BIG THINGS HAPPENING
IN NEWBERRY THIS WEEK

BIG IHlNGS HAffEN1NN
IN NEWBERRY THIS WEEK
This is to be big week in New
berry, and the two weeks following
are to be weeks of celebration. And
OF thankfulness. To celebrate the
victory our boys won over seas in the
world conflict, and to be thankful
that we are able to do our part in
winding up the business, and to keep
our promise to them that those of us
who remained at home would be
faithful, and that the work We had
to do in this business would be done
as it should be.
We should be thankful that the war
is over and that the only thing that
we are called upon to do is to lend
some money to the government to
finish paying the bills
We had on Tuesday the movie pic
ture showing the price the boys paid
for the victory they won, or at least
giving some faint idea of what they
suffered, and we had with the picture
Lieutenant Dozier from our own
state, who won laurels on the field,
to tell some of the things that the
boys suffered, and to tell it as one
who saw and knew from actual ex-
perience.
On Saturday afternoon we are to
have a real war tank with some of
the boys who operated one of these
machine yhen it was in the front
dealing ceath and destruction to the
enemy, and to tell US all about it. The
tank will be on the public square and
all the people of the county are well,
come to come and see it for them
selves. That is what it is being sent
out for, for you to see and to learn
: something about 1t and its operation.
And It is to be here on Sunday after
noon. or that is the promise. but to be
sure that you will be able to see it
neusr. come on saturday afternoon.
1t goes, from here to Clinton and may
leave on Sunday at noon. So to make
sure to see 1t come On Saturday.
: On Sunday afternoon at the court
rheuse at o'clock there is to --hes<a.
huge mass meeting OF all the people
OF the county, so far as the capacity
Of the building will permit, and all of
the people are urged to be here: DR..
what it was to bare your breast to the
Wright are to speak, but in addition
to them, and of more interest to us
just now without disparaging what
they may have to say, is the privilege
of hearing Captain Glenn, Chester
boy who has seen actual service and
can tell us, from his own experiences
Cfomer and Col. Hunt and Mayor
fire of the enemy. Captain Glenn is
a son of our lawyer friend Hon. J. l..
Glenn and comes of good stock and
made a good soldier and has the
ability to tell us something Of what
the war was Be sure to hear him.
And then we will have Captain Ell
1iott Springs of Lancaster, son OF
our other friend Col. Leroy Springs,
the big cotton mill man and capital
ist, and he was one Of those air
men whose efficiency probably had
more to do with the change in the
tide of war than any other branch of
the service. For it is true that until
our birds got over there Germany had
the ascendency in the air fighting, but
as soon as our boys got in the game
the Allies ruled the air and those
awful raids on hospitals made by the
Germans ceased And then Captain
Springs is one of the best of the fly
ers that We had, and is one of a very
few who are called aces. And as we
understand the term it means super
iority not only in handling your ma
chine but also in the matter Of fight
ing the enemy, and he has been dec
GRATED for bravery and efficiency.
Now we know that you will be in
Ierested in hearing these heroes tell
the story, so come right along to New
berry Sunday afternoon and get your
seat in the court house early, for it is
sure to be filled.
And then after Sunday the
committees will go out and get the
people to lend the government the
money necessary to finish up the job
and pay our debts, and we will do
