A NEWBERRY VISITOR. ^ir. W. Q. Peterson Qives His Impression of a Recent Visit. Fron? The Newberry Herald and News. I |cft on the evening of the 2nd inst., to attend the convention of the Rural r I.etter Carriers' Association, of South l Carolina' I was met at the depot by John and Grover Peterson and carried to their hospitable home and there 1 was made welcome by Mrs. Peterson and her accomplished daughters. On the morning of the 3rd, I went to 4ho office of The Laurensville Herald nd found the genial and versatile Dick Gr?neker with sleeves rolled up and hard at work. I also met Col. Crews, editor and publisher of The Herald. Going on the street I began the hunt for the survivors of the gallant old 3rd Regiment. I soon found Stobo Gar lington, of the State Guards. A good soldier was Stobo. With eye to eye and hands clasped we had a good Bhake. We repaired to the auditor's oilico, where we found John Finley, ^jf.nu.l John. "Hello! John, Co., B." "Correct, Bradley, No, Livingston." "No who?" "Peterson." "Correct." Then a tusslo. Next walked in O. G. Thompson. "Hollo! Ollie." "Can't place you" "Company B., Peterson." Then that little Briar and Bee had a shake sure. Next walked in little Tom Duckett. "Hello! Tom." "Can't place you." "Peterson, Company B." "Babe, you have grown." "Shake." "All right." In walked John M. Hudgens. '?'Hello! Diver." "Who? John Lang ""Tston." Six foot and al" :ys on duty. It looks like a reunion. Then Ollie said dinner?no hard tack. To Dorroh's we went and enjoyed a splendid dinner. I also visited the office of Col. J. W. Ferguson and had a good talk. John was born in Newberry, but has done well in his adopted home. I next vis ited the splendid home of Rev. J. D. Pitts. I pulled the string and was wel comed by Brother and Sister Pitts. ? ' ^John has a big heart and loves every j i^?on and daughter of Adam and Eve. I also saw Joe Burton, honest Joe. A man who will swear the truth to his own heart. I also saw Mr. and Mrs. [Muss and enjoyed their company very much. Mra. Pluss is a sister of John Davis, who came to us at Fairfax Court House, Virginia. He had a crippled band and could not carry a gun. He went on a scout with Capt. William Farley at Fairfax and had his hat brim shot off by the federals. 1 remember Mr. Davis very well and saw him when he came from the scout. As he could knot handle a gun, he served his country by serving in the commissary depart ment. Mrs. Pluss showed me a picture of Capt. Farley?gallant William Far ley. He was killed by the same shell T^hat cut off Gen. M. C. Butler's leg. I Knew the picture at once, without be ing told whose picture it was. Mr. J. W. Peterson came into town with his buggy to take me to his home in the country, but on account of a j heavy rain storm, we could not go out. , Never mind, Billy, I expect to visit your home. I also visited The Adver tiser office and was given a hearty welcome. Through the kindness of John Peter son, I was enabled to see a large part of the residence portion of I aureus. I .aureus is certainly a city of nice resi dences, but there is no place like home, and at 5.10 p. m., I took passage on Col. Childs' vestibule, and wus soon at home, being welcomed by the gootl wife, the little girls, and Sambo. Ex-Conkkd. Death of Mr. Thomson McDill at Clinton. Clinton, July 10.?Mr. J.

A close student of blnl life writes: ?"Observation of several species of In sectivorous birds has shown that tho parent birds wJ.ll, when their family is growing up, make between them In tho neighborhood of 500 visits to the nest in the course of n day, carrying on each occasion a whole beak load of gnats or spidery or larvae. For tho birds which feed on gnats or other small life generally take to their youn gest not single Insects, but a wholo Collection at a time. On one occasion I spent an hour in tuklng the record of a pled wagtail which had its brood of newly fledged young ones In an old disused punt that had settled down at Us moorings into the mud at the side of the pond. During the hour the malo bird alone was looking after the fami ly the female amused herself by run ning about on tho bank catching in seeis for her own consumption and Varying the occupation with long spells of attention to her toilet. The malo bird, on the other hand, never rested for one mlnutu from his work of bread winning. As his bunting ground wns the open surface of the pond, above which he flitted, hs. was never out of my sight. ? "In the course of the hour he mado twenty-eight trips, the shortest absence from the young lasting one and a bolt miuutes and the longest nearly six minutes. On no occasion did be remain at the punt for mo-o than llfteen sec onds or Jusl long enough to turn over the food collected on the last trip to the proper youngster and be o0' again. Myriads of gnats were dancing above the water, and at each dip the bird struck at one, but one could not see whether ho always caught bis quarry or not. As far as It was possible to guess be always did. On his shortest absence ho made over forty shots, and fpom that the number ran up to con siderably over 200. "Supposing that he missed his n'.tn half the time or afterward dropped or swallowed the Insects, so that half of tbeni wore wasted and failed to reach the family at home, there must Bavo been from 1,500 to 2,000 gnats brought back to the punt In tho course of that one hour, Later In the day both parent birds were hawking simultaneously, each returning methodically to the young every two or three minutes. What the gross consumption of Inscctc was in the COUrso of tin; day it Is Im possible to guess, but it can hardly have been less than 10,000 or 15,000 and was probably twice as many." RULES FOR A HOME. Remember that home begins with charity. Remember that open windows make health epidemic. If you must worry, take a big thing. The little things will knock you out. Keep your children,, your dogs and your troubles away from your guests. The dining room should always bo ?acred. That Is the one room where no scraps should be allowed. Have the same standard of morals for yourself as for your children. You need It as much as they r<*?. There are three standpoints to every bome?your own, your wife's and tho cook's. Try and forget your own. Put over tho front door for every member of the family to read, "Ho Who enters here leaves satire behind."
