Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you
could find way to shave your custom
ers in less time, for less cost, and make
the shave last twice or three times as

You wouldn't shave the same person
so many times, nor get so much of his
money; but the whole town would be
talking about you, and everybody would
come to you for a shave.
Devoe lead and zinc is exactly that in

years and years-six years at least.

A Voice from the Past.

The following passage from the ad-
dress of DR.. John Bachman at the lay
ing Of the corner stone of Newberry
College, July 18th, 1857, is worthy of
attention just now, in view of the ap-
peal that the college is making to the
people of Newberly for contributions
for a new building:
"Inhabitants Of Newberry, it is your
college, named after your town and
district. Cherish her as the young
daughter of your love and training.
Be proud of her for the fair promises
she holds out to you in the years of
her maturity when she will become the
mother of many sons, whose voices will
be heard at the forum, the bar in the
Senate, and from the sacred desk; and
who, when duty shall require it, will
become the defenders of the time hon
ored institutions of our Southern land.
Thus, she shall give to thine head an
ornament of grace, crown Of glory
shall she deliver to thee Throw over
her the mantle of your protection, and
bestoW on her the fond and benevolent
smiles of parent; then, when in other
years, men effeminated by luxmy and
grow n giddy by the pride of life, shall
display their ornaments, their trap
pings of silver and gold, she, the alma
mater, like Cornelia, the mother of the
Gracchi, will point with proud exulta-
tion to her sons, and proclaim, "these,
these are my Jewels"
Every dollar invested in the college
is so much invested for the highest in
terests of Newbery. 1t pays the town
in mind, money, and morals. The col
lege has gone through war and disaster,
but today it is prospering. And it is
asking the citizens of Newbemy for aid,
not because it is failing, but because it
is growing. We expect to ask out
siders to help us, but we must first
show disposition to help ourselves.

AS to Town Taxes,

Notice is given in another column
that all taxes due the town must be

against all property on which taxes
have not been paid. The books show
that there are in some cases unpaid
taxes for four or five years back and it
is the intention of the city council to
clear these matters up on the books.
