Rehearsals have begun in earnest
on the A. E. F. musical comedy,
"Sittin' Pretty" The comedy is ex-
tremely funny throughout and was
produced overseas with great success.
The scene is laid in "Y" hut near
Toul. France, November 1918.
"Sittin' Pretty tells the story of
a doughooy who poses as q welfare
worker, saves party of A. W. o. L.
soldiers from court martial, ehaper-
ones two charming daughters of
French nobleman in hut, and saves
the boys from drowning (in cognac).
The post has decided to present the
play on November 10th, the day on
which Armistice day will be celebrat-
ed in Newberry. The scene of the
comedy being laid in France will
make the play fitting close to our
Armistice day celebration.
The committee in charge is max
ing big preparations for November
10th. Col. ]. NJ. Johnson will be the
orator Of the day on this occasion.
All who have heard Col. Johnson say
there is treat in store for us.
The fifth article on "Who Got the
Money!" appears in the Weekly of
Oct. 6. Read it. You will find it
interesting. This article tells how
that Philadelphia broker in April,
1921, bought roast beef for 1.3 cents
pound for which the government
paid 4S.S cents. Once in private
hands this beef went on the market
at 81 cents a pound wholesale. But
for the short time that the army was
! in retail business, it sold this same
beef direct to the consumer fer more
than 81 cents pound.
You will find all of Marquis James
articles intensely interesting. Any
one desiring to obtain them can get
! them at "The New Book Store"
All who viii help with the choruses
| in "Sittin' Pretty" are asked to
meet at the Legion hall Tuesday ev-
ening, October 10, at 8 o'clock.

left Newberry at Z o'clock. We went
up Main street, turning to the right
at Dr.. Dunn's, and walked on, cross
ing Johnstone street with Johnstone's
woods on the right. After walking a
little further we turned to the left at
the end of the woods After we
turned we met man who asked US
if we were hiking. We then passed
over little creek, and on under the
new branch power line. We walked
on, passing houses and passed "a
church and school. At the three mile
post we met man with a load OF
watermelons. We bought one and ate
it. A man asked US to ride but we
thanked him and explained to him
that we could not. We walked on and
crossed the. railroad into Prosperity
about 10 o'clock We met the scout
master of the Prosperity troop and
talked with him and were invited to
attend his meeting. We thanked him
and told him that we were going back
before night. We rested while and
then got something to drink, after

One day in June James Dunstan
and I started on our fourteen mile
hike. After starting out man came
along and asked US to ride, but we
thanked him and told him that we
were out to take a test and that we
could not accept, as the test required
us to walk all the way. We passed
the place where the road leads off to
LYNCH woods. We went on about
half mile and saw a house or two
with peculiar gables on them. We
passed great many birds on the
way and several houses. When we
got within half mile of Prosperity
we saw some men jacking UP Ford
to fix tire. We offered them our
assistance, but they declined. They
found that they would have to return
to Prosperity and offered to take Us
in. but we declined. One Of the fel-
lows said that he had been a Scout
in Greenwood. When we were en-
tering the town we saw ruby
crowned kinelet When We got 10

gone abou. two miles we stopped and
filed our canteenS at we'll. When
we cot the water we went down the
road piece and ate our lunch. Al
ter about quarter hour we start
ed home again. but we had to stop
because | had pain in my side. In
