Miss Nellie Chapman.

This young lady, who spent last
week in Edgefeld, and who it is easy
to perceive will in a few years be one
of the most prominent teachers in the
South, is the youngest daughter of Mr..
Jon A. Chapman, of Newberry-the
author of very successful history of
New berry County and now engaged in
writing history of Edgefield County,
which, we predict, will be no less sue
cessful. Thus it will be seen that Miss
Chapman comes rightfully by her
high intellectual capacity and her
love of learning and science. She is q
graduate, after several years study
therein, of the Nashville Normal Col
lege. During the coming session of the
Leesville College, she will be one Of
the faculty of that institution.-Edge-
field Chronicle.

Like success. When Mr.. r. G. Will
liams first came to Newberry, several
years ago, q stranger in our midst, he
felt like the man that was 'left alone
in Athens. He was moneyless-con-
sequently friendless. knowing that
the world owed him a living, he went
to work. He was modest and began
on a small scale, making haste slowly
and surely. Being possessed Of energy,
activity and pluck, he moved along,
gathering as he went; not making a
big display, but living contentedly
within his means. AS result Of his
sensible course, today finds him doing
good business, having The confidence
of the public and winning customers
by his diligence in business and polite
attention to all. He has moved to his
new store, which he lately bad built
and which has just been vacated by
Mrs. J. Y. Godsey, on Main street,
where his customers and friends may
find him and his furniture and get
anything in his line from a fall rocker
| to spring bed.

4 Card f. IN Hon. W. u. Hardy.

When two newspapers on 30th July
charged me with unfairness towards
Senator Butler at the Prosperity meet
ing, determined not to notice the
charge. Senator Butler was our guest,
and felt that it might not be courteous
to reply. The Senator in an interview
published in the World last week reiter-
ates the charges that I promised that
Col. Talbert would not reply to his
speech at the Prosperity meeting. I
regret very much that the Senator
should have been under any such i'm
preston for I certainly had no intention
of conveying any such idea. Col. Tai
bert having been invited to deliver an
address and no subject assigned him, |
can't think it would have been courte-
Gus to him (our guest to muzzle him.
The Senator did request the privilege
of replying to Col. Talbert should Col.
Talbelt attack him, and the privilege
was cheerfu:ly accorded the Senator
and | so Informed Col. Talbert when
he reached the ground on the morning
of the speaking w. D. HARDY.

A Needed Improvement.

There is great need for Improvement
in the condition of the streets and
sidewalks of Newberry.
True the recent and continuous rains
have been the means Of putting them
in their present bad condition, but
Judging by past experience there is not
much probability that they will be
much improved before the next rain.
The town is larger than it used to be
and there are more streets to work.
The crossings are nearly all impassa-
ble in .rainy weather. Just how the
remedy is to be applied or what it is to
be we are not prepared to suggest, but
something is needed. No doubt Mr..
Jackson does the best be can or that
could be done with the means at his
disposal, but that fact does not alter
the condition to which we are direct
ing attention.
Better streets and sidewalks n
doubt would encourage many to give
more attention to the appearance OF
yards and Improvements Of resi-
dences.
But better streets and sidewalks is
getting to be necessity.
