they hold a very warm place in the af-
fections of the good people Of Newber-
ry not only those of his own denomi-
nation but of other denominations as
well. And while we know that this
is a personal matter and perhaps
should have remained private, we yet
trust it is a pardonable pride that in
duces US to make public allusion to it
as above.
Newberry is an old town. Evidences
of antiquity are to be seen on all sides,
while ample evidence is also visible
that the town is keeping pace with the
march of modern improvement. Un-
fortunately the streets are narrow and
must remain so, but there are many
pretty residences of modern style, and
in the business part Of the village
there are many fine stores flied with
large and elegant stocks Of goods.
Many country people were on the
streets and in the stores, indicating
large trade even at this usually dull
season.
Newberry has drawn considerably
upon Edgefeld County in making up
her citizenship, and since our visit
there this fact does not surprise US,
for she has, as the Irshman says, "such
winnin' way wild her." Among the
Edgeield Newberrians whom we had
the pleasure of meeting we mention J.
Y. Culbreath, Esq, leading member
of the Newberry bar, ]. Hart Blease and
family and Mr.. Douglas Davenport.
Mr.. Culbreath was spokesman for the
citizens at the reception given to Edi-
TOR Wallace on his return from George
town, IN honor of his election to the
Presidency Of the Press Association,
and the manner. in which he dis
charged the trust shows that he is still
a master Of that Edgefeld eloquence
which gained him distinction on the
occasion of his first pleading at the
Newberry bar, an account of which ap-
peared in the Monitor several years
ago. And friend Blease, though con-
fined to his house with rheumatism,
is still blessed with the old-time use of
nis tongue. And by its use bis COM
partnership is always pleasurable. We
wish him speedy recovery.
Mr.. Davenport is one of the leading
merchants and is evidently popular
and prosperous. If We were to tell the
gills on this side of the river all that
we saw and heard while in Newberry
there might be weeping and wailing;
possibly scratching and hair-pulling.
So we will not tell them how, behind
the dashing "Queen," in dashing
buggy, beside dashing Newberrian,
be may be seen almost any evening
dashing along the shady avenues,
"happy as the day is long" No; We
will not tell it. But we must thank
him for the opportunity his kindness
afforded US of d.lshing along these ave-
nues, taking in the entire town and its
suburbs and of testifying to lhe excel
lent road qualities of the dashing
"Queen." Long live Douglas. May
his shekels increase and bis shadow
never grow less.
The press of Newberry is an honor
to the town and the State-the Herald
and News, by Aull and Houseal, and
the Observer, by Wallace and Kinard.
Both offices are we'll equipped for the
business and their respective papers
are evidently prospering. They de-
serve success.
A pleasant incident of our visit to
Newberry was visit to the McCaugh-
rim dairy farm. It is located about
half mile from the village proper, on
a commanding eminence, and is a
model in neatness and completeness.
It is under the management of Mr.. ST.
las Mclaughlin, who is young, hand
some and intelligent, and, withal, q
gentleman and scholar. The visiting
party consisted of the writer and his
better half, Rev. and Mrs. 6. A.
Wright, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Leavell
and their daughter Miss Hattie, and
the courteous manager spared no pains
to make the visit interesting and in
structive. He showed the modus op-
erandi of the dairy business, the most
remarkable feature of which is the ma
chine for extracting the cream from
the warm milk, just drawn from the
COWS. We cannot describe the ma
chine, but we know it does the work,
does it rapidly and thoroughly. The
cream pours forth from one pipe, the
creanless milk from another. It is
wonderful machine. They milk about
thirty cows and were just through
milking when We arrived, about > p.
ne. About. half Of the milk is sent to
town to supply regular customers, the
other half the cream is taken from and
made into butter, which is also sold to
customers. a dry we'll with temper
ature Of 60 degrees puts the butter in a
firm condition for marketing. The
visiting party were treated to a de,
lightful drink of fresh buttermilk,
which was greatly enjoyed. We have
said that this dairy farm is model for
"completeness." We must be permit
