We are not surprised that the proprie-
tor Of the Prosperity Hotel is a poor
man. and we shall not be surprised if
he remains poor. \ man ca2 never
grow rich by feeding people as he does.
We took dinner with him a few days
since and were perfectly astoni>hed at
! the bill OF fare. 1t woulI consume too
much space to produce it here. We have
often eat worse dinners at the Pavilion
and Charleston Hotels where the fare is
from $3.50 to 81 per day. Dickert charg-
eS only 25 and 81 cents meal.
| Mr.. r. I. Stoudemayer, who lost his
dwelling and its contents by fire on last
Wednesday, instead Of grieving and be-
moaning over his losses, has gone to
work like man and is making every
preparation to rebuild and repair his
losses. A great many of his friends
have contributed largely to the relief OF
himself and wife. by giving them arti-
clcs OF clothing, furniture, bedding,
tables, dishes and a great many articles
necessary for household and kitchen
purposes. Bob says it makes him feel
good to know he has so many real
friends. He was good old ''rel" too,
and these old ''rebs" have a fellow feel
ing for one another. Don't understand
me to say that it was only ''rebs' who
contributed for they are in the minority.
The younger men and the ladies were
largely in the majority. 'Rebs" are
getting comparatively scarce around
here.
On last Sunday night Rev. w. C.
Schaefer, OF Newberry, delivered lect-
ure before the Y. N. C.. A. in Grace
Church. The church was we'll filled with
an attentive and appreciatiye audience.
The subject THE ideal man." was
treated in an effective and mastery
manner. The speaker preiaced his lect-
ure by laying down the proposition,
that the history OF one man in his own
time and sphere, was the history of the
world" Men of one purpose were sue
cess always-illustrated by the examples
OF Nerxes, Hannibal, Napolean, OF Ho-
mer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Luther, Cal
vim, Wesley and others. The lecturer
then presented to his audience St. Paul
as most forcible example Of 'The ideal
man." His discourse throughout was
replete with profound thought, and was
delivered in practical manner. His
illustrous example was strongly pictured
to the young men and young women of
our congregation. May one and all en-
deavor to attain to the Ideal man-the
highest position in the eternal Kingdom
of God. 70 attain to this high position
requires an entire renunciation Of every
thing Of worldly nature, and a daily
consecration to our avenly King.
After whole week OF beautiful and
pleasant weather, we are again between
the outpouring clouds above and the
mud and slush beneath. The farmers
took advantage Of the past weeks good
weather and the plow share has been
pressed for all it was worth. Busy scenes
on the farm make dull scenes on the
streets and in the stores. Clerks are al
ready beginning to grow real lazy-boyS
l don't mean that exactly, but there is q
kind OF feeling that when very few
people come to town, some how or other
we wish nobody would come at all
boys you know it is, ell? After while
the days will get longer, and the sun
will get hotter, and fewer people will
come to town, and base ball will have a
place in picture and then the boys will
be happy and serene. YUBE.
