Now, Peter Frlsby Hamilton Jones
Was perfectly lovely dear;
He was u cat, as black as my hat,
No tail, and u slit In one ear
Mary Melinda never will know
How her doll stirred up that cat;
But she was the one t the fuss begun,
We fellows are sure of that
How do girls know what dolls may do
When they are away at SCHOOL,
A girl In her place would make up a face,
Which aggravates boys as rule
So we think that doll with waxen nose

At nine she was there in her real high
chair;
At night we found one Of her feet

DR.. NJ. P. Boyd, successful dentist
of Atlanta, is on visit to Newberry,
combining business with pleasure. He
is a brother of Treasurer G. F. Boyd
and is remembered pleasantly by many
Of our citizens, as we'll from his own
genial nature and sterling qualities as
from the fact that he isalso the so
of the late Hugh K. Boyd, who was a
prominent and honored citizen in our
midst in his day. The business which
brings DR.. Boyd here at this time will
prove of interest and importance to
numbers of our people in the town and
county, and it therefore gives us pleas
ure to announce it. The Doctor has
made arrangements with all our local
dentists to use his continuous gum,"

A Card to TAXPAYERS.

The County Commissioners for New
berry County desire to make the fol-
lowing statement as regards the last
report of the Grand Jury:
In our honest judgment there is
nothing needed at the poor house; the
buildings are in perfectly good condi-
ton, and especially is this the case
with the paupers' houses. There has
been expended in buildings and repairs
the sum of $4,000 in the last three
years. The Commissioners made sew
eral efforts during the year to get pro-
visions for the paupers cheaper than
the bills presented to them showed.
AS to the Jail, the chimnies are in
good condition, having been repaired
only three months before court.
We will say that the road reported
by Grand Jury as not having been
worked at all, viz: the road leading
from Kempson's Ferry to Bush River,
is in good condition and has been
worked six days. The returns are in
County Commissioners Office and
show six days. work. 1t is admitted
that all the roads are not in as good
condition as we could desire, but we
have made an honest effort as County
Commissioners to do our duty.
Yours Respectfully,
COMMISSIONERS. :

Work on the New Building on the College
Campus to Begin at Once.

The following resolutions were unan
! imously adopted at the recent meeting
of the South Carolina Synod:
]. THAT the Standing Committee o.
the College Board he charged with the
erection of the needed building for the
use of the College.
2. "That every congregation shall ap-
point special College Day on which a
collection shall be taken up, and the
! proceeds sent to said committee for this
| use."
In pursuance of the first resolution,
the Standing Committee Of the C6i!ege
Trustees met November y, 1893, and
decided to proceed at once to erect the
proposed new building. A sno conf
mittee, composed of 6. W. Holland,
D. B. Wheeler and 6. B. CrOmer, was
authorized to perfect plans and to let
the building to contract.
The funds on hand and in sight for
the building amount to 81 5l5.95.
The building will cost about 5000.
Thus oDe-half the sum needed is still
unprovided. But the committee feels
authorized to 60 ahead with the build
ing, believing that the 81 500 will come
in due time. Much confidence is put
in the results Of the collection to be
he taken on
COLLEGE DAY.
This day for the South Carolina
Synod is the third Sunday in Deem
Der, or such ether Sunday as may best
suit the congregations. If all the pas
tors will heartily present this call to
their people, giving due notice thereof,
and take up collections at all the
churches, the sum of the collections,
when published, will both surprise and
crafty the friends of the College. Pas
tors and people, do not withhold this
8 rprise and qualification.
The Georgia Synod also heartily
adopted the suggestion of a College
Day, and during the month of January
or February collections will be asked of
all the congregation of that synod.
The committee appointed the under
signed as the treasurer of the fund for
the building; and all collections should
be promptly sent him. Acknowledge
ments will be made through the Lu-
theran Visitor.
Friends who have not yet paid the
pledges made by them will please re-
NIT as soon as convenient.
1t is hoped to have the building
completed by May lst, 1894.

AS stated last week the court took a
recess and the Common Pleas was
opened on Wednesday,. The whole Of
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday was
taken up in hearing the suit of Godfrey
Harmon VS. the Executors of F. H.
Domipick.
The jury remained out nearly all Of
Friday night. The verdict was in favor
of the executors for small amount.
Mr.. Harmon sued on some notes and
the executors put up counter claim
and the jury concluded that the counter
claim was bigger than the notes. Mr..
Harmon Was represented by w. H.
HuDt, Jr., and J. Y. Culbreath and
the Executors by Geo. Johnstone.
On Saturday morning the case OF

fell through the Lark bridge near
Cbappells. His wagon was broken up
and his mules injured. The driver was
also bruised up considerably, but he
settled with the county for small
amount. Mr. Barre aud the Commits
sioners could not agree, and hence this
suit. The Commissioners employed
Mr.. w. II. Hunt to assist their attor-
ney, Mr.. Sease, in the conduct of the
case for the county. Mr.. Barre was re-
presented by .Johnstone & Cromer.
