the call of humanity in the work for
disabled war veterans.
The meeting Of the district medical
association in this city Thursday al
ternoon was. said by members to be
the best ever held in the history OF
the society. That being the case We
are glad DR.. Housea, invited the doc
tors to meet here.
Mr.. Eb B. Blease of Greenville
and his daughter, Mrs. E. D. Putt OF
Charlotte are visiting relatives in
Newberry.
Friday morning just after Mr.
Clarence Wertz had reached his Of
fce where he makes out your water
and light bill his wife phoned that he
had better hurry home to kill mad
cat there. He dropped everything in
a hurry and darted around to police
headquarters, got Officer John Liv-
ingston, who armed himself addition
ally with riot gun, when the two
made tracks. Mr.. Livingston prompt
~ killed the cat. 1t had been having
fits. Mr.. Wertz says the cat looked
at him with the greenest eyes he ev-
er saw in cats head. The baby was
playing with the cat that morning

was explaining meals" to her little
pupils, telling them about breakfast,
dinner and supper. Now, said she,
can anyone tell what meal it was this

The new Newberry Building and
Loan association ought to succeed
with such substantial citizens as
President C. C. Schumpert and Sec
retary and Treasurer T. L. Hicks at
its head and shoulders.
The Third District Medical society,
at its meeting in Newberry Thursday
afternoon, did the appropriate and
right thing in electing our DR.. W. G.
Houseal president. DR.. Houseal is
one of the most learned men in the
state, not only as leading and prom
inent physician, but as a citizen in
the everyday walks of life. A better
head could not possibly have been
chosen.
We had the pleasure of seeing DR..
Hughes Of Laurens here Thursday as
he was attending the meeting of doc
tors of this medical district. We knew
DR.. Hughes during our stay of six
years in Laurens. He is a good doc
tor and good man, and is the same
friendly fellowman today as he was
yesterday and will be tomorrow-al-
ways and invariably kind and gentle,
with warm grasp of the hand and
a genial twinkle of the eye.
Mr.. L. I. Blalock is running fine
advertising moving picture at the op-

ton"
Aull of it doesn't Count to the ex-
clusion Of everything else-The Her
aid and News is still here.
Rabbits and squirrels are being
brought in now and they are good
eating. And 'possum hunting is pop
ular and profitable. This is a good
season of the year, the best time, ev-
en- though October did go back on
US in 1922.
The Girl from Greenwich Village
Friday night was good. The girls ap-
peared to be very youthful and good
looking. The music, scenery, singing
and acting and everything connected
with the show seemed to please the
large audience. There was plenty of
amusing fca throughout the perform
ance. As musical comedy it was
cheering and satisfactory. It came
nearer filing the bill as rer idver
tisement than any roadnsha - the
history Of the opera house.
The many friends of Mrs. j. R.
Scurry will be pleased to learn that
she is abe to sit up. She has been at
the Columbia hospital for some time
and this Improvement We hope is the
beginning of her early and coa:2iet2
