( This is to be a big week in New- i berry, and the two weeks following t are to be weeks of celebration. And of thankfulness. To celebrate the ; 1 ? onno in tVi a t victory our uuvs won u*ci m ?.???- { world conflict, and to be thankful that we are able to do our part in I winding up the business, and to keep our promise to them that those of us ' who remained at home would be faithful, and ..that the work we had 1 to do in this business would be done as it should be. j Wfe should be thankful that the war \' nror anH thot thp rtnlv thine that I we are called upon to do is to lend ! * some money to the government to j finish paying the bills. j We had on Tuesday the movie pic- j * ture showing the price the boys paid for the victory they won, or at least giving some faint idea of what they i suffered, and we had with the picture i _ i Lieutenant i>ozier irom our own state, who won laurels on the field,: to tell some of the things that the r boys suffered, and to tell it as one who saw and knew from actual ex-; perience. On Saturday afternoon we are to ! have a real war tank with some of c the boys who operated one of these i machine 'hen it was in tne ironc, 1 dealing ccath and destruction to the t enemy, and to tell us all about it. The < tank will be on the public square and 2 all the people of the county are wel-j-t come to come and see it for them-! ^ selves. That" is what it is being sent; ^ out for, for you to see and to learn -1 something about it and its operation, j -i And it is to be here on Sunday after- j j noon, or that is the promise, but to be < . sure that you will be able to see it j i better come on &turiay afternoon, j It goesfrom here to Clinton and may,! leave on Sunday at noon. So to make j v sure to see it come on Saturday. * . On Sunday afternoon at the court I c??usq at 4 o'clock there is.ta-be. a~< huge mass meeting of all the people ;f - of the county, so far as the capacity 1 of the building will permit, and all of ; a the people are urged to be here. Dr. js what it was to bare your breast to the d Wright are to speak, but in addition to them, and of more interest to us j; ???et nnw withmit rt<?snarap,fnsr what they may have to say, is the privilege t * of hearing Captain Glenn, a Chester j boy who has seen actual service and can tell us from his own experiences v Cfomer and Col. Hunt and Mayor ( fire of the enemy. Captain Glenn is a son of our lawyer friend Hon. J. L. t Glenn and comes of good stock and _ made a good soldier and has the ability to tell us something of what the war was. Be sure to hear him. g And then we will have Captain El- c liott Springs of Lancaster, a son of q our other friend Col. Leroy Springs, the big cotton mill man and capital-1 n ist, and he was one of those ' air j v men whose efficiency probably had j more to do with the change in the1 j] tide of war than any other branch of! the service. For it is true that until our birds got over there Germany had the ascendency in the air fighting, but as soon as our boys got in the game j the Allies ruled the air and those awful raids on hospitals made by the t Germans ceased. And then Captain ^ Springs is one of the best of the fly- 3 ers that we had, and is one of a very c few who are called aces. And as we c understand the term it means super- j iority not only in handling your ma- s ' chine but also in the matter of fight- i ing the enemy, and he has been dec- s orated for bravery and efficiency. ^ Now we know that you will be in- \ j lerested in hearing these heroes tell j ; the story, so come right along to Newberry Sunday afternoon and get your seat in the court house early, for it is t sure to be filled. r And then after Sunday the ^ committees will go out and get the people to lend the government the money necessary to finish up the job and nav our debts, and we will do even more than has been asked of us t aa we have done in every drive that t: we have had in Newberry. q The apportionment of the amount each township is expetced to lend will be made known on Sunday. Yes, p Sunday, for this is holy work in which we are to engage for the next few days. Many of the boys from here t who went over will not come back any v more. They sleep beneath the poppies b in Flanders field or in the forest of b he Ar~onne or somewhere in that ;acred soil made the more sacred b3:ause of the shedding of their blood. Vnd we must, keep faith with them as .hey kept faith with us. The boy that has come home. We ire glad to see him and home looks jood to him, we are sure: I iome looks him over?ever* one. With rising' joy an' pride; 'It don't seem true", the mother says, "My boy is at my side!

The second train, which will tour Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland, has been designated as "The Carter Glass Special" in compliment to the secretary of the treasjt . ; 4 ury department. Part of the exhibition xwill include every variety of weapon and equipment used by the Allies in the successful prosecution of the war, from rifles, machine guns and hand grenades,-to large calibre cannon. In addition airplane parts will be included in the display. Probably the only arm of the service to be omitted from representation in the Trophy Train will be the tank corps. Arrangements had previously been made by the government to ship "whippet" tanks to various citiss and towns throughout the country as a separate feature. A unique part o?-the exhibit will be the display of naval inventions, perfected under the stress of war needs, and completed only at a late dat2 when the signing of the armistice prevented their introduction into the scheme of modern warfare.

Some say that the cause of Newberry making 4 runs in the 8th inning was the presence of the coeds on the cheering line. Luther pitched a fine game for Newberry, causing 10 of P, C.'s nine to miss the I third pill at the plate. Beckman for P. C. also pitched a good game, causing eight of the Indians to miss the third strike. "Spot" -Shirer made a star catch in the outfield for Newberry. Hitters for Newberry: Shealy. Shirer and Luther.

TABIOUS AND ALL ABOUT The weather has been fine for tjw farmers and other folks as well. - The fertilizer -sales are about the Bame as last year judging from the amount received from the sale tax tags. Maybe it is being used for com and.other food stuffs." Mr. E. J. Green and family have come to Newbery to live. They come from Tennessee. ; Mrw. Green was connected with the Y. iM. .C. A. work at Camp Jackson. They are welcome in * 1 f Vl Ci' Will O cur town mm ?vc uupc mvj ?.?.? ?... so pleased that they may become permanent residents. They are living in High Point. Some one asked us to name some cf the aldermen of the town the other day and for the moment we could not. The town has been so quiet recently that even the names 6f the city fathers will escape you. Those who own and operate fresh meat markets had better read the resolutions of the board of health now put in the shape of an ordinance and given the force of law. The ordinance is published elsewhere. JVfr. Niell will speak in the A. R. P. church this (Friday) evening and will tell about the breaking of the Hiudenberg line. And what the boys endured and suffered. He knows. He was there. Mr. 'Henry B. Wells made a business trip to Atlanta the early part of the week. The Xewberry boys seem to be playng some good ball this season. There will be a game this afternoon at College park between Newberry and Erskine. It will be a fast game. Go out and encourage the boys fry your presence. The residents along Caldwell street ' J- i j where the cemeni street nas ueeu j built would like to have the dirt that accumulates on the street washed off 'occasionally so that * aere would not i be such a delude of dust all th*> time. It is a very modest request and j we do not see why it should not be j granted. These are nice home keepjers along this street and the'city authorities should cooperate with them. ' It would not take a great deal of water or time. Service will be hold at St. Luke3 Episcopal church by the Rev. Mr. Holmes Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. The Ladies Aid society of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer will meet with Mrs. Leland Summer Monday afternoon, April 26, at 6 o'clock. The fire alarm on Sunday night1 about 2 o'clock came from the residence of Mr. Robert Y. Leavell. The fire started in his buggy which was under the house. Just how it started Mr. Leavell does not know. The buggy and harness were badly burn-j I ed and some damage done to the { house, but fortunately the fire was j discovered in time to save the dwelling. The department responded promptly. Don't forget the mass meeting at the court house Sunday afternoon. It is a holy cause, this thing of raising the money to meet our end of the victory which we pledged our boys to do when they went over seas. They have done their duty and now it is up to us who remained at home far from the roar of the guns to do our part. And we will not fail them in this time. Dr. W. C. Ezell has moved to Spar tanburg and his office here will be in charge of Dr. E. C. Pierce, who is a partner of Dr. Ezell. We regret to note that Dr. Ezell has left us but we extend a cordial welcome to Dr. Pierce. Dr. Pierce comes from Greenville and was for several years with the Globe Optical company and is a young man of pleasing address and experience in his profession. He has the ^me offices that were occupied by Dr. Ezell in the Exchange Ronl' KniMirnr ] iVUli Ui AVAlilQ \ Chairman John M.
