SAIE-DAY.=Our streets were unu:

/ SALE-DAY.-Our streets were unu
sually animated on Sale-day, and ano
thcr season Of mud packing has takel
place. We never knew until recent,
the great benefit resulting from No. l:
Brogans, they do good work. Notwith
standing the number and variety o
people in town great good humor pre-
vailed, everything passed off as merr,
as marriage bell, the slight shower o
rain which fell early in the fight, or n
ther early in the morning, only tendin!
to make the fun livelier. 1t was 81
elegant Sale-day outside, inside was no
so good, that is in the HERALD office
Several gentlemen most anxiously look
ed for failed to put in an appearance.
The land sales BY the Sheriff were
535 acres, at S2,02j, and 252, ut $3.50
there were also sold under execution
four mules, which brought respectively
! 800, s93, S107 and s117, together witt
lot Of Jewclry, consisting Of watches
rings and trinkets Of various kinds
The watches ranged from $3.50 up
wards, one bringing S75. This Jewel
ry had been deposited by q Jewish ira
der with Mr.. Madison Workman, ir
1869, as security for 1900 borrowed
and the sale Of which how only realized
$500.
JALAPA ITEMS.-An esteemed friend
and well-wisher Of the HERALD has
picked up the following Jalapa items
and sends to us with promise to con-
tinue picking and sending:
Dr.. w. A. Williams and family have
removed to WalIlalla. Our best wishes
follow them.
There are two stores in the town, the
one kept by W. II. Eddy, and the other
by Clark & Folk at the old Jalapa House,
The latter gentlemen deal largely in
drugs and medicines.
J. B. Campbell, Esq, is having a
large store built, and Capt. d. Lafayette
has the contract. The Captain is 4
carpenter of considerable note.
Col. G. S. Cannon lately sold four
and eight-tcnths acres of land for $3.50.
There were no improvements on the
land.
Dwellings are in great demand. We
regret this, as Newberry has none to
spare to her sister Jalapa.
The people are anxious to know how
fur the rail is laid on the Laurens K. K.
track. Col. Peake will confer 4 favor
by reporting.
1t. E. ?. Chalmers has quite -four
ishing school.
Jalapa has not been exempt from
rain, and mud is the order there rs well
as elsewhere. Consequently farmers
are not doing much.
The Rev. Mr.. PRoBsT and our Ger
man settlers are improving the oppor-
tunities in way which will rebound to
their own good rs we'll rs to the good
Of the people generally. We learn
from Mr.. Sheck-whose efforts to cult
vate 4 mutual good feeling between our
people and the immigrants deserves
much commendation-that Mr.. Probst
preached in German on last Sabbath
in Mt. Bethel Church, and that he viii
again preach in the same church on the
3rd Sabbath in March, on which occa-
sion he will organize a German Luth-
eran congregation. On the Saturday
preceding a meeting will be held in the
church preliminary to the organization,
to both Of which the public are invited.
1t is to be regretted thatan erroneous
impression prevails in Germany among
the class desirous Of emigrating, that
South America is the point to which
these people are invited, and kr wing
somewhat of the Objectionable character
of that country, there is in indisposition
to try the chances. This report, no
doubt, is circulated by those who desire
to iniurc our interests, and the only way
| we see how it can be contradictcd and
overcome, is to give those already here
such encouragement and treatment as
that they may be induced to frequently
write home and show their friends how
great their error.
The Rev. Mr.. Probst and Mr.. Sheck
arc entitled to the highest consideration,
for each in his way is doing Il good
work.
CHURCH CONFERENCE.--The first
Quarterly Conference Of Ncwberry Cir
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES held at n W
Chapel Church, on Saturday and Sun,
day last, the Rev. Manning Brown, pre-.
siding. The pastor in charge, Rev. T.
G. Herbert, and his coadjutor, L. +,
Beatty, and the Rev, R. P. Franks, 81
the Station, were present. The meet,
ing on Saturday was we'll attended, and
on the Sabbath very largely, the churcl
being crowded to its utmost capacity
At halfpast nino o'clock on Sunday
there was held q Love Feast of an un'
usually serious character. The dis
course which followed, delivered by Mr
Franks, was earnestly impressive, anc
the Sacrament which concluded the ex
ercises was partaken of by 4 large num-
bcr. There were also some accession$
