man Mason last week when he should
have put him down as an Odd Fellow.
The reporter will not lay it on the
printer or the proof reader There
are so many meetings, and so many
Newberrians in the front ranks, that
it is not to be wondered at when a
mere reporter slips up in trying to
keep up with them.
People from the country come in
and inspect the new postofice build
ing. They pronounce it beautiful
structure which pleases them very
much. They like the looks of the ed

surroundings, thinking they have bet

berry has from the postofice to the
depot.
Mr.. Clarence Hutchinson's little son
Roland met with a painful and nsar
serious accident on Friday afternoon.
