NJ. C. Hallman at Cannons Creek
church Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Hallman, who runs barber shop
over the store of j. NJ. Counts, de-
votes much of his spare time to the
inspiring art of singing. Those

cises Sunday afternoon. We know the
people of that community will well
come their city cousins.

Newberry's new county Superintend-
ent of education, Mr.. Clemson M. Will
son, didn't lose any time since COM
ing from his Jonesville school to be-
gin preparation for his larger and
higher duties AS the first step to-
ward future success he went to Be-
thune Thursday In his pocket was a
marriage license that had just been
issued by Probate Judge W. F. Ewart,
who likes to hand out these little slips
of paper. Watch the papers for the
result of Superintendent Wilson's trip
to Bethune. The name of the bride
elect is Miss Addie Mae Kelly.
Dewitt c. Johnson, one Of the
steadiest of the colored citizens oe
Newberry. returned IN Monday from
Dallas, Texas, where he had been at
tending the sessions of the 129th an
nual convention Of the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian churches in
the United States of America. He
went as delegate from the Mcclellan
presbytery of South Carolina. Dallas
treated the large number of delegates
in royal style. Each delegate was
given miniature cotton bale and
ether emblems of industry as souve-
Mrs of the meeting. It was highly
representative gathering of the color

speaketh the Greenville News regard
ing the telephone girl The same
paper wisely and we'll says that tele-
phone operators are among the most
intelligent and helpful. public servants
We have. "They have to stand a good
deal of thoughtless and discourteous
language from wooden-headed women
and bone-head men, although we fan
cy that the former give them more
trouble than anybody else when they
spend the morning on the wire re-
failing scandal and exchanging silly
chatter" Doubtless the News is
right about the "wooden-headed wo-
men" and the "bone-headed men," We
may have some bone (dry) headed
men in Newberry but there are no
wooden-headed women in this place,
although what the News SO truly says
of the telephone girls will strike a
popular chord.
