each day. We have always thought that the practice of changing pencils among pupils was a bad one.?-If this practice is done in dewberry cut it out. The latest joke of the season is the announcement of the New' York police that they propose to enforce the lav,- against speeding automobiles.?Anderson Mail. It must be a joke in Anderson or the Mail wouldn't have said that. How about it in Newberry? It's joke here. Buy some Red Cross seals. They don't cost much, and the money spent that way will do some real good. Most of us throw i.'.vav a good deal . of money in various ways from time to time, and we should not mind spending-a littltf occasionally for a good purpose.?Anderson Mail. This is good advice which we hope will be taken everywhere. Sometimes the reporter forgets a personal or other item; then again, occasionally, if he waits two or three days to write it, he can't make it out from his note book. This is no joke, is not intended as such; it is an actuality. an actual reality?you call it lapsus something. C. B. Martin heads the class that can verify this and tell what 'tis. When Dr. W. E. Pelham, Sr., withdrew from the drugstore business he started a change of movement alone the line. Dr. J. E. Stokes resigned from Gilder and Weeks to go into the store successor to W. E. Pelham and Son, Dr. Geo. K. Hutchinson withdrew from Dr. P. E. Way's tc fill the vacancy at Gilder and Weeks and Dr Geo. M. Seibert, of Sumter, was secured by Dr. Way to take Dr. Hutchinson's former place in his drugstore. / Hot Supper at Jalapa.

I DREADFUL ACCIDENT. j , i The Distressing' and Heartrenderi | Tragedy of burning to Death of L a Little Child. t On Monday evening the terri L : news of the accidental and fatal bin j ing of a little girl in the city of Xe j berry gave the community a sev< " l ~i i- 3 ~~ :i. ^ ; siiuuiv, anu wucii it was icaiucu ? *! it was a wave of sympathy extenc jt.x the fc?rraveii |.a 'Hi!s !. tneir aw " i and sudden affliction. The victim i the cruel flames was little Essie IV | Whitaker. the daughter of Mr. a I Mrs. H. D. Whitaker. The child woi ;! have been two years old this Chri mas. It developed that she was war . ing herself at the fire place alo: '! while the rest of the family were bi ! about the premises, at 4.30 Mond {afternoon, when her clothing caug fire and she was quickly enveloj: 1 in flames. She was a mass of flam being terribly burned all over 1] : body, left side of face, arm and fe I She was attended to as quickly possible and Drs. W. G. Houseal a W. E. Pelham, Jr., were called but however prompt and skilled t ! physicians, nothing could be done e ! cept to somewhat relieve the excr ! ciating suffering of the little one. S _ died at 7 o'clock the same evenir The bupal took place at Rosemo 'cemetery Tuesday afternoon, servi jat the house at 3 o'clock, conduct | by the Revs. J. E. Carlisle and D. Boyd. This is one of the saddest c currences of the year. It throws dark shadow over the hitherto bri? ,approaches of the'joyous Christm season and brings sorrow to a hous hold in the midst of happy anti( i pations of the holidays. The afflict ones have the consoling sympathy : all in tiieir bereavement and distres i ?
