The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1875-11-17
ABOUT THE Town AND COUNTY
The weather is balmy as Spring.

The weather is balmy as Spring.
Although much rain fell last week
the streets were not as muddy as was
expected.
The steady and long continued
"whoa," shouted in front of this office
the other day, quite demoralized the
printers.
The remarks made in reference to
wagons stopping on the crossings have
been highly approved. We are glad Of
it. and look for the nuisance to be
abated.
Let the dead bury their dead is lit
orally carried out in Newberry. Very
few persons ever have time to follow a
corpse to the grave. Is it right?
The area sown in oats this season is
gratifyingly large-our farmers being
determined to stop some Of the many
leaks which have been wasting their
substance. If they lessen the quantity
of cotton next spring, and build their
hopes on something else, they will be
wise.
| Don't forget what is due the HERALD
| when you come to town. Money is
much needed,
There are few individuals indebted
to this paper for subscriptions and adj
| vertising who very seldom come to
town-at least we don't see them-and
they are asked to send their dues.
A handsome lot of Photograph Al
| buns received at the HERALD Book
Store, ranging in price from 81 to S..
Come and get one.
The invitation to 'scome up and see
| how fat my hogs are" may mean much,
| and again may mean nothing. Won
der if it was intended that the visit be
! made about killing time. Speak out,
friend. And don't do
! Like the friend with his syrup who
invited US to look and smell-nothing
more.
What has become of the Newberry
Cornet Band? Have the members each
| silently gone where the woodbine
twineth? Where are they?
If anything appears in this paper
which pinches corn on somebody's
foot, how soon it is heard from; but on
the other hand, if a favor is done, two
chances to one, it is never heard from.
Oh, no, we never mention it.
If anything happens in your neigh
| borhood, reader, the publication OF
| which might interest the general reader,
| bring it along instanter. Men come to
town sometimes with head full OF
news and 60 back without telling the
HERALD anything. Hide not your light.
North Carolina apple wagons are
quite numerous on our streets. If the
| proprietors would come down and sell
at 81 per bushel, they would confer a
great benefit.
It is said that cotton stealing IN
I4aurens Comfy is carried on to an
alarming extent. Trust it is not so in
Newberry.
| We hope that the town marshals will
be active in their efforts to drain the
streets, so as to prevent mud as far as
possible.
New brooms it is said sweep clean,
but we have no fears about Council and
marshals during their duty, although
they are not new; like wine, they will
be better for age.
The young mems prayer meeting is
continued regularly. Time Of meeting
Thursday evenings; place alternating.
| Look out for Christmas, little folks,
and save your pennies for the good
things which will be in store.
J W. II. Dickert, together with bis
right hand bower, Mr.. Alexander, lay
awake O nights thinking about what
they will have on hand for the holidays.
Heads of families who love their
wives and children will prepare to buy
a hog or two from Latham, and make
sausage for the dear ones.
| Beef in Newberry sells at from 10 to
12, in Abbeville the finest cuts at 8
cents.
Is Newberry to have new platform
at the Depot or not-question.
The fiddle and flute has subsidized
everything has its season.
The Epizootic is disappearing-the
attacks were generally Of mild char
acter. A mess of onions placed in q
horses feed trough will prove sove-
reign remedy.
Mr.. L. R. Marshall is spreading him
self around promiscuously. His trips
to the city Of Laurens with fresh fish
are largely appreciated. He is not
neglecting the Newberry market either
and we advise every reader Of the
HERALD to buy a string from him at
least once week.
Should you happen to catch yourself
whistling in printing Office, and the
printers tell you to whistle louder-don't
you do it.
Drummers were as thick last week as
blackberries in their season. We did not
