Dinner at Jalapa.

Dinner at Jalapa. ...
. At sharp 9, morning, the fast freight
of the Laurens line leaves the Newber-
ry Depot. that is, this is its schedule
time, and except the days it misses, It
gets of sll right. Having turkey
dinner to dispose of at the hospitable
mansion of DR.. r. P. Clark, situated in
the suburbs of the old and fourishing
city of Jalapa, seven miles distant from
the metropolis of Newberry, and de-
tered by the mud OF the old dirt road
from making the trip that way, we
swallowed breakfast last Thursday
without chewing, so as to be in time.
We were in time. and found the train
out of time, and waited half an hour or
more, and being the only. passengers
our fapily-our breaths were not sufl-
cisnt to warm the coach in the absence
Of fire. The train hand toe had mis-
placed the broom and duster, and con-
sequently there was vast amount OF
dirt, but we possessed our souls patient
" and thought Of warm reception at
Tie end of the journey. Reaching ia
lapa at length, we were met by Misses
Alma and Lila, at the stile, and slnil-
ingly escorted to the house. It was a
pleasant welcome, and the Doctor to
prevent any serious consequence which
might result from the cold ride gave US
each dose of his celebrated Carmina-
tive. It was good, better than it never
was before. Soon followed dinner,
which was not all of turkey, but a big
affair of solids and dainties, which was
done justice to By large party. We
would like to draw picture Of that
dinner, but the HERALD is as full as we
were on that happy occasion, and we
must close by saying that DIR. Bachman
Folk, of Miss, a son of Mr.. Wesley
Folk, of Pomaria, and DR.. VIM. Folk,
of Jalspa, lent their presence to the
scene, and that all too soon, about 2.3O,
we had to steam back home, but in q
most comfortable frame of mind and
body, the Carminative no doubt having
the wonderful happy effect designed by
our good friend the Doctor. 1t is our
intention to repeat the visit when the
roads dry ap.

Mr.. Julius Banks, a former resident
of our county but now Of NewberrY.
called on as on Tuesday. He says Ia
Dor. is plentiful in Newberry, which
seems little strange when we consider
the efforts that are being made in some
quarters to create the Impression that
tho passage of the Stock law was the
cause of the exodus from our county.
As showing how the Stock law is re-
garded after trial, he related case
of a gentleman whom he spent night
with not long ago. Said the gentle
man to him: I was not given 10 pro-
family but when I heard the Stock law
had passed for Newberry just pulled
off my coat and for two hours the air
was blue with sulphuric expressions.
And now,' he added. If the law should
be repealed I should repeat the exhi-
bition.'
May it not be possible that some OF
our people will experience a similar
change in regard to the law, after q
fair trial of its workings? Such changes
were numerous in other counties and it
is not unlikely that the same will be
the case in Edge6eld.

. 1t is an accepted aphorism that the
truth sometimes hurts. The destruc-
ton of Seven Hundred and Eighteen
papers Of garden seeds, all of last

gladdens some, it has maddened others.
