WHAT THEY CALL 1T.-At this fes-
tive season of the year it is appropriate
" called Christmas steam, and the
quantity of it on hand is enormous. A
man with full head of steam can be
easily distinguished from one who is
not charged.
The friends of Dr.. and Mrs. Homer
P. Tarrant, now of Augusta, Ga, will
learn with regret that they suffered by
fire on the 18th instant. Thanks to the
prompt aid of their friends and the time
IL action of the fremen their loss was
not very heavy.
A COPY Of the catalogue of the Kings
Mountain Military School is acknowl-
edged. The school is under tue sklllful

"WoRrHY OF ENAMPIE,-The town
council of Abbeville merit the undying
thanks of the taxpayers. They manage
to work the, streets of the town free of
expense, by rising the labor Of offenders
against the N: :rnicipal laws"
The Press alatl Banner is authority
for the above, and it has reason to boast.
Books AND CHEoMoS.-For holiday
presents, books and chromos are first IN
importance, as they are not only appro-
pirate, but instructive, and help to cul-
tivate 4 pure and wholesome taste:
Books and pictures are twin sisters, and
CRAFTY the eve, the fancy and poetic
sensibilitv, and are therefore always in
order, and especially so now. Make
your purchases at the HERALD Book
Store.
Somebody has kindled under old Bah
cock tremendous fire Of old unstamped
whiskev barrels, which was started in
St. Louis and is now blazing at Wash
ington. He is offering a liberal price
for all his unused 'Extinguishers.' Can
not our Hook & Ladder boys let him
have a few stray ones and throw in u
section of ladder and 3 bucket or two;
for the old fellow is really in a not
place.
