Personal.

daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. Rikard, for the past six
weeks, has been quite i'll. 1t is
gratifying to note that she is now
Somewhat improving.
Mr.. Nolan Epps, who has been
working III the Newberry dlspen-
sary for the past two months. IS
now at home.
Well. the legislature made very
little change II the road law. after
all our writing and speaking last
summer. | am truly sorry that
Representative .Aull failed to get
his road bill through. | think.
along with many others. that it was
one OF the best solutions OF the
good roads problem ever present
ed. But it takes time for every
thing. Radical changes can not be
made in a day. The change max
ing it optional for each county to
decide as to the number of days and
to fix the Communication taN-not
to exceed six DAYS labor and $500
communication taN-was a very
much needed change in the law. for
what may suit some counties does
not suit others.
Edgar Feagle, son of Mr.. L. I.
Feagle, has gone to Pomaria to
clerk for John c. Aull & CO.
Clinton Kinard, who has been
working at the Newberry Knitting
mill for the past few months, is now
at home.
We have been having some
spring-like days and the most of
US farmers have begun to pull the
bell cord. Some few oats have
been sown this week.
When will the ground hog come
Out again. 1t is hoped the Old TEL
low will soon come out and stay
out.
We are having the friendliest
kind OF nlunps down here | ever
saw. There is no such thing as
getting rid OF them except BY en-
tertaining them for a while.
What's that YOU said: Nothing,
only this is campaign YEAR. How
do vou know? Well. I've Just seen
a few candidates bobbing up their
heads. And YOU can mark what I
tell YOU: this is going to be live
" time with some folks. There
are going to be hot times in other
places than old town. Stand BY
your friends, boys; this has always
been my aalotto.
Mr.. John F. Eckburg, a good
old servant OF the Lutheran church,
who was very faniliarlv known
throughout the Newberrv Lutheran
conference. died at the home OF his
son, Charles. in Saluda county. on
the 10Th OF February. Mr.. Eek
burg had been in lingering health
for several months and his son
had carried him to his home, just
six weeks previous to his death, to
care for him. With other conpli-
cations. heart failure finally
brought on the end. | haven't any
record Of his age. but suppose that
his pilgrimage on earth was fully
mans allotted TIME of three score
years and ten. The deceased was

and was always faithful to duty.

services were conducted by his pas
tor. the Rev. P. II. f. Derrick.
