drug store in the State. They do
fine business, consequently their
store is always stocked with the
freshest goods, and you can always
find what you want in that line at
that place.
One thing that great many other
towns have taat Laurens mas not and
that she ought and could have is a
rest rCcm for ldies who do their
shopping here.-Laurens Advertiser.
Mighty right you are and you ought
to come here and see Newberrys rest
room as conducted by Mrs. NJ. B.
Evans. Then you would start one
right away.
One of the chief features of the
town is the motion picture show at
the old court house, called the Theato,
managed by D. R. Lavender and in
his absence by George C. SWittenbers
and Frank F. Taylor. These young
men are reliable and attentive to their
duties, giving the public clean service
and affording enjoyment and amuse-
ment to many people.
1t matters not what public position
one may hold, it is the duty of such
person, man or woman, to be
pleasant and agreeable to the public
in the discharge of his or her work.
You are paid to do the work, and you
have no right to be snappish and dis
agreeable. Occasionally some person
ought to lose a job. 1t wouldn't then
take long for others to understand
certain things.
United States Army officer Geo
Keller, headquarters at Columbia, S.
c., is in Newberry examining pros
pective soldiers, trying to get recruits
for the army, young men who want to
carry Uncle Sans guns. Officer kel-
Ter in representing the war depart
ment, Washington, D. c., is anxious
to secure applications for enlistment.
Now is a chance ffr some young men
who desire that kind of life and work.
Little Dorrit,' that fine subject by
Charles Dickens, will be the attrac-
ton at the Arcade-Airdome Friday !
ternoon and night 1t is the hope OF
the management that every child un-
der twelve will get to see this, and
to that end the offer has been extend
ed to allow them the opportunity,
hence every child under II applying
at the Arcade between II and II
o'clock Friday will receive free tick
ct to Little Dorrit' from 2 to 4
o'clock Friday. This will be appre-
ciated by the children and by the chill
dren's parents.
The Herald and News has said too
many nice and pleasant things about
the postofflce people and about other
people and things in Newberry for
anybody to become offended at any
little adverse criticism it may make.
This paper falls back on it's record Of
saying pleasant things of people and
claims it has a right to comment free
ly, because it tries to do right. There
fore, emboldened by the universal up
holding of the community in a little
criticism Tuesday, this paper makes
bold to say that the postoffice front
door should remain unlocked through
out the night so as to allow belated
and other travellers opportunity of
having access to the postofflce at all
hours to suit their convenience. This
is done in other cities and gives sat-
isfaction. Another custom peculiar
to the Newberry postof1ce is that the
breeze is shut off for fear that other
wise it would be so pleasant there
that people would linger too long
when going for their mails. This, at
least, is what one of the colored en-
ployes of the office said.
