| last. He is liked up comfortably. anu
is better prepared to do justice to his
clients than ever before.
The 6nny tribe are either getting to
be beautifully less, or losing their taste
for angle worms, as Messrs. Scott, Nc
Caughrin and Kingsmore met with in
; different success on last Thursday. The
day was much enjoyed, however.
The granite that is being put into the
Opera House comes from the quarry
near Mr.. Rikard's, two miles.from town,
and is of very superior quality. The
pieces are very large; one piece weigh
ed before dressing $500 pounds.
We understand that Nathan Brown,
colored. who was convicted at the last
term of the Court of Sessions for New
berry and sentenced to the penitentiary
for - years, escaped from phosphate
mine near Summervllle recently, and is
still at large.
Albert and Edgar Sigh, two young
farmers, are using a new cotton seed
sower of their own contrivance and
make which beats the old hand drop
ping three to one. We like to see this;
it shows that our young men have some
thing in them.
We sympathize with our friend M.
L. Kinard, whose garden was raided by
a herd Of COWS last week. Only few
days before we walked through that
garden admirlngly, the grape vines
particularly attracting attention. We
advise him to put on scratch" shirt.
A coloreG woman from the country
applied to Trial Justice Friday for a
warrant against her husband for assault
and battery. She brought with her
about one-third of a couple of walking
sticks; the remaining two-thir2s she
says was worn out upon her body by
her husband.
woMAN's WORK.
Mondays work is TO wash, apace; &
Tuesdays work is to iron, with grace;
Wednesdays work is to bake and sew,
Thursdays work is to clean-for show;
Fridays work is to sweep, dust and brush;
Saturdays work is to cook-with . rush,
The next then comes is the Sabbath day,
And then she's too tired to rest or TO pray.
There is a general impression that
whom the Car Shops are moved from
Helena the land on which they are To-
Gated will pass out of possession of the
rail road. This is a mistake; the road
owns the land-19 acres-in fee simple;
purchased it from Thos. II. Pope's es-
tate in 1852 for $50 per acre.
Our two-and-a-half year old says lit
tie Mary T. told him that he was bald
headed, she having been told that she
was hard-headed. Claude is naturally
indignant. The same chap, while sick
recently, heard the doctor forbid the
use Of solid food; when he began to
mend be asked his mother to give him
''solid food.
Rev. Jno. Stout. of Society Hill, who
was Pastor of the Newberry Baptist
Church few years ago, and Rev. T. P.
Bell, Of Anderson, have rendered their
services to the Baptist Board of Foreign
Missions. Their services have been ac-
cepted. and they have been assigned to
China. They will leave for China in
October.
Our honored friend Crews, of the
Laurensville Herald, is quite traveller;
week before last he went to Charleston !;
last week be went to the Grand Lodge
of Good Templars at Sumter; this week
be goes to Florida; and be will hardly
have time to settle down before he starts
to Topeka, Kansas, as delegate to the
R. w. Grand Lodge of Good Templars,
which meets the fourth Tuesday in May.
Mrs. John Blats left yesterday for a
visit to NewberrY, S. c., and our eff
cient foreman is going around with a
face on him as long as yard stick and
bis eyes so full of unshed tears that be
can hardly tell hair-spacs from side
stick Gainesville, (Ga.,) Eagle.
We heartily sympathize with John,
but hardly think his case is 80 deplora-
BILE. At the same time we congratulate
the lady's Newberry friends,
Riding in the country a few daysago,
an aged oak was pointed out to us as
having an interesting history. The oak
stands to the right Of the road leading
from Mrs. M. E. Herbert's place to New
Chapel Church, seven miles from town,
and is in sight Of Mrs. HIS house. The
tradition is that forty or fifty years ago
number of carpenters travelling from
Augusta to Newberry stopped under
this oak to eat their dinner. One Of the
number, no doubt with a grateful feel
ing of rest beneath its shade, said to the
others that when he died be desired to
be buried under that oak. The party
came on to Newberry, and went to work
in building. Not long afterwards the
carpenter who had expressed the wish
in regard to his burial fell from house
and was killed. His comrades, in COM
pliance with his wish, carried him to
the oak tree and there buried him. The
grave is marked by stone at the head
and foot.
Sallie Spriggins, one of our.rural sis
ters, had her picture taken the other
day, and the likeness was wonderful to
behold, but no remedy like Portaline,
or Tabler's Vegetable Liver Powder
has ever been prepared. 1t will cure
