Chit - Chat By CONSTANCE ARMFIELD Now that Christmas is over and the New Year has been ushered in, we are settling down with a firm de termination to keep the newly made resolutions as best we can. Some think it useless to make resolutions because they will be broken before the New Year ages in the least, but I’m thjmkful we have a specific time in which to “turn over a new leaf.” « Following a custom of years, the Charles L. Traberts held open house Saturday, the first day of the new year. This gracious host and host ess invited their many frieds to call at any time during the day. Remini scenes of the past year were brought to light in the varied conversations and really “a delightful time was had by all.” The New Year treat, silli- buh and fruit cake was served to the guests. A large Christmas tree in the receiving room caused many flattering comments. At the base of the tree, the Traberts had arranged with minature toys, the scene of the first Christmas, the fields of sheep attended by the shepards, the wise men and shepards worshipping the Babe, the angels singing from on high, and in the background, a mina ture ancient village with the soldiers and guards and everything that cap tures ones imagination and aids one in picturing the setting of the Holy Land just as it was in those days. f Paragraph biographies—Besides be ing the mother of four children, house keeper, charming entertainer, and a superb fisherman, Mrs. T. E. Epting could take a state fair prize with one of her delicious fruit cakes. Mrs. Epting is known and loved by New- berrians far and wide. She has a cer tain “way” about her that makes everyone who comes in contact with her feel comfortable and at home. Newberry College opened its doors Tuesday for the second semester. Once again, the city takes on its nat ural looks with the boys and co-eds back. We always hate to see the students leave and are glad to wel come them back. I sometimes shudder when I think what a difference there would be here without Newberry Col lege and her congenial President Kin- ard. Roy Whitaker’s many friends in Newberry will be interested to learn that February 10 is the date set for his wedding to Miss Ellie Claire Caughman of Columbia and that the marriage r’i!l take place in the St. Paul’s Lutheran church in Columbia. Mr. Whitaker is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Whitaker of Nance street. The bride-elect is the daugh ter of Mrs. G. Perry Caughman of Columbia. There are many in Newberry who will recall Dr. W. G. Neville, a Presbyterian mismona'ry to Brazil, and brother of D. W. A. Neville. Dr. Neville will deliver the sermon at Aveleigh Presbyterian church Sunday morning, and during his brief stay in the city will be the guest of the D. W. A. Nevilles. Dr. and Mrs. Ne ville and their four children have been in this country on furlough for over a year. Dr. Neville has made visits over the states and his family has been in Augusta, Ga. with Mrs. Ne ville’s parents. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Tennent. The Nevilles will leave for Brazil February 1. CHATTER—Don’t forget to write it 1938—Newberrians glad to learn that members of the Calcote family are improving. Christmas and New Year found three of them ill—good to see McBee Hipps visiting her Sunday —we’re having such delightful weath er now, the kind that makes one want to hike for miles—bridge clubs are getting back into swing again after holidays. Miss Claudie Mae Hiller has return ed to Gilbert, where she teaches in the Gilbert high school, after spending the Christmas holidays with her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hiller. FAMILY FOLKLORE (Continued from page four) to their homes or churches to capture the enemy or attack them. One re cord states that a certain minister who preached the doctrine of liberty always carried his gun to church with him; while conducting srvices had the gun standing close by, and preached his sermon with his powder-horn swung around his neck. When the freedom of the slaves came many old slaves stayed on with their former masters, working as wage hands; later becoming renters, in many cases, and a few owning farms. The period of th Ku Klux, which terminated “scalawag” rule a- mong the masses, brought with it soberness; but not until after the days of the “Red Shirts” did South Caro lina come into a period of develop ment and growth.

Bedenbaugh SIGNS House Painting Interior Decorating “Satisfaction Guaranteed” 1103 Boyce St. Newberry, S. C. For greater success in farming in 1938 County Farm Agent P. B. E- zell makes these important sugges tions for January. Agronomy 1. Be sure your cotton planting seed for 1938 was bred to produce staple at least one inch in length and preferably longer. 2. If sufficient oats was not planted during fall to meet farm needs, plant this month, weather permitting. 3. Clean up hedge rows and wood patches be tween fields. Horticulture 1. Prepare hotbeds and coldframes for cabbage, tomato, pepper, etc. 2. Plant English peas (in lower part of state) if soil is in condition. 3. Pre pare land for Irish potatoes, and or- oer certified seed. 4. Prune fruit trees and vines preparatory to spray ing with lime-sulfur or oil-Bordeaux. 5. Plant fruit trees at once, if soil is in condition. 6. Terrace all new orchard land before planting. Agricultural Engineering 1. Plan to lower production costs in 1938 by more efficient use of labor, power, and machinery. 2. Arrange sheds and farm shop for better care of equipment. 3. Check over farm machinery and make needed repairs. 4. Make needed repairs and improve ments on buildings, fences, and gates, Insects and Diseases 1. Plan to treat cotton seed before planting. 2. Continue cleaning or chards to destroy fallen fruit and limbs to control diseases. 3. Prune grapes to remove and burn disease harboring vines 4. Clean up trash about edges of field and gardens to kill hibernating insects. 5. Do not bum woods to control insects. 6. Ap ply dormant spray to peach trees for San Jose scale and leaf curl. 7. Fumi gate, if necessary with carbon dissul- fide to save grain, peas, and beans. January Attention To start your year right with live stock, County Farm Agent P. B. E- zell suggests these ideas for January. Animal Husbandry 1. Balance com for hogs with fish meal, skimmilk, or tankage. 2. Allow beef cattle ample roughage. 3. For fall calves turn bull with cows about January 16. 4. Give idle mules free access to roughage, but cut the grain to half ration. 5. See that all classes of livestock have shelter, with extra bedding during cold nights. 6. Make use of barley, rye and oats for hog and cattle grazing. 7. Repair the pasture fences. Dairying Make inventory of livestock, feed, and equipment. 2. Decide now whether you will have silage next fall and plan for its production. 3 Ana lyze herd records and decide where you can improve in management and feeding. 4. Repair pasture fences, clean out under growth, and stop washes in pastures. 5. Plan now for improving penrianent pastures and for summer crops to supplement per manent pastures. 6 Start the New Year right by keeping daily milk *.:J feed records on each cow. Poultry 1. Mate breeders for hatching eggs. BOUKNIGHT Druey L. Bouknight, 87, died at the home of his son, E. J. Bouknight, near Chapin Tuesday morning after a long illness.

A BIG EDITION We are in receipt of a copy of the Centennial edition of the Daily Clarion Ledger, of Jackson, Miss., forwarded us by Mr. J. F. Suber, a native of this countV who owns property on Broad river. The edition containing 192 pages is one of the finest news paper efforts we have seen. On the first page is a congratulatory letter from President Roosevelt and the edi tion contains a wealth of historical as well as current data. The edition enhances our opinion of the satrapy of Bilbo. We always measured every thing Mississippi by “that man.” MRS JOHN MAYER INJURED Mrs. John Mayer was painfully injured about two weeks ago by the explosion of a dynamite cap in her hand. She was brought to the local hospital for treatment. It seems Mrs. Mayer found an old dynamite cap while cleaning up about the house and began to explore its mysteries with a knitting needle. The cap ex ploded, painfully injuring her right hand. We trust she is fully restored by this time as we know things don’t run very smoothly around the Mayer household when she is indisposed. If you are interested in good ser mons I advise you to come out. We trust there will be a good attendance and another important fact is, we hope to have a greater Sunday school in ’38 than in ’57, and that the Light Brigade League and Woman’s Mis sionary Society shall also prosper. Christmas is over and down goes all the beautiful decorations; many of the homes were very beautiful. Are resolutions profitable? They are if you make them and stick to them. Many people make resolutions only from their lips and not their heart. Now you have turned over a new page in life from 1937 to 1938. Now you are going to make stains, more or less, on the new page of life. It is my desire to make less in ’38 than I did in ’37, and I trust that there are many others who feel the same. We are all subject to mistakes, but when you know something is wrong you must avoid it if possible. Let us look for a brighter future and not backward on the dark pages of life. Let us have a determination to do better in ’38. Unless you try to accomplish simething in life you will never get anywhere. Some people seem gloomed at the beginning of the year. We know not what is in store for us, but we must try and make the most of it. We are looking forward for prosperity, trusting we can ac complish more in ’38 than we did in 1937. There were many listening to the president on January 3 and also to the Congressmen. They surely gave good advise. What a wonderful pro gress has been made while these men were sitting in the white house, their voices being heard the world over. Should we as ctizens of this nation as these years pass by. take a great er step toward civilization than ever. As each year passes by let your resolutions for the year grow greater and tnat all the golden opportunities that confront us may be used to the best advantage. Mrs H. H. Ruff who is confined to her bed is feeling better. We hope she will soon be able to be out again. All teachers of the community have returned to resume their work. Several boys who visited Florida returned home Saturday, reporting a fine time and bringing with them limbs loaded with oranges. — GIRL SCOUT MEETING Troop two of the local Girl Scouts will meet Saturday morning at 10:30 at the troop room in the Junior High School.
