It was fine day and everything SO

some mighty fine days here but there
was system in the handling Of the
crowd and all We'd with one another
to make the day pleasant and they
were fixed for it. The entertain

" Hipp. President Child himself
assisted in the serving ef the din

It is impossible for me to 60 to
Whitmire without calling the atten-
tion of the people of Newberry TO
the Importance of doing something to
improve the roads between the TWO
towns, and in this way to make (tne
folk of the two towns the better &C. :,
ouainted with one another so that II
will not seem to some when they. go
from one town to the other that they
are going to another county. 1t IS OF
vital Importance and if something is
not done we may live to regret the
neglect. And then there IS announcer
thing to which ] have referred De-
fore and that is that we have no d.
rect telephone connection between
the two towns except by long dis
tance, and there should be a line
built from Whitmire to Newherry 50
that even if you can not t. vel tne
road we might be able to talk to one
another without having to call long
distance. This is a good job for the
new secretary of the chamber OF
commerce to begin work on and II
should be done right now. Delays
are dangerous.
