A land auction company is selling for Henry C. Holloway 14 pieces of country real estate t-.nd six houses and lots within the city and envir ons. It has been many years since New berry people have had a chance tc buy real estate at auction prices. Much valuable and desirable land is offered at the top dollar, beginning Wednesday, February 24th. The land sale will continue for four days with good acreage and houses going on the block each day. Mr. Holloway has resolved to get rid of this land and there never was a bet ter time for investment from a spec ulative standpoint ^or from the stand point of acquiring a home or farm. Newberry county real estate is al ways good but particularly now that more money than ever is circulating thruout the country. Some of that money is going to wind up in real estate. There are offered farms from 50 acres to 300 or more; farms suitable for trucking, chicken raising, cattle raising, or just general farming Look over the list elsewhere in this paper and get the details from Mr. Holloway . Get set to bid on one of these places. There is now but little good land in Newberry county for sale at any price which makes this an opportun ity indeed. Mr. Holloway has “nursed” this real estate thru the hard times and now desires to rid himself of large- land responsibility. Only onc-third of the purchase price is necessary to swing one ct these places. BIRTHS AT HOSPITAL | To Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Cromer of Newberry, a son, Mark Ernest, on Wednesday, February 10.

Campaign Begins Sunday, March 14 Newberry county’s goal for the American Red Cross campaign is the sum of $10,200 for home and war relief, as announced by Rev. C. A. Calcote, chairman of the Newberry county chapter. The March campaign, under the able leadership of Clifton Graham, chairman, and G. K. Dominick, co- chairman, will include both the an nual Red Cross roll call and the special war fund drive made neces sary by increased demands upon Red Cross service in this country and abroad. Of the Newberry county goal, $8,000 will go for national and war fund purposes, and $2,200 for the local chapter’s budget. It will be remembered that after the recent tornado 25 Newberry county families were aided, and a total of $5,169.15 sent in by the Red Cross. Mr. Graham and Mr. Dominick say, "We are confident that our goal will be attained, because we know that the people of Newberry county real ize that the work of the American Red Cross is vital in this war, and that many kinds of service are given which can be performed only by the Red Cross. “We need every penny of the $10,200”, they say, “and are sure it will be given gladly.’ Mr. Graham says that the city and county have been divided into sections, and committees appointed in each section. These names will be published at an early date. Red Cross rallies will be held all over 1 the county on Sunday, March, 14th, and the intensive campaign carried on during the week of March 14 thru March 20, according ti present plans.

THEY COULDN'T STAND HITLER IN HELL Saint Peter sat at the Golden Gate With holemn mein and air sedate When up to the top of the Golden Stairs Hitler all shrouded ascended there. He stood before Saint Peter so great and good In hope the City of Peace to win And asked Saint Peter to let him in. “I have killed off Frenchmen by the score And harassed the British with wings galore. I trampled the public and raped their lands I left their homes with nothing but bones. The underfed children is a sad plight Hunger and starvation faces them each night. I’ve starved the rich, I’ve beggared the poor. And have made them all kneel on the floor. To subdue them all I surely have won. • This is more than the churches have done. Saint Peter, you will clearly see That the Heavenly Gates are open to me." Saint Peter sat and stroked his staff In spite of his high office he had to laugh, As he pressed a button against the wall And said to the Imp who answered the bell: “Escort Adolph Hitler around to Hell Then go back to Germany, on earth and tell The rest of the inmates can’t stand the smell Of the frying paper hanger on a griddle in Hell.’ —El Progreao, Trinidad, Colo.
