ley's heavenly bugaboo. we reao
yesterday why it is not on exhibition
or Just as advertised. 1t has been
arrested for speeding by an airship
policeman and can't get in on sche-
dule> time until it has paid its fine,
retailed itself or made whatever other
repairs were necessary to complete
restoration to the ethereal pathway.
We don't mind this cool snap for
we've had most refreshing rain.
Every kind and color Of vegetation
seems to be dressed in a brighter,
brand new green.
Mr.. Olin Bobb spent Saturday and
Sunday at home.
MIR. and Mrs. Whitmire, Of Winns-
boro, are spending the week at Mr..
B. B. Schumpert1s
Mrs. Lawrence Sease and little
daughter, Of Clemson College, are
guests at Hunter Heights.
Rev. Ira Caldwell claims to be the
latest would-be chauffeur. He has
just fallen heir to a handsome Ford
car. We are glad he has a machine
for it vii. facilitate very much his
Sabbath appointments and pastoral
calls.
Little Misses Mayes, Burton, Jones
and McCraoken, Of Newberry, visited
Miss Mary Lizzie Wise last week.
| A bevy of gay young folk came
dcwn this far with the Attaway-
Meador wedding party, and seemed
to fill the interim between trains
very pleasantly.
Mr.. J. NJ. Wheeler, We are glad to
say, is much improved and still i'm
proving.
Prosperity has decided to raise her
quota, $500, which, by the way is
entirely too much in comparison, to-
wards the erection Of a steel bridge
over Kempson's ferry. The contract
will be let within the next 10 days,
and the bridge built during the SUM-
mer, so we've been told.
Dr. Herbert's lecture Wednesday
evening was rightly given the Last
place on the program, for it was
worth all the other attractions con-
bined. But then We must not make
comparisons, suffice it to say his
effort was superb It was long, btu
no one realized the fact. It was
humorous and witty without any
seeming effort on the speakers Part;
and all realized and applaudsd. It
! was practical, interesting, and in
lsfructive, thoughtful, comparative,
which features were realized and ap-
preciated. If this gifted man does
not come Prosperitward next year,
We are forced to believe that it will
be ,beeauss we have no lyceum orbe-
cause he has retired from the plat
form. ;-s;x, t:s@8
We had the pleasure, along with
the others Of our teaching force, Of
attending the Teachers association
at Little Mountain Saturday last. We
had heard nothing but favorable re-
ports Of the school building there,
standing out in all its pristine new
ness and whiteness, and for once ru-
NOR had not been careless or ex-
travagant in her use Of descriptives.
We went, We saw, but the conquer
ing was on the part Of Little Noun
tain-her hospitaible people, her
thoughtful, solicitous superintendent,
Mr.. V. B. Sease, and his corps of
happy, competent assistants, Mrs.
Shealey, Misses Summer and Davis.
We were met at the train and given a
hearty welcome and more invitations
to dinner than any ordinary mortal
could accept IN one DAY.
We repaired presently to the beau
tiful school building of which the
whole county is proud-as our paper
opened the advertised discussions, in
the absence Of Mr.. DERRICK, whom
the teachers will never forgive for
his absence, for We wanted to hear
from layman for a change. Then
We were prepared to sit back and
really enjoy the rest Of the meeting.
Mr.. Sease entertained all with his
, thoughtful observations about the
schools relation to the community
and by request, gave some personal,
| local items Of interest bearing on
this.
4 meeting of the teachers would "a
thing apart if Prof. Derrick and
Dean Holloway absented themselves.
We alwayss look forward to their
flow of wit and wisdom and knocks
