The Herald and News force, the

green celery, looked. very inv Ing,
and when the guests. were seated, at
ter the blessing by Mr.. W. F. Ewart,
the first course, a steaming oyster

During the supper the conversation
was general, but while the ice course
was being enjoyed, Mr.. E. q. Anll,
editor of The Herald and News, with
a few appropriate words introduced
the first speaker, Hon. Cole. l..
Blease, mayor Of the city, whose
rising was hailed with applause.
In his earnest, pleasing manner,
Mr.. Blease told the young folks tilat
Newberry has many things to he
proud Of; she is proud Of her news
papers, because they are clean, and
because We have at their heals rlen
who, are fair, conscientious, and be-
lieving in a square deal for. every
one, and promoting the good of the
city and individuals. ''And New
berry is particularly proud of her
young people, said Mr.. Blease,
F"but I am sorry that there IS only
one young lady present, but I car
tell you why that is; it is this, that
this one is so attractive that the 9TH
ers were dubious about coming In. F"
In speaking to the boys, Mr.. Blease
said that some day all Of them would
be editors of newspapers, some
school teachers, and some even may
or of this city;and a part governor Of
South Carolina, it was up to them to
make their mark in the world, and
he told them that this country de-
pended on them. {. -.
Then in speaking Of the winning
of the prizes, the speaker told the
contestants that Of course it was I'M
possible for every one to win a prize,
but he hoped that if the charming
young lady should be fortunate
enough to be awarded the first prize
he hoped the boys would be gallant
enough to take of their hats to her
and express their pleasure at her
good luck.
At the close Of Mr.. Blease's talk
the Rev. Mr.. Fulenwider was intro
duced to the guests, and remember
ing the toast masters admonition> at
the beginning Of the addresses, to be
brief. Mr.. Fulenwider began by say
ing that he was not accustomed to
making short speeches as all who
were in the habit Of going to the
Church of the Redeemer could testi-
fly. He was very glad to be pres
ent, he said, and he continued, say
ing that in many towns in which he
had been located he found that the
newspapers had been. more or less
Indifferent concerning the churches
and their work, but in Newberry he
had always had the most courteous
and interested assistance Of the
newspapers, and that he apprecia-
ted very much the kindness shown
