several years has been the popular
manager of the Lexington branch OF

Cur NeWberry Letter.

We have been blessed with a
bountiful supply of beans, cabbage,
irish potatoes, cucumbers and such
other vegetables as is necessary to
make vegetable soup. Oh. my,
those good old summer time vege-
tables. Come up, Mr.. Editor, and
help to devour some of them.
Every member Of the various
Christian churches in this common
wealth of ours should on the 14th
day of September, next, go to their
polling precincts and vote for pro-
hibition from the fact that, with
the assistance of one of our national
laws. known as the Webb law,
would greatly relieve us of the
Whiskey traffic in this state.
Should there be no providential
hindrance two of our prominent
townsmen, Chief Police S. M. Dun
can and former sheriff M. M.
Buford, will be in the race for the
sherif's office in this county next
summer.
The rah, rah, rah boys have left
for their respective homes to take
few months vacation. We wish
to see all those who have not finished
their courses return in Septem-
ber with determination to make
the next session one Of the most
successful years in the history of
their former college days. We well
come their presence in our city as
our streets and college grounds
seem to be very lonely. Mrs. Prof.
S. j. Derrick and a student of the
college, Mr.. Morgan, Of Ohio, their
voices are greatly missed in the
eh OR of their church. We wish
for their early return.

The; market appears to be good.
Everywhere you go in Columbia

full, and the price remains good.

Tribute Of Respect.

Whereas, God in His infinite wis
dom, has seen fit to take from us
on May Z, 1915, Mrs. G. E. Lewis.
She was one OF the most faithful
members Of the Wonan's Foreign
Missionary Society Of Pond Branch
Episcopal Church South. Her traits
were such as none but the finger Of
God can write. She was loved By
all who knew her and was always
bright and cheerful, full of life and
fun: When we getto Heaven we
shah not be satisfied until we meet
our sister. May the Lord give grace
and comfort to her dear husband
and children, and may we all meet
where parting is no more.
