The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1875-09-15

And everybody sinful,
Except the HERALD local,
Who is all the while cheerful.
But we are rejoiced to be able to add
that fine rain has at length fallen,
and with it the temperature.
The fruit crop is over-what there
was of it-and beans are getting scarce.
Possuns are coming in-one receiv-
ed-just large enough to pay for a
months subscription. Let the next be
larger.
If any reader of the HERALD has po=
tatoes let him bring some in-the cry
for them is loud and long. Friends
Moon and Paysinger are requested not
to bring in the long variety.
The little darkey who mistook one of
the town lights for June bug can see
what the thing is now. The lamps
have been put in order by the city IA
theirs.
Lowering the street in front of. the
Hotel was a good thing-but raising
the Baltimore Corner is not. There
will be mud there this winter.
The members of the Hook and Lad
der are indefatigable in drilling, more
particularly since getting into their red
shirts.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. J. Singleton return
ed from North Carolina on Wednesday
last. They returned by way Of Colum-
bia:
Young Ben is now the happy possess
or of a milk white chicken rooster from
the old Bay State.
The right leg of Mr.. Peter Rodel-
sperger slipped through rotten place
on the depot platform on Wednesday.
1t might have resulted seriously. New
berry can't afford three broken legs.
Mr.. John o. Peoples is at length
able to use his leg-he can walk short
distances with the aid of crutches. Our
congratulations are offered.
Several marriages on the tapis in
this section to come off between now
and Christmas.
Yet there are numerous incorrigible
bachelors who refuse to accept any
overtures offered in mercy. Let them
alone.
1t is wondered sometimes where par
ties marrying have their invitations
printed. The HERALD Office is sup
piled with fine paper and envelopes for
such purposes.
1t is likewise supplied with bill, note
and letter head papers, which can be
printed cheaply, yet some of our mer-
chants send their work abroad. Is that
following the precept 'tdo unto others. :"
Verify, no:
Ifvou owe for the HERALD and have
no money bring in wood. Do not de-
lay to settle UP.
They were disappointed. Quite a
crowd of colored people went to Half
acres settlement expecting to find a
first class camp meeting. It was only
Quarterly Conference, and besides was
ended ere they arrived. Those who
hired vehicles think that their money
was badly invested,
Pelham's new drug establishment is
supplied with patent Stopple Botters,
together with many other articles. Pay
the store visit.
The Rev. J. A. Sligh, residing near
the town of Frog Level, is progressive
man. He has built him first rate fish
pond and has stocked it. We propose
paying him visit when the fish are
large enough.
There are cases Of whooping cough
reported about the city of Prosperity.
The chicken cholera is subsiding-
but little is heard of it now, and it is
hoped that the supply of that delicious
vegetable will soon be abundant.
This is the time for merchants to ad-
vertise their wares, and we wait with
the patience Of Job to hear from them.
Insurance agents are on the rampage,
and to the drummer there is no end.
MI. E. A. Scott has fitted up bis store
room handsomely, With regret it is
announced that his peach tree is now
bare.
An example to follow is shown by
Henry Kennedy, colored, who raised
81 IA bushels of wheat from l IA
acres, and now has on the same ground
corn and peas which he thinks will
weld him 40 bushels.
Two of the most prominent places
in the city of Newbelry are Capt.
Speck's Jewelry establishment and his
confectionery store. There is a world
of sweet happiness in one and solid
pleasure in the other Make an exami-
nation of goods and be convinced.
