If you owe US anything, reader, dc
not delay any longer the payment
Money is very much needed at this of;
fee.
Next Saturday will be Christmas.
Some few trees are spoken of.
Our devil suggests that the orphans
of the cottage on the corner of Caldwell
and Boundary streets attend in full force
the theatrical performance tonight;
they may sec themselves as others see
'em without extra charge.
Strange" says the Abbeville He
di1ea1a, chow many honest farmers, good
men and true,' come into town, sell
their cotton, put the money in their
pockets and never think to pay the
printer"
Not at all strange. 1t comes as easy
to some men as falling off a log.
Our Methodist ministers on station
and circuit, left on Tuesday last for
Conference. Orangeburg will suffer in
the poultry line.
That load of North Carolina chickens
disposed of here last Saturday, turned
ont badly. The poor birds were too
thin to kill without weeks feeding,
and half of them have since died.
A fair friend lately married has our
thanks for a couple of grey kittens.
She had no longer any use for such pets
and turned them over to US. They
were badly needed.
It is so easy to tell when Harmon
goes off. The HERALD office is sure to
be screnaded on such occasions.
The colored people of Helena are
taking up subscriptions for the building
of a new church. 1t strikes US there
are churches enough, more than the
generality of people have the generosity
to support. More religion and liberali-
ty are the needs now.
Tom Lane came to the rescue of the
sausage hunters last week with lot Of
fine porkers. Our thanks are rendered
for his courtesy in allowing US to see
and hear them squeal.
Men do not always mean what they
say nowadays. and when one is found
who does, our heart swells to him.
Thank you, Thomas, for adding to the
wood pile. Who comes next9
The handsomest quilt on exhibition
in this town can be seen at the store of
Messrs. Daniel Wheeler & Co. 1t is
offered for rattle by the lady who made
it-twenty-fve chances at 81 per chance.
Who will be the lucky winner?
A strolling orchestra enlivened our
town for awhile last week-the music
was pretty fair and attracted quite an
audience. Several dashing cavaliers
formed themselves into a cavalry bat
talon on the square, thus giving their
noble steeds an opportunity to enjoy
cheap music.
Dickert's Saloon and Confectionery,
both popular places of resort, are espe-
cially attractive just now. The proprie-
tor, Dickert, has been abroad gathering
in supplies, and his Lieutenant, Alex
ander, is in a glorifcation at the idea OF
being able to dispense a vast deal Of
happiness.
In notice of election last week, for
officers of Amity Lodge. Mr.. E.. H.
Christian was elected Junior Warden,
instead of Mr.. j. O. Peoples.
Wanted. by good church member,
a servant who is christian, and who
will not burn the meat.
A pair~Iof-eFe glasses~were lost on
Thursday; if the finder will leave them
at this office he will do a good thing.
If he will not let him be anathema.
The times are desperate-a a leading
firm sends Us word to tell those indebt-
ell to come in and settle OF 60 to the
d, they don't care which.
Another says we have sold on accom-
modating terms all the year, part cred
it and part cash, and balance; of stock
we are tempted to give away.
The ladies say that Harmon sells
some goods at remarkably low prices.
The HERALD Book Store is in full
blast. Christmas presents cheap for
cash.
