The man who always ! puts you off is generally the man who of doesn't know his business well. Dr. . th G. W. Connor knows his business and ia he will treat you right. He is one 01 co the most accommodating men in his profession that ever practiced in New- j berry. jbe * * * ai The most enjoyable letter the re- e {porter has read in a long time was.

We have clipped it for re| production in this paper, and it may P] | find its way here. At least the report- a* : er hopes it will. (He has no control ;over the columns of the paper and his t0 | own pieces are often crowded out.) ;sc j P. S. Even the above little piece was fo crowded out last time. C; * * * tli of The Tugaloo Tribune voices a truth S which is evrywbere apparent, when it1 says, "If you want anything done, call i on a busy man ?the man of leisure has n i go time." It is only the busy man who j accomplishes anything, hence because ^ j of his industry and perseverance, the i poor fellow is worked overtime. The ^ man of leisure has no time and hard: working people have "no time" for ^ ; him.?Lancaster News. t There is nothing tmer than that it is the busy man wfco takes time to at- er | tend to matters. The lazy, trifling Jn ; loafers "have no time" for affairs oth- er ' er than those produced by loitering, j spunging and dead beating by which | they defraud busy men of their time , and patience. The loafer may have his ^ place in life, as all things were created for a purpose, but we don't know where or what it is. e ? One of the utmost reediculous things B we ever heard was told us the other! P< 1 day by a dentist of New-. o' i berry in the presence of a!

S : Snmmerland College Girls Entertain in j p< Pleasant Fashion. b< a1 ai iieesville, Feb. 24.?An event much enjoyed by the citizens ot LeesvilleSummerland-Batesburg and the many ^ fjiends of Summerland college last j ^ night was the reception tendered oy the Elizabeth Browning and the Mary Arden literary socities of that institution. The number of invitations V* issued was necessarily limited, but judging from the number present, practically all of these must have H been accepted. The dormitory was brilliantly lighted, and reminded one ^ of the city set on a hill. The chapel, halls and dining room, had been tastefully decorated under the brilliant qi lights; these with the merry crowd of students and visitors appeared as a I dream. There were all sorts of com- j mittees and ushers and receiving lines I and pretty girls, and al! soon seemed to be perfectly at -home and happy. Delicious fruit punch was served in ai ! t - j profuse abundance. At the proper time Uc the doors of the large dining room ! were thrown open and the guests were Sl | ushered in. A very substantial course | was enjoyed. While no formal pro-!1)1 j gramme was rendered, yet as the jol- j j ly crowd were enjoying the social fea- jar j cure, from behind a screen on the i stage strains of sweet music constant-1 ; ly emanated. No one seemed to know j a! | how swiftly time was passing until I th | some one pressed the button and no- j _ I tio.p was eiven that the happy crowd ! ! must separate. Those who were so | I ! fortunate as to attend went away with il ( sweet memories of the way these two j literary socities celebrated the birth.| day of the "Father ojt His Country." " The officers of the two societies jare: Elizabeth Browning, president, iMiss Ruth Long: vice president, Miss jMary Ballentine; recording secretary, iMiss Eunice Whittle; corresponding i < jsecretary, Miss Eoline Monts; treas- j :urer, Miss Lena Mae Usher. Of the jU1 | Mary Arden society the officers are: j b( | Preisdent, Miss Iva Eargle; vice presi- j j dent, Miss Ora Lee Black; recording (Q| ; secretary, Miss Nettie Black; corre- j ^ } sponding secretary, Miss Annette;^' Long; treasurer.

Dr. Snyder is considered one of the j if---: orktors and lecturers in the State, j ul his lecture was rife with truths j warding conditions in this 4and other ,ates, and their remedies. It was infed a pieasuie to have Dr. Snyder ith us and we hope that it may be ir gocd fortune to hear him again on. T^e many friends of Dr. Calhcun,' ofessor of geology and mineralogy ; Clemson, feal that he is to be co*:- j atulated on his having been called ; ? the University of Iowa as profes- j >r of geology and mineralogyj r next summer's sp.ort course. Dr. ilhcun is thoroughly familiar with ie geology or lowa, naving goi mucu j his experience there, and this will J >rve to make his work much more ofitable. We were fortunate in hearing .Frank ixon, of Washinton, I). C., last Sat'day night. He spoke on "The Square eal" and kept toe attention of the idience thiough the entire lecture, e is a very able speaker and all en- j yed the lecture very much.
