I \ WHITES HER APPRECIATION The Firm of Moseley Bros, to Retire After Fifty Years?Have Good Will and Wishes of Community. It is always pleasant to know that some one somewhere appreciates the work you have done. It is nice to letj i.ie livinor that hf? is i (Jilt? iYIiUW w mic lie; 10 ii. appreciated. Eloquent speeches and j kind words and big resolutions and bouquets of flowers can do no good after he has been laid to the final rest. Most of us put off too late the saying | of the things that we feel and think and could say truthfully, but just don't say tnem. The firm of Moseley Brothers at j Prosperity is going out of business after a career of fifty years in the same town and the surviving member of the firm is still a young man. This Arm built up a fine business and had manyj friends among their customers and the community will miss them from I he community life, and then the large' trade which the firm had will miss' them. But we. started to quote a letter which the firm has received from a young lady in Columbia, which is ap-| preciated. Mr. Moseley does not know; the lady and she does not seem to de-! sire any favor, but her letter is the j expression of what she feels. It is j dated at Columbia, January 10, and j runs like this: "It is with regret to know tne business firm, Moseley Bros., is to retire from business after 50 years of a sue-! cessful and prosperous business career, j It all goes to prove what can be ac-j complished when kind, careful atten-1 tion is given one's business. I have) -.isited Prosperity some years ago and, was in your place of business. I know the people of your town regret the firm of Moseley Bros, retiring, but all; wish you a continuous success in what-1 ever business you choose. Wishing j each member of the firm much success \ and prosperity for the future, am am, sincerely." i>Iock Marriage.

KEEP TO THE RIGHT WALKING OR DRIVIXG i Chief Ed Rodclsperger is going to! make an effort to keep the streets' from being blocked and thus make it! easy for all persons to use them. Uhe j law .of the state is that you must'drive; to tht right in meeting any one and the same in walking, but there is no ordinance in the town to t'nat effect,! though there should be. Chief Rodclsperger is asking the co-' operation of the people in forming the1 habit cf keeping to the right. It would! be better for all concerned to do so, in walking and driving, even though! there be no law to that effect. But I - ^ ! seme people have to be made to do things, and e\en then they don't like it. | Now let all the people in town and those who conif to town co-operate with Chief Rodelsperger and keep to the right in meeting people, and if you stop to talk on the street get to one side so as not to block traffic. And, by the way, some one called our attention to the fact t'nat Chief I Rodelsperger is the first native born r>f the city to fill the position of chief | s.LCe the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. All of them came from the country, and it it a mighty good place to come from or to remain ' in.

William Coleman of Whitmiro has received a letter from Mr. E. J.i Watson stating Jiat he is gratified with .; the good reports he nas heard of the condition of the Appalachian highway and that he has taken up with the railroad commission the proposition of I removing the grade crossings at Win- j ders' cut, a most dangerous grade; crossing on the Union side in this road. Mr. Watson says he expects to make a trip over the road soon. I Mr. Coleman also has rrreiveu a letter, from the authorities in Washing- ! ton stating that they have directed Mr.: W. S. Spoon, the senior engineer of public highways in the South, to re-; port at Whitmire to render such service as 'he may be able in assisting in the locating of the road on the Union side, and to especially assist in making the proper grade on the road at the Tiger river, so as to get rid of the nigh grade which is now the location of the road. He is to remain so long as it mav be necessary to do 'hp work ?? - ? ?g r The Union people are making a road^ that is worth while. It is thirty feet wide and wherever possible the grade has been made so as to make a fine road. i Whitmire has again made a contribution to repair certain sections of the road on the Newberry side, and at present the road is in fine condition, but in order that it may be good all the winter it is very important that some more work be done, and to do this some $400 or $500 is needed, and it w-ould be a paying investment for Newber/y to raise this amount. In fact, Newberry did not measure up to her duty in the first instance, and a contribution of the amount needed would be about what Newberry should do in order to equalize the contributions. (We would be glad to see Newberry do ner part. iThis road will be worth a whole lot to the business interests of the town, and a contribution would be a good investment. Newberry surely should contribute as much as Whitmire. Now is the time to act, before the bad weather begins.
