The JAPs.-Temperance Hall was
not crowded on Tuesday night last, but
the turn out was good, considering the
weather, and there was not man, wo-
man or child who did not show ths
highest appreciation of the truly Won
derful performance. Owing to the want
of room on the stage and the low cell
ing, several of the best things on the
programme were omitted, to the regret
of all, What was performed, however,
was better than anything of its kind
ever witnessed in Newberry. The law
of gravitation was indeed set at defiance
by these sharp eyed, quick handed and
apparently boneless strangers.
LET TIE PEOPLE kNOW.-TheC Christ
mas holidays approach, and our mer-
chants being wide-awake men have no
doubt prepared extensively to supply
the thousand and one wants Of this
festive and generous occasion. AS it
only comes once year, money IS spent
freely, and it behooves our merchants
to let the people know what they have
on hand. To make both ends meet,
that is, to accommodate merchants and
public both, we throw open our columns
for any and all advertisements which
NAV be brought. Some have ahcady
come in, and we invite the reader to
look over the paper and see who has
good and seasonable articles.
CLARA WILDMAN CoMPANT.-This
favorite Comedy Company, largely in
creased since last winter, will make a
first appearance here this season on
Wednesday evening at Temperance
Hall, on which occasion will be pre-
sented Married and Divorced" with
the Musical Extravaganza, 'Our Prlma
Donna" Wefeel assured that Miss Clara,
Mr.. Wildman, and the Company gen
orally. will have no reason to complain
of their reception. The plays selected
for the opening night are good, and the
treat which is now offered after so long
an interregnum will be highly appre-
ciated. The management announces
stay of six nights and perhaps more,
Reserved seats to be had at Speck's.
EFFECTS OF EDUCATION.-One of the
bliellting effects of ''book larning" was
shown in our town on Friday. Fou,
negroes each sold cotton to Mr.. I. F.
Harmon, two of them were either not
tinctured with the prevailing epidemic,
rascality, or knew nothing about the
three Rs, especially the one relating tc
figures. The other two, however, were
more advanced, and on receiving their
cotton tickets with the weights, changed
the first fioure of their bales from tc
5, and presenting them, received pay
for 500 lbs. instead of 400. AS soon as
it was discovered, Harmon went for
them, and found one, who paid $50 tc
get out Of the scrape, and was "berry
tankful for dat" The other put out
but sent up his donation just as the sun
declined. and to the same amount. Both
realize now that honesty is the best
policy. We advise our cotton buyers
before paying hereafter to examine
| tickets closely.
