TVESTY.FOUR YEARS.

nership with Mr.. VIM. P. Houseal' ana
purchased the paper and the printing
outfit from Mr.. 40 c. Jones.
There have been many changes Ill
Newberry during that time. So far as
we can. recall now. without reference
n the records, there are only two
firms in Newberry doing business at
this time who were in business then,
and whose firm name has not been
charged. They are Mr.. Otto klettner
and Mr.. Jos. Mann. 1t was then c. &
G. s. Mower, and now C. & G. S. Now
or company, though the business OF
this firm has been practically un-
CHANGED. At that time they handled
groceries in the store room now DE-
voted to shoes.
Then there was only one bank at
Newberry with Mr.. Robt. L. McCaugh-
rim as president. The National oank
was the only banking institution in
the county. Today there are three
other banks in Newberry, making four
in all; three at Prosperity, one at Lit
tie Mountain, one at Pomaria, one at
Whitmire, one at Chappells, and one
in process of organization at Silver
street, There is no officer connected
with the National bank today, who
was in the bank then.
The Newberry Observer was printed
and published by Wallace and Kinard
and edited by Mr.. ". H. Wallace
though during these years, he has
filed the positions of professor OF
mathematics in the Columbia college,
superintendent in the Newberry grad
ed school, and editor of the Greenville
News.
In the Office force Of The Herald
and News, Mr.. H. NJ. Barger has been
with the paper almost continuously
during the "a years. Mr.. R. H. Creme
ker. who was with US then. is with
US now, though for number Of years
he was not connected with the paper.
Then we printed an eight-column,
four-page paper once a week, and sold
it for $3.50 year. Now we are print
ing a six-column, eight-page paper
twice a, week, and sell it at the same
price.
There is not preacher serving a
congregation in NeWberry today who
was here then. There is no teacher in
the graded schools today who taught
there "a years ago. There is not a
professor OF Newberry college who
was a professor there in 1887.
And, yet, it SENS but short time
since the Office of The Herald and
News was on the corner of Caldwell
and Friend streets, in a little wooden
building on what is now part of the
Methodist church iot, just across the
street from our present location.
We had forgotten until just the day
before going to press that this is our
anniversary or we might have dealt a
little more in reminiscence.
Mr.. Houseal left US after seven
years, and We undertook to run the
business alone. After seven years
more, or thereabout, we formed the
E. H. Aull Co., and that company con-
tinues to print the paper, but there
has been no change in the editorial
department.
We have endeavored to serve the
people Of Newberry city and county as
we'll as the people of the State, to the
best of our ability, always standing
for those things which we conceived
to be for the best intersrs of the COM
munity, and the advancement of the
people. We shall continue to pursue
that policy so long as we are connect
ed with the publication of this paper.
There is one man in longer continu-
Gus service Of he public in Newb2rry
and that man is Howard Franklin. He
has been on the police force continU-
