The health Of our community is

Mrs. Betty Dickert continues quite

road in the suburbs of Newberry.
Mr.. Fred Norris, who moved to
Fairfield about eight years ago, has
returned to Newberry to live. We well
come him back to his native heath.
There was a right good week day
congregation at Lebanon last Satur-
day. Col. j. C. S. Brown, the Nestor

A large per cent Of the farmers of
this neighborhood are using ploughs
to break land to which they hitch
from, two to four mules.
From information gained by in
quiry, I judge that Newbe1ry's cotton
acreage will be about what it was last
year. If farmers would raise more
mules and cattle; and grow more corn
and oats and hay I think they would
be masters of the cotton situation.

Buster Brown

George Ali, is the cleverest animal
impersonator on the American stage.
To see him in "Buster Brown do

barber-shop Indian chuckle with de-
light. He can do everything dog
was ever known to do and a good deal
more, from a wink Of the eye, to an
exhibition Of two rows Of teeth and
from wearing a cap on his head, to a
set of tin cans on his tail. He is al
ways in fairly good humor, except
when "dear Grandma is nearby,
when he objects to her strong-mlnd-
ed theories as we'll his elder master
and uses all his persuasive powers,
both noxious and obnoxious to get her
to leave the place, feeling safer when
she is not near. She naturally fears
him and it is very funy to see his
crouch ready to spring at her and
show his teeth with an ominous growl,
when. she strides forth, convincingly,
towards him and assures Mrs. Brown
that "he ought to be shot, she re-
treats in confusion as "Tige' chases
her. Opera house Friday night.

A Cautious Depositor.

An old negro went to the bank in
which he kept his hard earned savings
says Harper's Weekly, and asked the
paying teller to give him all the mon
ey he had deposited. He offered nc
explanation of his sudden desire tc
withdraw his funds, and after vain
argument with him the teller counted
out the bills and delivered them to
the old man. He eyed the paper
money a moment, and said:
kin l git dat in silver, boss?"
The teller assured him he could
and forthwith made the exchange
The old negro retired to neighbor-
ing desk, remained crouched over il
long time, and then, to the teller s
great surprise, returned to the win
dow and gleefully thrust his money
back through the pigeonhole. Be-
fore he could speak, the old man said,
grinning widely:
"Thanks, boss, you kin take it
back. I jes wanted t. see eff it wuz
all there.'

Col. Johnstone asked her if she

what she sang. The solicitor objected
and Col. Joknstone set in to ezhort
the court and crowd in sarcastic vein
about the virtue Of woman Who
would sing ribald songs with words
of perfectly disgusting character,
when Miss Sheridan said:
"Your honor, please let me answer
the question: ..
"Do so,' said the Judge kindly.
''I sang the same songs and en-
cores which I sang here in "Nothing
Bnt Money!
She named over the songs and they
were the same ones she sang a fort
night or so ago.
"There is nothing ribald or dis
gusting in them,'' she said, "Ill re-
peat the words to you if you will let
me repeat them
":Oh! no. no. said Col. Johnstone:
"but didn't the newspapers-'
II do not control the newspapers. -
she broke in. and there was laugh
in spite Of the Judges rebuke.
Col. Joshnstone sat down. The peo-

Location Of New Court House.


Of course the location Of the new
court house authorized to be built by
the last legislature is a matter en-
tirely in the hands of the commission
appointed under the act yet We pre-
sumo it would be legitimate for 9TH
ers to suggest locations. Quite a
number Of sites have been mentioned.
In the location, if it is to be chang
ed from where it is, the commission
should select place that is conven-
;ent to the business portion Of the
:ity and at the same time place that
will be quiet and with sufficient
grounds that grass plots and flowers
gardens could be added, so that with
he severeness Of justice We might be
surrounded by views pleasing to the
we.
We know Of no place that meets
these requirements so completely as
the square on which was formerly the
I'D female academy which is now used
by Mr.. Joseph Mann as a residence.
The other half of the lot is owned by
Mr.. P. E. Scott and it is understood
that this square could be secured at a
reasonable price.
It is only two short squares from
the public square and only one square
from the postofice.

Dear Sn:-I noticed in the OBJ
server today that Brother Peterson
had broken the record as to business
on his rural route for the month Of
| February, especially issuing money
orders, having issued thirty-eight
during the month, which l think is do
ing remarkably we'll. However, I
have it on him little in the money
order biz. After seeing his record to-
day, I thought would look over my
work for February and see how it
compared with his, and found that l
had issued forty in round numbers,
eclipsing Brother Peterson by two or
ders. So you see that if I am serving
an R. F. D. in sure enough rural
district, there is something doing as
far as money orders are concerned.
Ny business for the past four months
November, December, January and
February compare very favorably,
and as long as the negroes money
holds out to order cheap liquor from
the North Carolina distillers, I don t
apprehend any decrease in same. I
have issued as high as seven orders in
one day.
