and his debts, fell in love with her
! fortune. She reciprocated the passion,
for old maids are very apt to fall in love
with debts when they are accompanied
by these other accomplishments. The
old baron could not see it in that light,
and was inexorable. In her extremity
she applied to her niece for advice, but
cautioned her to be careful in trans
hitting the intelligence, as she was
closely watched. A circus coming
along, the shrewd young vixen bought
an ANTELOPE and sent it to her rela-
tive. She relished the advice, but could
not act upon it, as the old baron was
too watchful. One morning when she
was in despair a market woman came
along with melons and things, and she
bought a cant-elope anu sent it to her
niece. By looking over the family re-
cords we discover that four weeks after
wards she was married to the young
cavalier. Oh! the women! Last fall
we saw at Robinson's circus the great
great-grandson of the same antelope,
and yesterday morning we pulled the
descendant of the above mentioned
cantelope; she was not quite ripe, but
we were afraid she would elope with a
darkey, on whom she had an eye for
some time, and we were afraid the pas
sion was reciprocated.
We hope that Mr.. j. NJ. Perry, an
expert in penmanship and pen-drawing,
and the instructor of our young friend
of the antelope, may he induced to re-
main here to teach another class and
procure some equally apt pupils.
It makes no difference whether times
are dull Or flush, money plenty or other
wise, for china, crockery, glassware and
other household goods will get broken
or wear out. There is no getting over
or around this, and the consequence is
that new. supplies are needed. 1t 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.

ABOUT THE Town AND COUNTY
Rains have been pretty general during
the last week, and crops are looking
more promising.
What has become of Jalap?
Four healthy ears of corn on one
stalk at Wright & Coppock's.
The goat which gives five quarts Of
milk day is not owned at Newberry.
The new Laurens mail rider is not a
musician. The horn had a brief but
glorious career.
An ugly rumor reaches us that the
Laurens R. R., will stop at Martins.
We cannot believe it.
1t is an easy task to fill up newspa-
per; the only difficulty is to know what
to leave out.
People are preparing for winter in
time. We saw a load of coal in town
to-day. Destination unkno IN.
s'My Philis Ann is gone to rest,
She laid her head on Abrams brest.
hope she'll lay right whar she am,
Although it's hard on Abraham"
The above may have been suggested
by Byron's celebrated lines on the death
of a washerwoman.
Old Polly Ann has gone to rest,
She's got the washing of the blest;
She always was opposed to dirt,
And now she does up Abrams shirt.
"August" will have two moons.
Progressiue Age.
"Charley" will have but one; but
his is honey moon.
Peaches are getting to be plentiful,
they are right under our window in a
wagon. The proprietor does not seem
to know the locality of the HERALD Of
fee or how could he resist.
The town is quiet; the lawyers are
all gone. This was intended for two
items but the printer to save space put
them into one; we won't be held re-
sponsible for a libel suit.)
A. D. Lovelace received last week,
another load Of those fine Augusta mel
ons. We noticed a so FOUNDER among
them. Our friend Of the clothing estab-
lishment bought it for the lining of the
inner coat of his stomach.
A so pound watermelon and a "a
pound baby are the latest productions
of Georgia. For weight we cannot
beat that in town or County; for sweet
| ness, however, we challenge the world.
We were thinking only Of the water
| melons, but rather than get into a fuss
we might as we'll take the babies in.
