Simon Robinson, an old offender was np before the recorder Monday morning for using abusive language, He pleaded suilty for which the re- i corder gave him some credit and I fined him $2 or four days. Paramount pictures are the highest j class productions obtainable and j judging from the crowds that attend ! _ rhe Arcade, Mondays and Fridays, tney | are taking with the patrons of this popular little playhouse.

In a basKeioan contest oaiuiu^ night at the college gymnasium the Newberry team defeated the Citadel 37 to 19. This is Xeyberry's ninth victory. What's the use to play the, other games? Doesn't every one know who the winner is? Saturday's crowds at The Arcada broke all house records; the pictures were fine and everyone went away I with a satisfied look.

'We did net receive the copy until 12 o'clockMonday?too late to handle for this issue with the other copy we had. Mr. Robert E. Leavell, wno is spending a few days in Newberry with i his family sent us a letter written on the great Lackinaw railroad when he was en route to Buffalo and Niagara and on to Canada. The point of the letter was that he had the pleasure of reading The Herald and News on this journey and it called to his mind i the fact that there was after all no place like Newberry, and surrounded S by al! the beauty of the scenery and the wealth of this great section he longed for the old home. He is the Southern representative of the Casket Hardware Manufacturing company of Detroit, Mich., and sells to the jobbers of the South. LA. copy of the Lincoln Chronicle, a j paper pUDIlSilta Hie lai-ana/ ciaic of Maine, lias been received by the reporter from a friend and brother Odd Fellow, Mr. W. H. Dovette. of Lincoln, Me. In looking through this paper we see a lot of names of people which almost make us believe they ae Xewberry names. For instance. Dennis, wens, rayior, rerrv, v^uam- j bers, Bennett. Greene, Carson. Wilson,: Clark, Hunt, Harris. Cook. Davis, j Gee, Robinson, Xeal, White, Bowers, Caldwell. Lee. Higgins. Williams, Portr, Mclntyre, 'Ward, Hamilton, Burton. Bruce, Sievens, Wheeler. Smith. Adams. .Tones, Richardson, Payne Farrar, McKinney. Brown, Griffin and Johnson. These are good, wholesome.! home-grown names and we venture there is no foreign riff-raff in and ; about Lincoln. Maine. Must Know More Than the Dofir A physician was driving through a village when he saw a man amusing a crowd with the antics of his trick dog. The doctor pulled up and said: "My ijear man, how do you manage to train your dog that way? I I can't teach mine a single trick." I Tho pian elanced up with a simple j rustic look and replied: "Well, you see, its tnis way; you have to know more'n the dog or you i ; ' * arn him nothin.'" j< ^ > ' TWENTY-NINE ( 01 M Y BORROWS MONEY.
