ment. The Newberry Firemen have no.
tilted him that they will attend with their

The enterprise displayed by the Green
vile News in publishing the proceedings
Of the Episcopal Convention is worthy OF
commendation, and shows what our
sprightly neighbor will do when occasion
demands. The Naos is, we are glad to
say, making new friends ever day, and it
deserves liberal support from the entire
Piedmont section.
Among the delegates who attended the
Episcopal Convention in this city last
week was Mr.. Jas. T.. Bacon, editor Of the
Edgefeld Chronicle Before leaving the
city Mr. Bacon honored our sanctum with
q visit, and it was pleasure to US to meet
him. More than thirty years ego he was
'alresident of Anderson. being connected
with the old Johnson Female College at
that time.
i Mr. George Z. schrimp, OF Hall Town
ship lost horse and mule one day last
week. They were Id q pasture, which is
enclosed by wire fence. and in playing
both ran against the wire at the same
time, killing the horse almost Immediate
/ " and wounding the mule 80 badly that
&c is doubtful if it can recover. Losing
two good working animals at this time is
a serious loss.
The Newberry Herald records a new
method Of breaking those interesting
animals known as Texas ponies. A citi-
zen Of that county was seen last week rid
ing one and with another tied to the tail
ofthe one he was riding. BE explained
that It was the very best way to break
them. Perhaps the information will be
.of value to some of our citizens who have
invested In such stock.

There is a good deal Of the sheep ele-
zment in the human race. Whenever
.own begins to boom thousands, blindly
follow leaders to- the place and invest
their money. These people do not hunt
up out-of.the-way places, where there is
no. enterprise or life, but put money
where they see others doing the same
thing. If we would prosper we must
begin the work ourselves and Others will
follow. Now Is the time to strike.

Mr.. James w. Erskine, of Broadway
Township, was in town last Monday with
q basket Of hail, which fell in his vicinity
three weeks ago to-day CThursday.) Mr..
Erskine was in the city Saturday and
spoke of it, but as some seemed to doubt
the statement, he brought basket-full of
it to show. This is q pretty big tale, but
It is true. The idea Of gathering up a
basket-full of hail eighteen days after it
fell, is little hard to understand in May.
But the assertion.was made that wagon
load could be gathered up in the neigh
borhood.
