You could not possibly have a more convenient and
efficient stove in your kitchen than the New Boss
the blue flame oil stove of new principle and design.
The New Boss will toast, roast, bake, broil or fry as
we'll as any coal, wood or gas range and with less
expense of fuel and less trouble to the cook.
The New Boss proves the economy and efficiency
of oil as a fuel-and unlike many other oil stoves, is
not limited in it's usefulness.
Best of all, you have any degree of heat at your
instant control with a turn of the wrist, "high,'

1t is rumored that our supervisor
is going to have the Warrenton-
Abbeville road worked. We hope he
isn't making rash promises that he
can't keep, for that would be the
"most unkindliest cut of ALL" We
shall be bitterly disappointed if
something isn't done to our road at
an early date. Four weeks ago the
writer went to Abbeville in a buggy.
She came home, went to bed and
stayed there three weeks. We are
not saying that the bad road was the
whole cause of her illness, but it sure
ly had a great deal to do with it.
During her illness she was visited by
her mother, Mrs. w. l. Herbert from
Newberry. Mrs. Herbert's first re-
marks on reaching u home was,
"Well, your Abbeville roads are no
better than the ones in Newberry."
Now, this is no compliment, for the
Newberry roads are nothing to be
proud of. We saw DR.. Nickles'
piece in the Medium, and we beg to
say that the zone or two people," to
whom he refers, are not quarreling
about the expense, so much as the
time that is being put on the roads
that are already in fair condition,
while other roads are sadly neglected.
We are afraid too that the Doctor is
mistaken in the number of people
who are complaining about the road.
1t is true that only one or two people
make their complaint thru the COL
umns of the newspaper, but a much
larger number than that are talking
rough roads. 1 dare say the physi-
clans who have to come out our way
will back US in what we say on this
subject.
