[1st image]

Pink Smith, colored, blew in on
Monday night, by way of No. 14 on the
C. N. & L., carrying a good sized jag,
besides two quarts of Columbia's "lo-
cal option chemically pure" booze in
his pockets. When the train got to
the station he was pretty boisterous,
protesting against being put off "tell
de train gets to Newberry;" and even
after the train went on he kept up his
howling about wanting to go on to
Newberry. The cops took him in to
keep him quiet, and the next morning
he contributed $5 to the city treasury.
Pink left Newberry a number of
years ago to go with some railroad
contractors to Tennessee or some-
where else, leaving here a wife and
two small children. Afetr leaving the
earth seemed to have swallowed him
up for nothing more was heard of him
for several years, and then news-
paper article gave a report of his
death. After that his wife married
again, supposing in good faith that
she was a widow. She lives out in

Floyd township on Mr. Clary John-
son's place. Her children are now 12
and 10 respectively, the older being a
girl.
Pink has raised consternation in the
breast of his former wife by threat-
ening to take the children from her,
and there is trouble in the camp, and
a general feeling of regret that the
newspaper reports of his death were
not true.---Newberry Observer.
