very cheap for cash.
North Carolina has been we'll repre-
sented here of late in apples and cab
bages.
There was marriage in and about
town nearly every night the past week.
1t is astonishing how fond some men
are of practicing heterophemy.
Everybody is looking for another lot
of Latham's hogs. He should come to
time by all means.
Farmers are urged to bring in sweet
potatoes, several families, and all with
numerous children, are in need.
Farmers report cotton pretty well
gathered and nearly all sold. This
must be a mistake though for several OF
our past due subscribers are out in the
cold yet. AS they generally report
when they sell we cannot yet believe
that they have gone back on us.
It is unbecoming to ask the editor fol
news. Subscribe for the paper and get
it in the proper way.
Our country roads will soon be in a
fearful condition again, and all for want
of good working. Who's to blame?.
The Glue man sticks to NewberrY

a good citizen.
Jalapa reports everybody well, and
business tolerably brisk.
The Laurens Rail Road has got away
from Newberry. It is now only about
four miles from Laurens Court House,
and the citizens there are straining their
ears to hear the whistle sound.
When you hear man say that the
world owes him living, don't leave
any movable articles, particularly bank
bills, lying round loose.
The admirable and appropriate sign
in front of Dickert's Confectionery and
Restaurant, was designed and executed
by John Quincy Adams Harris, and is
marvel of genius. 1t is said that he
ate At plates ofoysters, and then dream
ed dream in which the fat man ap-
peared. Dickert ought to supply him
with oysters the balance Of his natural
life.
Drove hogs sell at Abbeville and Due
