| During the wet spell in Newberry
a man told US that the people in
Spartanburg were praying for rain.
Our informant being a man that
jokes as often as he tells the truth,
it is hard to know how to take it. If
Spartan5urg needs rain that way we
would like to pray some of it away
! from Newberry and let her have all
she wanted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earle Bullock and
little son (great boy that baby) re-
turned last week, Mrs. Bullock from
the home Of her parents at Chap
in and Earle from a fishing trip he
had taken to the low country
swamps; but he had to cut his visit
short-too much rain water. How
ever, the party caught some fish. Let
him tell it, as it might here be con-
sidered a fish tale.
We feel safe in saying that New
berry has more good people than can
be boasted Of by any other city of
it's size in the world Newberry
abounds in good people. But when
you come to think of it, most people
are good, and there IS something
good in everybody.
