In tho city, we were glad to sec him.
Old man Kay got home for Il little
while last week, going up Sunday and
returning Tuesday. We took in the
Board mccting IN Nrwbcrry on Mon
day, but did not get to sec friend Chips.
Push or any Of the pencil pushGrs.
The question now uppormost in the
minds Of all here is; what is Columbia
going to do in regard to the S. a. l..
Some people laugh and say she was
never known to grasp her opportun;-
ties and will not do il this time, this
remains to bc seen. They made light

other neglected opportunities strewn
all along her path. VIII she be equal
To the occasion | fear not, the next
thirty-eiN hours will tell.
by the way, MIR. Editor, how is it
that the only daily (morning) published
at the Capitol ala not contain at least
some OF the commencement exercises
OF Ncwbcrry College. There are
many friends Of the college who feel IA
deep interest in her welfare who had
hoped to get daily accounts OF it., but
not Il word. | fave been asked but
could give no reason fear some are
at:rihuting it to the wrong motive, the
papers antagOUism to dcnominuiioual
colleges but | told them no as it. pub
liahcd others aud that attributed it. to
the local reporter not sending it in,
am right?
We had the pleasure Of visiting old
Sake Gotha on Lexington last Monday
1t had h' en- along time since we had
! walked her streets aud shook hands
with her citizens. There are Il num-
! her Of Nrwhcrry College graduates in
! that town. Among those | met would
mention Col J. Brooks Wingard, S O.
/ kamincr, II. T.. Drehcr and Chas.
! Drafts. OF course we had to call in to
see our old friend, the editor of the
. Dispatch and shake his hand and swap
few experiences, talk Il little business

the ashes and will soon be his former

The +. Il NJ. Co. usually called the
alliance store is what might be called
. Il department store for in it can he
E"nGht almost anything that one may
need. The manufacturing department
docs large business in harness, sad
dies, brides, Get, and first class goods
can br bought Of them rs cheap as they
can be hon. ht any where.
Since writing what we did in regard
To Columbia and the S. a. l.. the
council has had II meeting. 1t refused
or declined 10 give the park to them,
, but gave them the right Of way along
| the streets to the park and ont again
and agrccdcd that they could condemn
| the park If they SO desired. This
means practically that the S. A. l..
will come into Columbia by the park
route. This will mean great deal for
| this city and will in time make her the
first city of the State. We think CO.
lumhia can congratulate herself on her
| favorable location. AS in 0ldcn times
all roads led to Rome, so in our duv all
! roads lead to Columbia. The growing
| interests of the city demanded such an
inlet and outlet as Will br afforded by
| this liuc.
We understand that there will br q
new schedule lnt ON tie &. n. l.. in
the near future. We hope it will be an
| Improvement.
