The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1898-12-13
Bachman Chapel ard Union Academy Chips

man Chips knew nothing that was
bright and encouraging to write about,
thcr efore he never likes to DO pointing
ut the black side Of every thing he sees.
There is things that wo know, and often
things happen to our. mind which we
would rather not know. But still it Is
our prerogative not to tell all We know,
and we notice that our old friend Kay
takes the same advantage. But let the
cut go as it may we will throw in few
more:
Bad colds have become an epidemic.
Miss Mary Sligh, OF Slighs, has been
visiting friends and relatives in this
section for the past few weeks.
Hog cholera is reported in several
sections Of the county. What u pity
for the people 70 lose their meat, es-
pecially during such stringent times rs
the country Is undergoing.
There will be considerable moving
among the white people, of which 1
will note later.
Our school at Union academy is in u
flourishing condition under the aus
piccs Of Miss Bessie Dominicl;. Miss
Bessie is highly accomplished lady in
every respect, ana our prospects for q
good school have never been better.
A good many news items have hap
pcncd since our last letter which we
would have beon pleased to mention,
but they have grown old and we will
pass them by.
The butcher knife has been doing its
work for the past while, and we old
huy-sccds are now enjoying our own
hog and hominy. Oh! my, what time!
Pudding and sausage everywhere you
go. Come out in the country, Mr..
Editor, with wc'uns and grow fat.
Mr.. Ed. Strauss Is building q nice
tenant house on his Hulfacre place,
which will be occupied by Mr.. Levi
Grrbcr, of Pomara section, anol her
year. Mr.. Strauss is one of those BOYS
that don't believe in doing things by
halves. The house is built out of the
very best material, anI everything is
being fitted up very conveniently.
Owing to the inclcmency of the
weather Union academy didn't observe
Arbor Day at the appointed time, but
our teacher requests all tho patrons to
meet Il. the school house on Friday
next at p. m. to devote their time and
attention in this respect. We hope the
patrons will all turn out as we would
like to sec some improvements in this
direction.
We congratulate Newberry upon the
election Of her city fathers. The men
elected are all good men, and tho city
will never suffer or 20 back under
thcir government. But it will seem
little awkward for while to not say
Mayor Hub although we will not put
in word of complaint when our friends
jump from city ruler to a State ruler.
We think this is promotion enough for
one time. IT old jolly Hub makes as
long jump the next time, it will throw
him right over in congress, where we
believe he will eventually go.
Two new hoardcrs have put in their
quite recently on Ridge.
/ Dad, one at Mr.. Luther Bobb's, it;s a
girl; the other At MIR. w. w. K:narJ's,
it's boy. Granddad again, Kay, what
do you think of this.
1t will soon be time for our law-mak-
ers to meet again. If the whole State
sends rs good delegation rs Newberrv
it will certainly be Il representative
body. Old Ncwberry is full of gond
Legislative timber, and We feel conf
dent that our present delegation Will
occupy some OF the most prominent
places in the assembly.
1t has been talked that the Hon. Cole.
l.. Blease will be a candidate for Speak.
cr OF the House. The Hon. Blcase is
shining light among the rising genera
tion of his age. He has held MANY
most honor ..ble and prominent posi-
tions In the public ruling of hia county
and State, and none have shown more
qualities or aptitude in
their participation in the government of
our State. fIc is well liked and deserv-
edly popular. His able defense during
his practice in the courts has shown
that he is II young man Of more than
ordinary ability, and rs an orator he Is
almost uncquallcd. SO when the I.eyis-
laturc meets, If 1t wants n good piece of
for Speaker, there's no use
Of skipping around Hon. Cole. Blease.
IT will not only be comforting an honor
upon him to elect him Speaker, but will
also reflect much credit upon the whole
assembly.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. b. Schumpcrt, OF
Prosperity. visited Mr.. and Mrs. +. A.
Bobb last S unday.
Thanks Brother Kay, for an invita-
lion to attend your old folks day at
