Rev. Y Won A. Riser, interested in
all the work of the church at large,
attended the opening exercises at
Newberry college last Thursday. He
went to Columbia Wednesday to at
tend the opening exercises of tae
Lutheran Theological seminary. He is
enthusiastic over both these insti-
tutions and reports splendid work be-
ing done with bright future for
these schools
The long bridge over Cannon's
creek has been patched up, and priz-
ed and leveled up until it looks al
most like new bridge. Some of our
roads show that a great deal of work
has been done in very short time OF
late. They need some more work, but
our compliments to you, Mr.. Super
visor. The writer thinks, and some
few others agree with him, that our
roads in places could be changed
little, so as to have new road beds
where the old bed is worn to the
rocks, and never can be made good
again without great expense to the
county Some people along the roads
where such places occur could be in
duced to give the land necessary for
new road bed, if the supervisor or
some one else in whom they have
confidence would show them the ad-
vantage to themselves and others as
we'll. Good roads are just like tele-
phones. when people get used to them
they would not do without them for
anything. Readers, let's give new
road beds where they are needed so
badly, and let's go with wagons and
help our enthusiastic supervisor to
make good roads for you. The writer
is willing to do his part, with good
roads. better schools, easier travell-
ing. diversiful farming. A little time
every day for reading, with a day off
once and awhile for diversion, the
country-our Newberry county Will
be far better than town, and that is
what we want and work for, so let
us all remember that we are all one
body of united brotherhood, and quit
so much complaining, and go forward
and work for the best interest OF
our country life which is the most de-
sirable life on earth.
We notice that Messrs H. F. and w.
H. Counts will give a barbecue at
Fork school house FRIDAY, September
%. It is expected that this cue will
20 we'll offended as this will proba-
bly, be the last one Of tae season.
Lumber is being placed on the
ground for the new school building
at St. Paul and Jolly Street. The
old buildings Will be used until the
new ones are completed.
Quite a crowd attended the Robin
son circus at Newberry Tuesday. They
report a very pleasant time.
