Tliese ngures on mneagd !; are based on the assumption that ' grading, culverts, etc., will cost $2,000; 'per mile; top-soil or sand-clay sur- j 'facing will cost $1,500 per mile; and : concrete surfacing will cost $20,0001 per mile. These estimates are based nn averaeres and will not hold good, ! for all cases. Therefore, the figures I !jon mileage stated above are approx imations only and are given for pur' poses of comparison. The above named types of roads are used because they are typical. It is not meant that federal aid will ' be given to building only these types or that only these three types are I recommended. I Newberry county's apportionment '! of federal funds for road building | does not include the funds from thisi i i source which can be had for bridge; , building.

Hollingswortb in Cross Hill Sunday. He tells the reporter an interesting item which is worth giving the readers of The Herald and News. Mr. Hollingsworth 4" nr- -onri hAs lived all these i ' IrO | J Wki O V-W .. - 'years in the same house in which he j was born. This is a remarkable fact. | He is still hale and hearty as well as jolly. Mr. Hollingsworth has nine living children, five by his first wife. !

Bouknight, formerly pastor of the Newberry circuit, and a member of the Junior Order at Mol-! lohon has been invited by the order j to preach the annual sermon, which will be next Sunday, March 30, at 8 o'clock p. m. at Uion church. Crozier j Council No. 147 J. 0. U. A. M. has j been organized for four years and now has 71 members in good stand- ! ing. This council has presented a ' DiKlao fn f Via cnhnAl of \Ta1 ? 1 iiag a 11 u w\j cu^ uv lohon. \ On next Sunday the members will march, to the church in a body to hear the sermon. The public is invited. The J. 0. U. A.

Kinard is arranging to i furnish ice to the people of Pros- j perity and has also in mind serving j the people on the rural routes with their needs in ice and delivering it ai their homes the same as the people in tho towns and cities. That is enterprise on the part of Mr. Kinard and the nooDle in the country should encourage it and lot him know at! once if they desire the service. With' the truck there is no reason why the ' I people in the rur?.l districts should j not have all the comforts and con-; vcnienccs of the people in the town, j He has suggested three routes on! which to make the experiment, Slighs,' Jolly Street ?nd Cook's Mill. It would | be a great luxury as v/ell as an ! economic thing to have ice and would I help to keep fresh butter and eggs , and meats. It would seem that the : people would appreciate this on the part of Mr. Kinard and give him suf ficient encouragement to make the j experiment. - j Dwelling Burned. On last Sunday the dwelling. of L\Ir. Wilbur J. Ringer of the Broad river section of the county was destroyed by fire about dinner time. Mr. and Afrs. Rinj^r had just returned from church and had made fire in' the stove to warm the dinner and were at the dinner table when a fire was discovered on the roof near the stove flue, and before any assistance could be secured or they could do anything to stop the flames the building had been destroyed. Mr. Ringer lost everything and had no insurance, and as he had only recently set ud house keeping, having ' married about a year ago, the loss falls very heavy. He was living in the old home of Colin Graham and it was a very good country home There was no insurance on the house. i either. The fire evidently caught from a defective flue. j !

With a "perfect 36" chorus, a cast of principals which, scored the season's success on Broadway, effective scenery, and a fashion parade worthy 4 of Paquin or Poi'ret, John Cort's musical comedy, "War Bride" which had a long run at the Cort theatre, New York, will open at the opera house heYe on April 2. Mosher and 'Simjpson, proprietors of the Bride Shop in the Cort production, are a riot of laughter by themselves, but when taken in conjunction with that alert pair of eccentric dancers, Pinky and Aloysi'us. the lovely FlojFlo, Mosher and Simp, son's most accomplished mannequir. and Angelina Stokes, who finds that the course of true love never did run . ' j smoothly, the result is a comedy which runs the entire -gamut of amusement. The' story is concerned with a match-making mother; a scheming count whose title is only visionary; Angelina Stokes, in love with a child.' hood sweetheart from Oshkosh but forced into a loveless marriage with the bogus nobleman; the hero from OsiLkuc.h and various others. Angelina Su.' es is brought by her worldly mother to Mosher and Simpson's Bride Shop for her. trousseau. She i? tn hp married to a SDanish Count. whom Mrs. Stokes has not discovered is a counterfeit. Sinc^ her pinafore days Angelina has loved a boy named Billy in Oshkosh, her home town. About the time Angetink jOrders her trousseau Billy secures a position at an extremely modest salary in Mosher and Sampson's establishment " there meets Angelina, who greets him enthusiastically. H.Irs. Stokes orders him discharged when she finds him with her daughter and Billy drowns his hopeless love in a flirtat?tion with Fib-Flo. the vamipitish enrse*-' mode1*. Angelina is heartbroken at this turn in her romance, but the theft of 'her troussean and the / determination of Flo-Flo to give up the idea of marrying Billy becaim he does not love her finally unite the young lovers. It may be added also that "FloFlo"' is adorned with ti:e on.y chorus in the .world which is known to have a sense of humor. Much of the comedy is contributed by the trick hat of Pinky and Aloysius, self styled Sher. lock Holmes and Watson of the piece. For his cast ??Tr. Cort selected Jack Norton. Cordelia Haager,* Sam Howard, Martha Lawrence, Thomas Gordon. .Maude Xolan, Len Leonard. Bet tv Booth, Francis & Ross, Gus Vaugian and the perfect Thirtv-Si'x chorus; also an augmented orchestra under * the direction of Edward J. Howe. King's Daughters.
