There was a small skrimmage in
town on Thursday morning last, but as
the affair WAS not creditable to the bel
ligerents, and both are sorry for taking
the bark off each others faces this cold
weather, we will say no more about it.
We do not have ncar Us many fights

Newberry needs a fire engine, and
the only barrier in the way is, that no
one will start round with subscription
list. A sufficient amount could be rails

quents who give 4 wide berth to the
HERALD office, we would start out with
subscription list ourself.
Fried chicken at our house for 4 few
days-wcre brought in for back dues.
Come in friends, we will be glad to see

in his purse brought the next best
thing-chickens.
During the better part Of last week
cotton ruled at II - cents. Seldom is
it the case that the price remains at the

men, and it is well.

more, either for subscriptions, adver-
tising, or job work. Our terms are
cash.
