We had a visit in the Ridgeroad
community on Friday. The farmers
in that section are moving on nicely
with work and seemed to be in good
spirits. We were pleased to notice
good amount of corn had been planted
in that community, besides other
things, that had the appearance of liv-
ing at home.
The old reliable calamus pond near
where the Academy building is located
and the place that has been noted for
furnishing the public with calamus
has washed over and become thing
OF the past. We are told that the trains
have been seen to stop near there and
persons would walk over and gather a
supply of the fruit. When we were a
wee little boy We remember passing
this pond and seeing cows head stick
ing out of the water that had mired
down, and the cow seemed to be per
fectly contented with her lot. The
familiar name Of calamus pond is we'll
known to the people of Newberry
County. This pond has furnished cal
a mus for quite number of persons to
chew, and the name alone will long be
remembered j. the calanus never re-
turns. SIGMA.

Yes, great drive in the shape
of a new top, "The Mystery" It
far excels all others. Simple,
durable, cheap. Made from best
steel and iron; will last forever.
Readily spins with aid cf fore fin
ger and thumb. In addition to its
spinning qualities it will do what
no other top will do. This makes
it the lord of tops. It hustles
and waltzes around on both pin
and blunt point, and plays with
various articles-hair-pins, pens,
needles, etc. It. is made on scien-
tifc principles and intended more
for home indoor pleasure. Old
folks as we'll as the youngsters
enjoy its antics. It will do with
a steel pen what the most expert
penman cannot do. There is more
solid enjoyment in its work than
any top ever made. The cheap
ness Of the top will give all a
chance to buy. Only ten cents.
