Mr.. Thomas Hudson, whose home
has been in Uniontown, Ala, will
make his future home with his son,

Hudson lives at the old Spearman

before her marriage. Miss Sara Spear
man. His father will receive warm
welcome to Newberry county, and he
will find the home of his son happy
place to spend his remaining years,
not only because he will be surround
ed by his loved ones, but also because
of the ideal location Of his new home.
A recent issue of the Uniontown,

from Uniontown:
"Mr. Thomas Hudson, native
born Uniontown man, whose father
was a pioneer settler Of this section,

We notice that the c., c. & 0. rail
road authorities are making survey
on the, Newberry and Lexington side
of Broad river.
It would open up very rich Sec
ton of Newberry and Lexington
counties if the road were built on
this side Of the river, and 1t seems
to US if the line is located some dis
tance from the river that it would
strike ridge country through both
counties.
We do not know what the commit
tee from our chamber of. commerce is
doing or has done towards having
the road come via Newberry. We
hope that the committee from the
chamber of commerce is awake to the
Importance Of doing everything that
is possible to secure this road for
Newberry, because it is probably the
last opportunity Newberry will have
to secure through line.

If it had contained a. provision to
let the county attorney take the place
Of the solicitor it would have been a

passed as introduced and the county
attorney had performed the duties re-
