As soon as he can find a "suitable place he will sell a battery for which he has the agency and do : battery repair work. These young folks have many friends here who are ;g]ad to welcome them back to this community.

Brown, Miss Mary Livingston and Mr. Duane Livingston motored to Greenville, and from that city was accompanied by Miss Neva Shaw, to Hendersonville, sn the Chalmers car, totalling 217 miles, all on Sunday. They had a delightful trip and saw beautiful sights, one of the prettiest of which "was the snow-covered mountains. Mr. Gurnie Summer underwent a serious operation Thursday at the ' Columbia hospital. The operation was successful and his father, Mr. ins 15. summer, wno returned nome Tiriday morning:, reported that his son's condition was favorable. Mr, "Marvin Summer went to Columbia Sunday to see his brother, but had not itin t?mr> -frit n<s to spp him be lore going: to press Monday afternoon. Mr. W. M.

Mr. Olin Frick took last week off and visited his former home in Lexington county on a hunting trip. After thus occupying his time during the entire week, he was successful on the last day in killing one rabbit, one squirrel and one bird. He wanted to get many partridges, not so much on account of "quail on toast," but because he thought the state would hereafter protect these , birds as they are said to be deadly enemies of the boll weevils. Mr. Friek is a good hunter and a game sport, but luck or something was against him. After his week's rest ; and experience he is better able to ' serve the shaving, shampooing and haircutting public at Hallman's barKa>> cViAn . uvi o^ivy* VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT. j Cotton 38 1-2. Seed $1.25. Now we can all go to church again, i beginning with next Sunday. Harry McGraw paid $5 Monday morning for reckless horseback riding. The banks will be closed next Monday, 23rd, as Washington's birthday falls on Sunday. j A railroad wreck in the morning and a fire at night made Sunday lose some of its quiet ways. | Quarantine remains against the ! colored churches and schools of Helena. ; Wednesday will be Ash-Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Easter Sunday will fall on the 4th of April. | The thermometer registered 16 Monday morning. Cold enough, as the mercury fell from 40 degrees at 6 o'clock Saturday evening. What a pity it is that there were no services in the churches Sunday. Such a beautiful day, and Mr. Babb !"out from under the influenza." i People are interested in the land lot sale to take place Wednesday, next to the building holding the grocery store of D. A. Livingston & Son. i At a meeting of the board of trustees of the city schools, held on Monday morning, it was decided not to reopen the schools until Monday, February 23. There may be lots of oil unaer tne [ground here as well as throughout the state and country at large, only it has not been "located." The oil and automobile industries are the biggest business things in the land, i The reason for subscribers on I Route 3 failing to get The Herald and News lately was because both the carrier and his substitute were down with influenza and help was hard to get at the postoffice, as everybody else, more or less, had "the same thing." Keitt & Caldwell sold to Purcell & Lominack a 2 3-4 acre lot in Harrington street just beyond Dr. W. E. Lake's residence, corner Glenn street. That's fine country out there. Are these young men, Purcell and Lominack, the coming men of Newberry? Maybe so. They're "qualified.*' While doing: a good and much needed job of cleaning the old village graveyard lact week, Supervisor Joe Y?\ Werts found many empty bottles of extracts, etc. This condition of affairs makes some people wonder which is better, prohib'tion or open liquor. | The board of health met Sunday morning in council chambers. As only two new cases of influenza had been repotted for the previous day, and the situation being so greatly improved, the quarantine was ordered to be removed Tuesday night at 12 o'clock. Hence all closed places will reopen on Wednesday morning. ; In the course of a statement issued ? ^ 1 1x1. Friday, Dr. J. Mercier ureen, neann officer at Charleston, says the News and Courier of Saturday, tells why he has not recommended a quarantine against Spanish influenza in that city. He declares that "quarantine as applied has proven most disappointing and has not given us any hope in checking the advance in the number * -i-1- - ~ oi cases or m tne severity ui its symptoms or in the reduction of the death rate." "Fight the boll weevil with peanuts." When we read that headline in a daily newspaper the other day we thought of the time when the opera house was full of people looking at the pictures and hearing the music. And now every time we see a . fellow eating peanuts at the opera i house?whether or not he buys them i at Harry Campsen's popcorn parcher , ?we will think he is fighting the boll i weevil, in his mind. If that would i kill him, the boll weevil would have i ^ - 1 \T i 1 . Deen aeaa m rsewuerry long ago. l See the big ad of L. Morris in this ; paper.

And it will pay you to take ? time to visit his store for the pur? pose of getting some of the things you . need. Mr. Morris has the reputation : of having first-class goods all the > lime and of selling the same at roi: sorable prices. It is to be reliably presumed that he will sell to your satisfaction now. Twenty thousand dollars involved in a sale is indeed a ''inio-Vitv nnrchflse."
