Rev. j. Is. Hood and His Bride.

On the 10th of February, 1898, the
hearts Of many were made glad by the
return Of our pastor, Rev. J. b. Hood,
and his bride.
The fair, attractive and winning face
Of Mrs. Hood was only IL few days ago
that Of Miss Eva Hickman, of Nir-
ginia. 1t would not be altogether true
to say that old Virginia has lost one of
her much beloved daughters, for we
are sure that into whose care and keep
ing she has, just passed there will he no
need for this.
On Thursday morning, tho day of
their arrival, II goodly number of the
members Of Rev. Hoods charges were
greatly pleased to accept the pleasant
opportunity OF going to extend their
hearty welcome to the happy couple at
the station. Aftcr only short period
Of waiting, the convcyanccs were made
ready and the fatiguc' PAIR had quite a
pleasant drive through tho country to
their sunny Southern home.
On the following day tho groom and
his lady wcro much surprised at the
thronging in Of his members, bearing
not only ornamental, but useful gifts Of
various kinds. 1t was quite amusing to
see Mr.. Hood as he came out to meet
only one of his members---as he cx-
pcctcd to Finland there the room
very well filled. The family with
whom he Is residing had never init
mated anything to him concerning the
surprised reception that awaited them.
After some time OF pleasant chat
ting with our loved and esteemed pas
tor, Mrs. Hood was brought out to
meet and mingle with her people,
which she did in q most loving and
affectionate manner.
About 2 o'clock all tho ladies gath
cred out In the floral garden and there
spread table with all the bounties re-
quired for wedding feast.
After each and everyone present had
partaken bountifully of this we'll pre-
pared dinner, all returned into the
house and there passed the time away
quite pleasantly, until some eyes were
turned toward tho far western horizon,
and from there received tho beckon
from home to bid their beloved friends
adieu, and, as the Village Smithy, plod
homeward.

silver street S!lverelt.s.

Well, Silver Street is on tho boom.
We now have four stores.
MIR. b. NJ. Havird is erecting Il large
cotton seed house preparatory to him
and Mr.. II. O, Long buying seed this
fall for Charlotte mill.
Jones Il Co. have opened up u store
here, and we learn that there is to be Il
guano factory established here soon.
Capt. Glenn is putting the track in
fine fix for the guano cars to roll over.
We need u first class ginning outfit
right here on the railroad, and we be-
lieve w. a. FAINT is the man to put one
here, as he has the lot to put one on.
w. w. .Spcarman has bought anoth-
or fine carriage. We do hope that
burners will keep away.
DR.. Longshorc drove his now horse
to town Sunday afternoon to show him.
and he we'll took the ribbon on the best
stopper. He holds back splcnddly.
Mrs. f. J.. Spcarman'is spending this
week with her daughter Marcy.
MIR. Eugene Johnson is the clover
gentleman conducting Jones e. Cos
business here, but Eugene does not like
ghosts or robbers.
Now about tho public roads. Sup
pose the chain gang begins to macada-
miHe three miles from the corporation
on every main road leading from Now
berry every year, how long would it be
before we would have roads that the
people could travel over without being
turned out. Ten feet in the centre Of
the road would be enough width for the
present, as the other would be used so
little that it would not be cut up.
Mrs. N. G.. T.ongshoro is at Johnstons
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Gary.
1t is surprising how little guano is
coming here this season. ~.

a GOOD SETTLEMENT.

II will be remembered that some
years ago No. l Township voted $l0,-
900 to aid in building tho Augusta and
Newberry Railroad, and that No. s
Township voted $4,000 to tho same
railroad. Tho road was graded and
tho bonds issued and delivered. The
road has never been built. The bonds
are said to be the most regularly issued
railroad bonds Of any in the State.
A little more than year ago suit
was entered by the holders Of the
bonds 10 secure their money on
them. In similar cases the SUI
preme Court OF the United States
has decided that they arc valid
bonds and the townships would event.
ually have to pay them. We took the
position at the time the suit was insti-
tuted that it would be useless cxpcn-
diturc Of money to employ counsel to
fight the case, aud that the best thing
tho townships could do would bc to
save all the cost they could and set
ready 10 pay them y" 10 effect COM

of the bonds.
Messrs. Hunt i Hunt, ! \. Chi.

ships knocks out all interest prior to
1891, and the balance, principal and in
tcrcst, is settled at 80 cents on the dol
lar. In other words, No. Township
will have to pay about $4,000 and No.
about $4,000, making the debt Of both
townships just about what the debt OF
NO. | was originally, without any ac-
cumulatcd interest to pay. 1t is to be
refunded in bonds to run 40 years,
interest at per cent. until 1906, and
after that interest at per cent. I'm

This, wc say again, We consider a

1t is hard to have to pay fer Il railroad
that was never built, but it is decidedly
better to pay $40, ,00G than to pay 500,

The treasurer of the towl. submits
his report Of expenses and receipts for
the year 1897 in this issue. We hope
the citizens will give the report careful
attention. 1t will be seen that the total

nearly $4,000. The biggest item of

off the cash balance on hand the first of
January it will be seen that about half
the money spent was on the streets
All Of them should DC macadamized
and money spent in that way will not
have to bo repeated each year.

used to maintain the system, or wheth-

makes it self-sustaining.
