In Tuesdays Herald and News our
readers had the pleasure Of reading
two letters on the weather, one writ
ten in Canada where it was extremely
cold and the other in Florida where

shirt sleeves hunting the shade.
Truly this is great globe.
Progress is being made towards fit
ting up the upper floor of the old
court house by the Newberry County

Home Guard Co. are removed the
other small room will be fitted up for
writing room, while the large court
room is being made into an athletic
room, where basket, volley and hand
ball will be enjoyed by the members

personal mention of we'll known
citizen, as follows: "Mr. Wr. W. G.
Peterson, an old Confederate veteran
and R. F. D. carrier from Route No.

and Mrs. D.. A. Collins in West
Washington street, Greenville, and
going daily to DR.. Jervey for electric
treatment for his eyes. Mr.. and Mrs.
Collins having learned that Mr.. Peter
sons birthday would be on the 22nd,
