1t is Not Generally Known

That the shortest possible route between
the South and Great West is through St.
Louis, over the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gained
surprising importance by reason Of immense
expenditures in the last two years, of over
two million dollars, besides earnings, In i'm
proyements Of roadway, in relaying their
line with best quality of new steel and iron
rails, on, broad new ties, and substituting
for ordinary cars, new reclining chair coach
es, elegantly carpeted and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet eonveniences for Ia
dies, gentlemen and families travelling with
children, without any extra charge. This
line runs six fast Express trains between the
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, two more
than any other road, and connects with all
the great Land Grant Roads in the West.
and has adopted all modern appliances for
comfort, speed and safeguards against aeci-
dents including night and day watchmen, who
inspect the road before and after the passage
of each train to see that everything is in or
der. We recommend those contemplating q
trip West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern Short Line, it being the only
line running through cars between St; Louis
and Omaha, and for tickets over this excel
lent line we refer our readers to any ticket
agent selling through tickets to the West. For
map, circulars and Time. tables address

will furnish any information desired. 4-tf

SErTLED.-We learn that the dis
puted point in regard to the location OF
one of the mud-holes between Scots
creek and the steam mill has been set
tied. The incorporate line has been
surveyed by Mr.. Fred Werber, with
Mr.. J. G. Leahy on the part Of County
Commissioners, and Mr.. E.: S. Goppeck
for Council, acting as referees, and the
decision is that the line runs through
the hole, and it unfortunately is sort OF
partnership concern. 1t is a pleasure
to know, however, that the Council
have fixed up their portion and a little
more in a satisfactory style, but the
Commissioners, alas on their part, have
not. From the point where the Council
left off nearly up to the steam mill the
road needs considerable work, and 1t is
earnestly hoped that the very many bad
places may be repaired ere they become
too bad to work. a stitch in time saves
nine, remember.

of the State have during the year been
visited By cyclones, hail storms, and
floods d Tain, and so much damage has
been done that apprehensions have been
generally felt whenever cloud arose,
in the fear OF visitation of a like dread
full character. ID, These fears have for
some time been subsiding, and a sudden
cloud or heavy peal Of thunder does not
strike so much terror to the heart now
as formerly. In the midst of fancied
security, however, the citizens Of Colum-
bia have been startled by THUNDER
BOLT! We are pleased to say that on
investigation it proved to emanate from
Perry & SIawson's Segar Store, and as
nobody was hurt the rejoicing became
general. These gentlemen, it appears,
manufacture and sell thunderbolts and
warrant them as harmless as doves,
and that match may even be applied
to one end while the other can be placed
in the mouth Of the most timid man,
without fear of consequences. Like

ages. or the publisher may continue to seno

whole amount, whether it is taken from the

.sSay what you will, it is human ma
ture to favor those that favor you, and
do it honestly. A liberal advertiser, in
a reputable business, is always good
fellow, for mean men never advertise.
When you hear a man express contempt
for the newspapers, set him down as a
fool. If you want to test him, and prove
that he lies, puff him, and see how
pleased he will be, and how he will pat
you on the ack."-Erchange.

RAMON Sunday morning just be-
fore day the sound of thunder, each mo-
ment approaching nearer, gave hope OF
long needed rain, nor was it long ere
the pattering of the advance big drops
was heard, and next followed the shower
which brought gladness to the hearts OF
all who experienced the blessing. 1t
was splendid rain, such as we have
not had in six weeks, but in consequence
of the extreme drouth and the impact
condition of the soil it would take two
such rains to make real good "season. u
We were in hope, Judging by the gen
eral heaviness Of the clouds that it was
a wide extended rain, but we learn
since that it was light in other sections.
Subsequently, showers have fallen else
where and farmers and gardeners are
in hope that all is not lost. We trust
the hope will be realized.
Too MUCH FOR HM.-A little dar-
key attempting to make of with a
match box filed with shot abstracted
from the store of Mr.. Harmon, on Wed
nesday last, was caught in the act and
threatened with place in the guard
house, The little wretch, having only
an obscure idea as to the extent Of such
punishment, merely showed the whites
of his eyes-like an uncle of his he
wouldn't ssscare worth a cent" Just
then the HERALD local seeing the
crowd, and smelling an item, stepped
in. A bright idea struck him-catch-
ing hold of the hardened, desperate sin
ner by the arm, said he, "I'll put you
in the paper" 1t was enough! The iron
entered the boys soul, and while tears
as big as apples rolled from eyes the size
of saucers-more or less-he screamed
like Comanche. Our local was salts
fed, the HERALD is mighty power,
and waves over the land of the free
and the home of the brave, a terror to
evil doers. Fearing lest the boy would
die under the effect of so terrible 8
threat he was turned loose. It is need.
less to say that he fed with heetness
peyey before e2eeled.

To Rent or Lease.

The undersigned will rent or lease his

that no corn has ever been bought to run
this farm.

A GROSS LBERTy.-We learn that
the buildings on the plantation of our
worthy townsman, Mr.. Reuben Chick,
near Goshen Hill, have been without
warrant or authority converted one into
a negro school, and another used for
the double purpose of dance hall and
laboratory. The dancing hall, it is
said, is under white direction. Nothing
is known about the character Of the
laboratory or the color of its manage
ment, and it may be, for aught we
know, Il bar-room. OF course Mr.. G. is
indignant and will have the premises
vacated.

It makes no difference whether times
are dull or flush, money plenty or other
wise, for china, crockery, glassware and
other household goods viii get broken
or wear out. There is no getting over
or around this, and the consequence is
that new supplies are needed. If is
important then to know where to get
what you want, and at the cheapest
price. Messrs. Kingsland & Heath, OF
Columbia, whose large establishment is
located under the Columbia Hotel, can
give you all the satisfaction required.

do not already deal with them, would do
we'll to cultivate their acquaintance. In the

words. They need no recommendation from
Us, bat ike all sensible business men, they
believe in the power of Printers Ink, and
hence their card. Charleston has quite

FARMERS. advise our farmer
friends to be up and doing, don't let the
weather deter you from active efforts.
Now is the time to prepare for fall and
winter in sowing largely Of trunips-
the ruta bagas now, and white varieties
later-beets and carrots, all of which
can be raised in abundance. This is
the month also for the Black Spanish
Radish, one of the best varieties known,
and which will stand the winter through.
Above all things plant for a late crop
of Irish Potatoes-the finest and largest
potatoes we eyer raised were Of the
second crop, and were only taken from
the ground when wanted for daily use:
When frost sets Uncover plentifally with

each and all absent from town we have
failed to perfect any arrangement up to

announce that the lady will be here on

tanned, the lecture will be delivered.

teen students in attendance during the
past scholastic year, seventy-nine Of
whom were in the college department.
The corps of teachers are able, and the.
course of study complete. The Cata-

A DOLLAR SAvED.-The latest and
newest thing is the Partly Made Shirt,
which Messrs. Wright & Coppock are
making specially Of: It is the very
thing, as one dollar is saved to the
buyer in the purchase of a single one.
The shirt is accurately cut in approved
style and partly put together, in fact,
but little is left undone, yet it sells con-
siderably under the price of finished
garment; it is warranted, too, to fit ac-
cording to number. Go and examine it.
