Mimnaugh'S Big Stock.

The big fall stock which Mr. j. A.
Mimnaugh purchased during his recent
stay in New York has already begun to
arrive. Mr.. Mimnaugh says he bought
a $4,000 stock. 1t will be as pretty
line of fall clothing, dry goods and no
tions as was ever brought to Newberry.
The only question with him now is to
I'D room to store it, though his store
upstairs and down stairs, is one Of the
largest in the city. Mr.. Mimnaugh is
one of Newberry's successful mer-
chants. The long and successful ex-
pericncc which he has had in the mer-
camille business enables him to know a
good stock when he sees it, and this
year he went North in person and paid
especial attention to the selection of
his fall line, taking up all the bargains
within reach, and he is prepared to give
his customers the benefit of these bar
gains.

A Fatal Bicycle Trip.

The following is from the State of
the 9th. Mr.. Wicker was brother Of
Mrs. James P. Kinard, of Rock Hill,
who is we'll known here, her husband,
Mr.. James P. Kinard being a native of
Newberry, and brother of Mr.. Jno.
NJ. Kinard, of this city:
Rock Hill, Sept. 7.-News was re-
ceived here Sunday of the death of Os-
car Wicker, brother of Mrs. J. P. XII
nard and Mrs. J. C. Witherspoon. Full
particulars could not be obtained, but
it was more than probable that he was
killed by train.
He left Rock Hill last Thursday on
his bicycle, intending to go to his home
at Farmville, Va. A message Sunday
stated that he had been found dead.
He had started from here up the rail-
road track, anticipating an enjoyable
ride through the country to his home
He expected to enter college at Hamp-
den Sidney in few days.
He was about 16 years old, and his
death is a sad blow to his sisters here.

A Small Fire.

Wednesday morning at about l
o'clock the small wooden building in
the rear of Mimnaugh's dry goods es-
tabrishment, occupied by John D.
Eichelberger, colored, as restaurant,
was discovered to be on fire. The
alarm was turned in and the depart
ment reached the scene in short order
The fire was extinguished in few sec
onds after the arrival Of the department
and very little damage was done. The
building was owned by Mrs. R. Brown,
of Norfolk, Va. Her loss was very
small. The fire started in the ceiling
about feet from the floor and about
two feet from the roof. 1t is thought
that it was started by rats carrying
matches.
Much damage might have been done
the Central hotel and surrounding
buildings but for the prompt response
and the good work Of the Excelsior
Fire department. The fire was dis
covered by Policemen Carter and
Bedcnbaugh, and the alarm was turned
IN by them.

NBWBBRRY'S UNION DEPOT.
Both Railroads Are Willing and the Com
mission Thinks There VIII Be
No Trouble.

Some time ago the State railroad
commissioners met in Newberry with
the board of trade to discuss the re-
quest of the citizens of Newberry,
voiced by the board, for union station.
The commissioners investigated the
city's depot facilities, heard the argu-
ments of the board, and declared them
selves heartily in favor of the union
station, saying they would take the
matter up with TIE railroad authorities
and ask that the station be built. The
following from the Columbia cores
pondence of the News and Courier of
yesterday is in regard to this matter:
chairman G. w. Garris, of the rail
road commission, had long conference
today with Mr.. w. G. Childs, of the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Rail
road, in connection with the building of
union station at Newberry. Mr.
Garris thinks that there will be no
trouble about ing this station, as
both railroads entering the town want
union station The commission has
written to Superintendent Ackert, of
the Southern Railway, asking him to
confer with Mr.. Childs, president of the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Rail
road, to complete their plans for the
erection of the station"

Letter to 0. B. Mayer, Newberry, S. c.

Dear Sir: The cheapest thing in the
way of sending anything over the world
is postage stamp; and the cheapest
way to shed water is paint.
Not whitewash; paint. DO you hap
pen to know it don't belong to your
business to know about paint, you
know-do you happen to know that
most of the makers of paint stuff it out
with lime and clay and sand and water
and air?
They do stuff it out in the can; but
not on the house. They make more
gallons to sell ord to buy; more money
to pay for paint; more money to pay
for putting it on; good deal more
money to pay for putting it on; but no
more beauty; more "ust; decay; disap-
pointment; loss.
Dcvoe is your paint, because it's
all paint, no sham, and full-measure.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvOE & co.

pany sell our paint.

CAUGHT 400 POUNDS OF FISH.
A Party Of Newberry Gentlemen Spend a
Very Profitable Day OH Bush
River.

This is a fish story. But it is true
A party of eighteen good fellows from
Newberry on Wednesday caught four
hundred pounds Of fish in Bush river
That is rather startling statement,
inasmuch as it has been proved conclu-
sively long ago that there are no fish in
Bush river. But, however startling, it
is true. The party fshed at Langford' S
mill dam, four miles from the city, and
not only caught the fish, but they
brought them to town and put them in
evidence in support of their story. For
statements. The pond had been drawn
in order to make repairs on the dam,
and Col. Jas. R. Davidson, the owner,
turned it over to Mayor Earhardt and
Alderman Smith and their party to
have and to hold and to use as they saw
fit during Wednesday.
The fish were mostly carp, but there
were some half dozen trout caught, the
largest weighing about five pounds. In
the collection there were also some
large cat fish, white perch and suckers.
1t was great catch. Whether it was
pure luck or whether the gentlemen of
the party are simply expert fishermen,
who can catch fish in stream where
there are no fish, is question to be
decided by those who have fished in
Bush river day in and day out, night in
and night out, in weather in which any
old fish ought to be only too glad to bite
or to run into a seine, without a single
small catch. But however the unlucky
or the inexperienced fishermen may de-
eide the question, the fact is that the
lucky or expert fishermen who COM
posed the party which went to the river
on Wednesday hauled into their seines
about four hundred pounds of fish.
The party was composed Of the fol"
lowing: Mayor Jno. w. Earhardt,
Alderman Van Smith, w. p. Beden-
baugh, j. II. Chappell, b. E. Koon,
Chief w. H. Harris, |. O. Burton, the

Rome Franklin, Samps Nichols, Mark
Nichols, T. S. Blair, Jno. T. Hutchin.
son, City Clerk T. O. Stewart, Charlie
Paysinger.

back to the river yesterday.
