OUR PROSPERITY LETTER.


The Newberry Conference Nuth-
eran), meets in St. Philips Church on
the 9th inst.
Don't forget the District Convention
Of the Y. ". c.. a. tonight "wednesday
and tomorrow.
We have been having large sized
weather. Rain, sleet, mud, etc. A first
class winter. But the clouds are rolling
by!
The regular monthly public meeting
ofthe Y. N. G. A. was held as usual in
Grace Church. The services were con-
Quoted by F. V. Capers.
The inclement weather has put a
quietus to business, in fact. it has COM
pletely paralyzed it. ReStoratives are
being anxiously awaited. Come gentle
sunshine.
The Teachers Convention did not
convene here on Saturday, as WAS pre-
yiouslv announced. The excessive in
clemency OF the weather prevented
quorum from being present.
The fogs-thick, dense togs Of Loa-
don, seem to have been driven across
the Atlantic and are now breathing out
q spell over in this free country. to re-
mind us Of Proprietary days.
Mr.. John Tinney, once resident OF
this place. but now OF Birmingham, Ala,
is on visit to his former friends, one OF
whom, at least has a particular attrac-
ton for him. All right John, come
again.
Sociables-yes, we like sociability. 1t
is one of the joys of life. 1t elevates
and gives tone and character to young
persons, but there is such thing as ex-
tremes, and too much OF good thing is
too much, we care not how good it is,
unless it gets better.
Last week farmer living a consider
able distance from town sold bale OF
cotton here for 1915. Middling cotton
was worth 81. He wanted a barrel Of
sugar and four barrels Of flour. He
bought his goods, of course, at nearly
cost, and returned home happy and
serene.
On Friday, the 27th inst, the 4th sec
ton of Reedy River Baptist Association
will convene at this place. The new
concrete church is nearing completion
and it is intended to hold the sessions Of
the Association in the new church. This
marks an important epoch in this de-
nomination at this place, as they have
never bad church here.
The meanest thing that has come to
our notice in Il long time, happened near
} here last week. Some party or parties,
the deponent knoweth. not, took the
horse, valuable one, belonging to Levi
Grey, an inotfensive colored man, and
severely and seriously cut the poor dumb
brute in as many as five or six places.
The party or parties must have been
possessed of legion OF DEVILS
Bill Chandler Of counting-in-Hayes no
toriely, now comes to the front in Con-
gress, again, with bill to reconstruct
the election laws down here in South
| Carolina. William is exceedingly anX-
ious to make some arrangement by
which he can count in somebody next
| November. l wonder when those fell
lows up there will let us attend to our
business. We try to be peaceable, and
quiet, and civil, and law-abiding, and we
are, yet they won't let us alone. We
just keep saying ''let us have peace"
but am afraid that we will never have
peace until such fellows as Bill Chan
dler, and John Sherman, and Forcacre,
and Edmunds and dIngall$, and paralytic
Fairchild. shall have passed away 70
meet in council in the halls Of warmer
cline.
I have in my mind boy-yes, Il
young man, one that love to think
| of and talk about. I love to hold him up
as 4 model for other boys-other young
men. He is boy that loves, obeys,
respects bis parents, and helps them all
he can. He is affectionate to his sisters,
and is ever ready to protect them and
serve them. He is polite and courteous
to all whom he meets, ever raising his
hat to ladies and old men. He chooses
the best and most pious associates. He
often sits at the feet OF the wise and
learned, and drinks great draughts Of
wisdom. Isee him regularly at church,
both morning and evening, and at Sun
day-school his place is also regularly
filled. see the same boy in regular at
tendance at the weekly prayer meeting,
and at the meetings OF the Y. u. c. A
1 look and find that he is punctual
member OF these religious organizations.
Yes, I love 10 think of this boy, for l
know he will make a noble character
both in this world and the world to
come. Boy-young man, is it you?
YUBE.
