Penn. this week, where she will spend
the summer.
We insist that Sheriff Riser's game
chickens cover more water than
ground or mud" either. Besides this,
they are non-crowers and only annual
layers.
Rev. H. S. Wingard, of Ettingham,
Ga, spent several days in town amid
his many friends here. Hcwa pastor
of Grace Church here for several years,
and there is 4 warm attachment be-
tween him and our people.
The hot weather has improved the
Gotten crop ever SO much but there Is
room for lots ofimprovement yet. The
farmers now have their crop pretty
we'll cleaned, and in fair condition.
Rain now would be Of advantage.
Last week we were glad to meet Mr..
Bowman Hollcy, an old pupil Of ours,
on his way home in Edgetield, from
Wottord College, where he attained to
the first grade in all of his studies. Mr..
Holley is preparing to enter the min
istry of the NJ. +. Church South. May
success continue to attend him.

Hurrah for Shearouse. We will say
hurrah for him every time he tackles
''woman's right to vote" in the clear,
logical manner in which he did
in his speech at Newberry Col
lege. We want no "woman's right TO
vote" down South where We have a
certain class of women who would de-
light to throng the ballot box the whole
day. An arrangement of this kind
would suit Sherman, Blaine, ingalls,,
paralytic Fairchild and baby eater
Frank Hix, and such like, but do
please excuse all decent people from
such. mixed ballot. 1t is badly
enough mixed as it is, and for the sake
of common decency, if for no other
reason, let us not have it any worse.
Prosperity sent a good round dele
CATION to the commencement exercises
of Newberry College. Itwas our pleas
ure to be one of the number. There is
only one general verdict as to these ex-
ercises, not only here, but Of all with
whom we conversed upon the subject,
and the verdict is this: "It is the best
commencement that Newberry College
has ever had" Vor popuh. We were
peculiarly and forcibly impressed with
the Junior exhibition. We have seen
graduating classes fall below these SIX
young men, in their graduating
speeches, both in composition and
delivery. The exercises from beginning
to end were extraordinarily good, not
single balk of failure, and the large au
dience never firing. The boys, the
small boys of the town Of Newberry
deserve credit for their excellent be-
havior, and good conduct throughout
the .e-cises. Three cheers for the
conduct of the boys, the small boys O.
the town of Newberry.
