The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1875-02-24

Cool. picker up Of items says
that an ice cream and soda water
saloon, on scale never before attempt
ed in this section of country, is in con-
temptation by one of our energetic
business men, attached to which, or
rather the head and front of which will
be confectionery and fruit department
on the most approved style. Its rather
early in the season to build up hope on
such kinds Of refreshment as ice cream
or soda water. but the reader knows
that an editor is obliged to catch at any
straw in the shape Of an item which
comes in the way. Therefore, it is
hoped this piece. Of advance news will
be appreciated.
A NICE YoUNG LADY.-Miss Babe
McKellar never forgets the editor when
ever she has anything good. We were
made happy last week, as were all the
little ones at home, by the present Of Il
bundle of real sugar cane grown on
DR.. Chaney's plantation, near Ellarville,
Georgia, and a specimen Of sugar manu-
factured by that gentleman. MissBabe,
we are pleased to know, had pleasant
trip over the border with her estimable
mother, aud brought back with her
several souvenirs Of her visit, some of
which, in addition to those mentioned,
have found their way to our sanctum.
We assure Miss Babe that her remem-
brance of Us is highly appreciated. We
hope she will grow up and marry a
good looking editor one of these days.
A SAD BLUNDER.- were made
to marry a couple last week, who, for
aught we know, are not thinking Of
such thing. It was unfortunate, and
deeply regretted, but really we were
not wholly to blame, for the informa-
tion was given US by a friend as a piece
Of news, which, it was feared. had not
reached US, and for that reason would
not appear in the HERALD in time. We
will take care not to jump at every
piece Of news furnished us in the future.
The notice alluded to was the one men
toned as having taken place at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Thos. Y. Wicker. We trust
everybody concerned will pardon us for
the sad contretemps.
The name Of the parties really mar
ried on the occasion alluded to will be
found in the appropriate department.
GOOD.-A subscriber at a certain
post Office in this County proposes to
get up 4 subscription to furnish a num-
Der of copies Of the HERALD free to
those of the inhabitants in his section Of
country whc do not take the paper
through the legitimate channel, and
asks how much we will contribute to
that end. Knowing the annoyance that
he and many others experience so frc-
quently on being told by the postmaster
that there is no paper for them, we
promise to contribute two copies weekly
in furthersnce of 80 desirable an object,
provided a respectable club be raised.
He says that complaints is made by some
one of his friends every week. If the
men who take the papers complained
about are unable to pay and must have
the HERALD, it will be great charity
to furnish them with it free, gratis, for
nothing. A good deal Of bad feeling
will be saved by it.
A SUGGEsTloN.-In behalf Of the
travelling public we respectfully sug-
oest to Col. Do6amead that FIVE or ten
minutes more be added to the stopping
time at Aston, on the up passenger
trip, to enable hungry passengers to get
breakfast, will prove very satisfactory.
The present early fit from Columbia
prevents many from enjoying or even
having chance to take that essential
meal. But 4 few minutes, perhaps five,
are now allowed at that place going up,
and 1t Is amusing yet painful to see the
breakfast hunters returning disappoipt-
ed to the train. Mr.. Elkins and his
estimable mother. We are satisfied,
would spread themselves in their efforts
to prepare a hot and appctizing meal if
just q little time We're allowed in which
1t might be properly taken up. We
throw out the suggestion kindly to Col.
D.,and if he can entertain the idea and
adopt it, he will, if we mistake not,
oblige many hungry passengers, who
have their six o'clock coffee shaken out
