Drummers have been unusually nu-
merous this season. Those who deal
I in clothing say. we will have to pay
heavy for our winter clothes. This
! is bad news.
The Newberrians who want to 60 to
the mountains have hard time in get
ting g7there. They either have to 60 by
private conveyance to Strothers, sixteen
miles, or stay over night at Aston.
There were peaches on the market
Wednesday at 50 per bushel. Steep.
considering. An individual near sng-
gested that there ought to be special
frost to kill peaches at that price.
New subscribers still continue to
come iR-showing that the campaign is
interesting the people. Every man in
the County sheuld take the HERALD.
Take it for three months, if no longer.
FAINT & McWhirter are spreading like
Il green bay tree. The corner store
formerly occupied by DR.. Fant is being
overhauled for them: they will occupy
it and the store they are now in.
.Messrs. Wyse and ---- will have
big barbecue the 9th instant at Wyse's
Ferry on the, ,Saluda. Newberry aad |
Edgeficld will be out in full force, and |
the candidates from both Counties will !
be as thick as blackberries in June. /
The Juvenile Templars are growing
into a strong body. One little girl who |
joined last week was considerably ex-
ercised at the idea of having to ride
the goat. 1t wasn't near so bad as she
had been told.
Uncle B. says that all the candidates
who spoke at the Jalapa barbecue Wed
nesday, claimed that section as their
birth place, and that they had ploughed |
over every foot of land of it when boys
Where will they die when they go to.
Some one suggests that the candidates
buy the Hook and Ladder Truck from
the Town Council; put red circus I
body on it; hire brass band, and make
a tour of the County. They would draw
a crowd and make sensation, if they
wouldn't all be elected. |
Mr.. Vineyard, of Greenville, former
ly Of Newberry, fell on the sidewalk in
Greenville a few days ago and disloca-
ted his thigh. A small bone was bro
ken, and it will be some time before
the old gentleman recovers from his in
iuries.
Two of the handsonest parties at the
Mt. Zion picnic Thursday went from
town in top buggy behind a stylish,
housekeeping grey. Their good looks |
caused them to be taken for new candl- |
dates. Well. one of them is candi-
date canvassing for one vote; the other
has been elected.
Mr.. ". Fl. Foy has been bound over
to the United States Court on charge |
of violating the Revenue laws-selling
whiskey from his wagon at Gafney
City, Spartanburg County, without a
special license. He says the charge is
unfounded and that he expects little |
difficulty in proving his innocence.
So far the can!ass by the candidates
has been extremely pleasant and agree
able. They are all in good humor, and
everything is lovely. We hope this
state of affairs will continue up to cleo
ton day-but we seriously doubt it.
We think it quite likely that the con-
test will wax warm and as the final day |
approaches things will get lively.
In the glass ball shooting contest at
Hendersoaville. the 28th the Charlotte
team took the prize, making "a out of
a possible 80. The Enoree Club, of
this County, improperly reported in
the Neaos and Courier as the "Newber-
ry Club, made only Is. The Newber-
~ Club think they could have done bet
ter than THAI.
