Reliable Testimony.

It cannot be reasonably supposed that when
q person testi6es to the efficacy Of a remedy
whose benefits he has experienced, without
solicitation, that he does so for the purposeof
misleading the public, Or from any other mo-
tive than that Of gratitude. 1t is still more
unreasonable to suppose that eminent physi-
clans would corroborate the evidence thus
given unless they were persuaded ofits trut tn.
The proprietorS Of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters are constantly in the receipt Of voluntary
Testimonials acknowledging the curative and
preventive potency Of This beneicont tonic
and corrective, ,cmanating not only from those
who have felt its influence, but also from well
known members Of the medical profession,
both here and abroad, who have witnessed
its effects, and prescribed it in their private
practice. In the face Of such evidence as this,
to which the widest publicity has repeatedly
been given, it would bc absurd to question
the meGiciu al virtues Of The Bitters. Skepti-
cism upon this point was long ago disarmed,
and they are to-day as much respected and
far more widely known than many of the
oficina! remedies which figure conspicuously
in the pharmacopeia. They are universally
recognized to be the supreme remedy for Ia.
,errniitent and relnittent fcvers, dyspepsia,
liver complaints, general debility, disorders
of the bowels and nervousness, rs we'll as g
means Of terrifying the system against mala-
rious influences, and those which operate in-
juriously upon the sensitive organs. Whether
used as remedy for actual disease, as a
means Of building up the broken down
physique, or of fastening couvalescence, they
are never resorted TO in vain, and they often
restore complete health when prescribed
remedies cannot even initiate its recovery.

THE YoUNG LADIES ENTERTAIN
MESr.-We dislike very much to ac-
knowledge it, but we were completely
outdone by the young ladies on We'd
nesday night last. At nightfall the
rain came down 80 lively that it never
entered our imagination that they
would venture out, but rather that the
entertainment wc;,ld be POSTPONED on
account of weather" SO throwing on
an extra piece of wood we sl.uggled
up to the fire, and felt easy and comforta-
bic, and never knew any better until
the last pleasing act of the programme
was ended, and the splashing Of pedes-
trians in the outside mud was heard as
they returned to their homes. What Q
mad time we had then. We are proud
of Capt. Pliers energetic and accom-
plished band of naidenS, and pleased,
too, to hear that they drew a good
house. and that the expression is uni
versal that they acquitted themselves in
all the various parts Of Plays and Tab
leaux in the handsomest manner. We
knew this though, without being told,
and this makes the regret the more
painful that we lost an evenings enter
tainment of such u delightful character.
But never mind, we feel certain that
they will repeat it, and that with as
little delay as possible.

II is Not Generally known

That the shortest possible route between
the South and Great West is through ST..
Louis, over the St. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gained
surprising importance by reason Of immense
expenditures in the last two years, of over
two million dollars, besides earnings, in i'm
provemeuts of roadway, IN relaying their
line with best quality Of new steel and iron
rails, on broad new ties, and substituting
for ordinary cars, new reclining chair coach
es, elegantly ca1peted and fitted, with dress.
ing rooms with toilet conveniences for Ia.
dies, gentlemen and families travelling with
children, without any extra charge. This
line runs six fast Express trains between tie
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, TWO more
than any other road, and connects with all
the great Land Grant Roads in the West,
and has adopted all modern appliances for
comfort, speed and safeguards against acci-
dents including night and day watchmen, who
inspect the road before and after the passage
of each train to see that everything is in or
der. We recommend those contemplating O
trip West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern Short Line, it being the only
line running through cars between St. Louis
and Omaha, and for tickets over this excel
lent line we refer our readers to any ticket
agent selling through tickets TO the West: For

Two AND A HALF CENTs.-The In
dian Girl of Perry & Slawson still holds
undisputea sway over the hearts Of the
great smoking public; if anything the
admiration increases and will continue
to increase. for her announcements are
always Of such character as to give
salts faction. The confidence gained at
the beginning Of her career has never
been misplaced, for her watchword is
Excelsior. One Of the most successful
moves made was in offering an excel
lent cigar at two and a half cents by
the box, rs it enabled the inYeterates to
buy boxes instead of punches as before.
Messrs. Perry & Slawson, the proprie-
tors, have certainly taken that tide at
its food which carries men to fortune,
and they deserve the eminent success
attained. All orders sent them will be
promptly and satisfactorily filled, for
any brand or price of cigar. If.

CHAPMAN & CRAwFoRD.-The read
er will see that there are two capital
C's in this combination. It is a new
firm, and very firm one at that, and
they commence the year in way which
will not only give satisfaction to the
public, but will result in success to
themselves. All of their winter goods
are offered at a considerable discount
on regular prices, and bargain hunters
will find it to their advantage to call
on these gentlemen at once. We woald
add that their stock is large and varied,
so large that everybody and his wife
can find something to suit them. Panic
prices are always popular, and any one
with half an eye, without the aid of
glasses, can see that the two C's are on
the right track.
We are grstifed to learn that Mr.. A.
H. E. Sheck, very successful farmer
in this county, is highly pleased with
his immigrant laborers, and that they
are no less favorably impressed with
him. Mr.. Sheck's efforts in bringing
labor to this county, and not only that,
bat in so adapting himself to their
wants and peculiarities, is deserving
mention. His policy is not 3 narrow
minded one, which looks only to the
amount of work he can get out of them.
but in making them so contented as that
by their representations others may be
induced to come, and in the course of
time, as they become independent, the
| waste lands may be taken up and made
productive. This is the idea.
To NEW FIELDS OF LABoR.-The
Rev. Manning Brown and Rev. j. L.
Shuford, late of the station and circuit
of Newberry, left here on Wednesday
last for their new fields of labor, and
they carry with them the regrets not
! only of the charges which they respec-
lively ministered to, but of the entire
community, for their eminent Christian
example and social qualities endeared
them to the people, and the two years
spent in our midst have been not only
| profitable, but pleasant ones. 1t is sad
to realize that an intercourse so mu-
tually good must be broken, but the dis
cipline of the Methodist Church is in
flexible in this, snd these changes are
| made Notwithstanding the sundering of
ties of sympathy and affection. Butwe
have the assurance that they will be re-
ceived with open arms and warm hearts
by those to whom they are sent, and We
earnestly wish for each of them, and
their families, all the blessings which
they deserve. The Conference this
year made an almost entire change

apart, the drills or furrows being filed
with stable manure when this is allow

or above the manure, some preTerrirg

board kind, or a good old-fushloned
country half shovel-this is as good
a plough as any one may desire, but it
must have the proper twist, or 1t will
not do the work effectually. After
the covering the beds should be raked
over nicely and thoroughly. Late
frosts are liable to cut them down, but
the plant will soon shoot out again,
very often when nothing but the burnt
up leaves and bare ground are visible.
The young people Of the village
have been all agog by visit from
Signor Silvano, who heralded his
coming by flaming handbills, an,
nouncing himself as the "Autocrat Of
the Magic World" promising most
amazing feats Of legerdemain, ventril-
oquism, clairvoyance and magical en-
tertaiuments. His exhibitions, which
be gave US for three nights, afforded
very general satisfaction, and really
proved him an adepti in magical science,
and the presents distributed, in many
instances, were useful and valuable.
He is very candid in his admission,
that he is comparatively more liberal
in these distributions in small towns
and villages than in the large cities,
as means of advertising his perform
arces, which are certainly surprising,
and many very original.
The old Brick Parish Episcopal
Church, six miles from this village,
having undergone considerable repair,
was consecrated by the Bishop Of the
Diosese on the 9th inst. As it is an
historic building, the occasioa was one
of much interest in the Parish.

EDITOR HERALD: The truck far
mers have had a busy time, and are'y
effort has been strained to get in all the
Marrowfat peas they could. And now
comes the race, after the first week in
January, to avail themselves Of all the
good weather possible to get in the
Extra Early variety. Some Of them
have already planted ten or fifteen
acres of the FIRST named crop. One
farmer expects to plant forty acres in
peas. Those intending to put in Irish
potatoes will be busy after the New
Year. This is a heavy crop in its
preparation, and involves great ex-
penditure of time, labor and manure.
The experience Of most of those who
plant this crop is, that the chemical
and imported manures will not bring
good crops, and there is nothing equal
to stable manure and the compost heap
in obtaining good results from this gen
orally esteemed vegetable. In pre-
pairing the ground for this crop, the
soil must be thoroughly pulverized,
all joint and nut grass, where these
awfully pestiferous grasses occur, and
much of the land on the seaboard is
infested by them,) must be raked
away, not left in the field but thor
oughly destroyed-particularly the
''joint grass" which is so tenacious Of
vitality that some people go so far as
to assert, that if one end Of sprig is
barot: It will germiDsta At the Other.
