The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1921-04-01

when you happen TO be between both
it is -
We have quit trying to understand
whole lot of things. 1t IS not worth
while. What's the use? Life is too
short.
If the tail Of that coming comet is
to sweep the earth we hope Newber-
ry will be on the far side of the map.
AS it is never our intention to scare
people we won't tell Of the snake that
fell or was shaken from a tree along
certain street in Newberry, for fear
some one would imagine there was an
other snake up the tree.
A newspaper man knows a great
many things it would not do to pub
lish. You who think he didn't see
you or doesn't know of it, don't let
your little wooden god fool you. A
real newspaper man keeps good deal
to himself.
1t does not pay to print street ru-
mors. This reporter found that out
long ago.
There is nothing like having live
board of trade in any city. The men
temporarily in charge Of the cham
ber of commerce in this city are
workers, and they are being ably as
sisted by the membership in their
high aim at Greater Newberry. The
people are responding and the COM
munity is awake to the Importance of
the undertaking.
Who will make the next couple to
/ be prepared by Probate Judge Ewart
for some officiating minister? There
are several couples here showing 'the
outward and visible signs Of "the
inward" and fraternal feelings.
Some of the inhabitants Of this city
| are needing fresh paint-for their
| dwellings,.
Many people do not like carnlvals
for the city; although there are worse
things tolerated if not encouraged.
We are not advocating carnivals, but
wouldn't it be lively if there was
long and wide midway here, with
great white lights and attractive
amsements, and the sounds of fun by
| night? Mild excitement makes boys
and girls, young men and maidens,
and older ones, too, enjoy "their-
selves" We like live town. And
It is the people in it making town
what it is.
A representative of the Southeast
ern Underwriters association has
been in Newberry making survey Of
the town as to fire protection. This
association regulates the rates of in
surance. Mayor Blease has been
working some time to get the assor
citation to send a man here, hoping
that the new fire equipment and bet
ter water facilities would cause some
reduction of the insurance rates. A
report of the survey will be made
later.
Regular meeting of Brotherhood
of the Church of the Redeemer Fri
day night, 7:30. Full attendance de-
sired. Rev. C. j. Shealy will make
the address.
Work is progressing for the better
roads in city and county.
What has become of that straw hat
we saw the other day over that thin
undershirt.
You know Mr.. Spoon. Since he
opened up in a little room back Of
Gist's cotton office h els doing more
of stirring business.
Sam Lindsay, colored, who pleaded
guilty to drunk and disorderly in his
case before Magistrate Charles Doug
las Tuesday, paid the fine of S25.
Sam belonged to the bunch sentenced
by the magistrate some time ago, but
was not on hand at that time.
Speaking of the girl with the jazz
heart and such things, we have seen
The jazz bird from California, which
was sent Mrs. II. 3. Wells BY her
son. Fulmer. This little makeup
was made by Fulmer out Of a pine
burr and as pretty girl said Tues
day night is "cute" The bird has a
wooden head, wooden legs a@l feet,
with feather for the tail. Paint in
variegated colors makes the ''plu-
mage" look quite natural. Fu!mer
sis bird" when it comes to doing
things requiring talent.
One never knows. Only few days
ago little groups of men were plan
ming fishing trips. Now look at it.
No man can tell what day may
