Newberry Beautifully Represented.

The Augusta Chronicle CT the nth
inst. gives a glowing account of the
valentine ball in that city, whici. 1t
says was most brilliant success. ado
ing that the ball of last evening
eclipsed in brilliant picturesqueness
and beauty anything that has been
given in Augusta in some time. The
reports, with a fine pen drew beau
tiful word picture of the scene, among
other nice things saying that the
many lovely women in their ex-
quisite gowns added to the beauty
of the scene, and that some OF the
South's typical beauties graced the
occasion with their charm and love-
liness. From the list we clip the 1ol-
lowing:
"Miss Myrtle Schumpert, the guest
of Mrs. J. NJ. Berry, was becomlngly
dressed in a gown OF pure white chlt-
fon, which was beautifully embroider-
ed and worn over glistening satin. A
circular flounce OF the chiffon, TRIM
med with number OF tiny white chit
fon ruches, adorned the skirt. The
corsage had deep fall of lace around
the open neck, which was artistically
set off by a graceful cluster OF pure
white chiffon roses al one side OF the
open neck. Miss Schumperr carried
American beauty roses.

The Clinton Gazette wants lis to
tell him the origin OF Mollohon. Mr..
John A. Chapman, in his Annals OF
Newberry. says that the origin OF the
name is not positively known. The
name designates large section OF
country lying in the northeastern part
of Newberry county. Mr.. Chapman
says: There is tradition that it
sprang from a family of that name
who once lived somewhere on the
head waters of Hunting Fork ante
rior to the Revolutionary war" 1t is
a popular name.

COURT NEWS.

The April session of the Bolivar
court convened last Monday with
Judge Swayback on the bench and
dispensing justice according to the
speech Of the last lawyer in the case
The first case Gen the civil docket Wair
the suit of Mrs. Constable Blyfkins
against her husband for divorce on
the grounds of failure to provide. She
said he hadn't bought her more than
tive calico dresses and one hat a year
since they Wair married.; that she had
been a loving and dutiful wife; that
she Wair entitled to at least one lawn
dress in the summer and a alpaclly
dress in the winter, in addition to the
two calico dresses; that she wair
entitled to two hats a year and a
pair of Sunday shoes. Mr.. Blyfkyns'
lawyer said it Wair outrageous de-
mand on the part of Mrs, Blyfkyns;
that it wair wastoful extravaganza
W iliiii even P0Oplt II TIE most
affluent circumstances could net af-
ford; that such extravaganza wair mot
thought of even by the wives of the
rich corporationists, cotton brokers
and bankers down to Pine Bluff, and it
wair far beyond the NEST roseate
dreams Of the most prOfligate dressers
of gay Paree. Judge Swayback SAID
that he agreed with the eminent coun-
ell for the defendant, and thought it
would be setting a mighty bad prece-
dent to grant a wife divorce on such
complaint as that made in the case
now ON trial hence the complaint was
denied and the plaintiffs petition dis
missed. The case was one CT very
sensational interest, owing to the
prominence of the parties to the suit,
and the court room was crowded with
spectators every day while the case
was on trial. The married Mems
Protective Club" celebrated Constable
Blyfkyms' victory over this daring at
tempt to expand the practical workings
or the abomnable dogma of women's
rights with banquet in his honor

And office air its goal;

Chasing office costs US time;
