ready gathered, and IS per cent. OF d
crop is a fair estimate for Newberry
County.
The pea crop is not going to be near
50 good as was once expected.
Mr.. John w. Fulmer, of Little Noun
tain section, made a business trip to
this vicinity last Monday.
Mrs. H. R. Epps is spending a few
weeks with her daughter and family,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Rikard, of Long
Lane.
Mr.. Geo. N. Gallman is clerking in
Columbia.
Mrs. Matte Hentz and Miss Loise
Wedeman, ofNew Hope section, visited
Mr.. and Mrs. S. J. Kinard last Sunday.
Rev. J. J. Long preached at Colony
last Sunday. W. are proud to know
that Rev. Long has accepted a call and
will in a short while become u pastor.
We are thankful to say that we have
always been successful in getting good
preachers. We believe that Rev. Long
will not only make us a good preacher,
but also a good pastor.
Everything possesses a certain
amount of knowledge, and dogs are no
exception. And it is not everything
that wears the biggest head that has
the most sense. You all know that pug
dogs have very short heads. One of
them manifested his knowledge by
showing a dislike for country life. Last
week one was brought from town to the
country, a distance of nine miles, to a
neighbor boy, who had been wanting a
pug dog for some time. After the little
dog was put down in the yard, it went
into the house, looked around for about
an hour, and then freed itself from
country life, by taking leg bail. Eddie,
you can find your pug at its oldhome in
town with Mr.. Jones.
We, are informed that Rev. Prof. W.
K. Sigh will preach at Mr.. Mid Griffn's
home on the first Sunday afternoon in
October.
We are glad to say that Mr.. L. 1.
Feagle's son, Edgar, who has been
quite sick with typhoid fever for the
past month, is getting along nicely.
Messrs. Geo. J. Kinard and brother,
Alonzo, Nolan Epps and brother,
Edwin, and Joseph M. Wilson, who
constitute the: Union String Band, gave
a musical entertainment at Mr.. Perry
Halfacre's last Saturday night.
We learn that we were mistaken in
saying that Mrs. Francis Wise, de-
ceased, was a member of Bachman
Chapel church. She was a member of
Colony church.
We attended the burial and funeral
services of Mrs. Polly Epting which
took place at St. Paul's, as was men
toned in my last letter. The large con-
gregation present showed the high es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held.
Her age was AZ years, 4 months and 70
days. She was the mother Of seven
children of which two have preceded
her to the spirit land, a grown son
who died while in service in the Spanish
war. Rev. J. A. Sigh, her pastor,
made a very touching and sympathetic
talk, after which Rev. Lutz, Of Pros
perity, preached an appropriate sermon.
The whole service was a message OF
consolation and comfort. The deceased
was a woman who possessed some very
traits in life. She was a business
woman. always faithful, not only to her
domestic duties, but was also active in
any other business matters pertaining
to the church, or public good of her
county. While we weep with the
broken-hearted family, and know that
she will be greatly missed, yet we are
proud to be able to speak of her as we
do. Dear sisters of the living, now is
the time to let your light shine, that
when you die the same may be said of
you.
It almost looks like threshing old
straw to have anything further to say
about the primarH. But we are going
to be brief by saying that we are proud
the storm is over, and the minds of the
people are cooling down, and, so far as
Newberry County is concerned, she has
made a good selection, and the offices
of the county will be we'll cared for in
the hands Of our newly elected officers.
After all the scufaing around there have
only been a few changes made. AS to
the members of the general assembly,,
they have only snapped Mr.. Dominick
for Mr.. Aull. Mr.. Dominick made US a
good officer, but we feel sure that Mr..
Aull will do the same. We a say the
same of Messrs. Hodges and Wilson.
They are both good men and fully COM
petent. This was about all the swap
ping that was done. But here comes
old Sam Moore and beats the whole
shooting match. He takes Mr.. Floyd's
place, but Mr.. Floyd wasn't running
for that office, SO you can't call that a
swap. So we all have a right to feel
proud of our officers. They are all good
