The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1874-11-18
ABOUT TIE Town AND COUNTY,

The weather continues, and whether
it remains good or changes for the
worse, it will still be weather. Later
ut this writing it is pretty cold. =. S.
considerably moderated, with signs of
. change.
We are rejoiccd to announce that one
of the individuals we have been looking
for came mp last week and remembered
the printer. The obituary notice written
for him will be used for the other fel-
low.
Several excuses have been made late
" bv subscribers that they are afraid of
the steps and platform leading to our
office, and but for the apprehended
danger they would have come in long
ago. Now, we would inform all the
timid ones that it is contemplated to
remove the HERALD Office in few
weeks to other quarters, and We trust
then to see them.
The display of silver ware at Capt.
Speck's is bcwillering, and especially
1T night, when all his lamps arc lighted
I'D. is the effect most charming. If
there is lady in town OF county who has
not Laid eyes" on his beautiful asSort-
ment, we advise that one to do SO i'm
mctliately if not sooner. for remember,
lady dear, Christmas is coming.
We have not noticed Mr.. Wiseman's
gallery lately, and hasten now to do so,
by saying that there is exhibited therein
some beautiful specimens Of his work,
and that now while the fine days last it
is well to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunities afforded by Mr.. WiSeman's skill
in securing the perfect shadow of the
living substance.
The negro, Jones, arrested by MI.
Cook last week, after being bailed, was
given up by his surety who did not like
the aspect. Jones soon found another
friend, though. This friend promises
to stick.
We were told day OF two ago that
there are some very contrary people
among those who make up church
memberships. No one will dispute the
fact.
Be sure You arc right, then 90 ahead
to the opening no&t the corner Of street.
Take stairs, walk up, enter first or sec
ond door on left. Terms, S2 80 for one
year, or 81 for six months.
If any one wants the HERALD free,
let him make upa club Of ftwcnty names
at 81 each.
A few bushels of corn are so badly
needed at this Office that they will be
paid for either in love, subscriptions to
the HERALD, OF in money.
Some malicious fellow wants to know
if "Chinquepin's" horse shared in that
| mess Of backbones mentioned last week.
Such question is enough to make a
horse laugh. The idea Of 4 horse cat
ing bones is ridiculous.
If the commissioners Of roads, over
sccrs and all others interested, have not
taken advantage Of the long spell of
beautiful weather, by filing every place
that might or would become 4 tap du-
ring the winter rains, they should be
made to take up their abode with the
| lion and the whangdoodle.
IN time of peace prepare for w;1r, iii
other words. get Your sausage grinders
ready for use.
This reminds lis that - cents per
pound is asked in our market fOr pork.
How is that for high?
When people have to work on the
principle Of root pig CT die" it's hard
to pay so high for their pork. 1t re-
verses the saying Of 'too much pork
for shilling' into too much shilling
for pork.
The removal of the bed Of rocks
which so long obstructed the road in
| front of Mr.. j. y. Martins handsome
residence, is decided Improvement.
Another improvement 4 little farther
! up the h.ii is an elegant two-sto1v house
rapidly getting on TO completion.
The Newberrv eatist was in town the
other day. He looked as if a good
square meal would help him.
