A visiting Hudson stripped car took a plunge in the limpid waters of Scott's creek Wednesday afternoon. As the car was stripped the temptation to take a Hath was simply irresistible, and so strong was the inclination to stay in the water that a team of mules was re quired to pull it out upon the beach. And j then not having on as much as a bathing suit, possibly it was too modest to come out of the water after the crowd gathered. Mr. B. A. Havird has a car load of mules fresh from Kentucky by express, the kind that you have not been seeing in Newberry. You will find them at his ! stables in rear of the court house.
