After enjoying dry season which
lasted for several weeks, Newberry has
gone wet-it happened on Friday last.
Several tracts of valuable land are
advertised for sale, by the Master, on
next Saleday.
And little people now ask their pa
rents how long it is to christmas, and
what are you going to give us.
DR.. C. S. Johnson, Key West, Fla,
says Parties who use Browns Iron
Bitters tell me it is the best of medi-
cines."
ANY druggist will tell what he knows
about the merit of Shriner's Indian
Vermifuge, the popular remedy. For
sale by DR.. S. F. FAINT.
Sunday was ripe with surmises as to
what changes, if any, would be made
in regard to the Station or Circuit.
We will know ere the HERALD goes to
press.
The Helena Sunday School is COM
! posed Of warm hearted children and
| teachers. 1t has sent $3.50 to the
Thornwell Orphanage. This is deed
worthy of imitation.
Mr.. G.. Winburn had the satisfac-
ton of trying his camera on the phiz
of the senior Editor of the HERALD,
| and succeeded in getting a splendid
| picture. We are much pleased withit.
Christmas is all but here, and we can
with but slight stretch of imagination
Smell it, that is the fat turkeys, the
| mince meat, the plum pudding, and
goodness gracious knows how many
other nice things.
Judge Campbell and his friend
Thompson Connor iourneyed from
Jalapa to Charleston and back last
week. They stood the trip remarka-
bly, well. and did not get before His
Honor the Mayor one time.
DR.. Clark, DIR. Folk and w. G..
Sigh, have received between them 100
German Carp, which they have placed
in pond. They intend raising
,, Dutch herrings. Jalapa is certainly
looking up.
Post-masters are required to ex-
change old three and six cents stamps
for the new denomination OF two cent
stamps. But in no case to give cash
for the same. We imagine that but
few stamps of this order are on hand.
See notice elsewhere in regard to
the issue of the HERALD next week.
1t gives the printers holiday, and will
be published on Tuesday morning.
christmas day. Advertisers are request
ed to give us their favors on Monday.
A paper christmas morning will afford
splendid opportunity for advertisers.
Mr.. NJ. Foot went down to Charles
ton Monday to attend the Masonic
meeting, of which honorable body he
is an acceptable and worthy member.
He was a witness on his return Of a
case of swindling at Columbia. A
darkey beat a hackman out Of his fare.
When asked for it, he played deaf and
dumb. AS soon as the train lett he
recovered his speech.
A locomotive was stolen from Hen
dersonville on Tuesday night the 4th,
and was run to Tryon, and reversing
it the thief started back for Hender-
sonville, but the water becoming eX-
haasted, it took fire and the wood work
was consumed. What the object and
who the man, is not known {; but if Col.
Anderson can catch him he will find
out all about it.
1t is reported that the farmers OF
Newberry have more meat Of their
own raising now than at any time for
many years past. There is no know
ing therefore how much Of the 'feecy'
the having plenty of meat, will re-
suit, and the quantity Of money next
fall will not be any greater chan before,
because you know cotton is principally
raised as a proud crop.
Not one person in twenty We venture
to say has made his christmas pur-
chases yet, but waits until the last day,
when all is confusion, hurry and
drive. Four days only remain until
the eventful time. Be up and buying;
make the little ones happy avery
little will do it, and the result will be
happiness in unhounded measure for
yourself.
The entertainment tonight, at the
Opera House, for the benefit of the
Female Academy is given by the young
ladies, and will be of pleasing char
acter. We simply remind the young
men and We older people of the occa-
sion, for we know that they will honor
the young ladies by their presence, if
they but think OF it. Do not forget
it-at the Opera House tonight.
DR.. VIM. Folk is much OF shootist,
either with the double barrel shot gun,
or the rife; whether at Partridges or,
Turkeys, he never misses bringing
them home. A few days ago there
was . Turkey Shooting Match. and he
had the exceeding good luck of Win
ming no less than six gobblers. His
christmas turkey cost him but the
powder and shot in the shooting.
While on the Turkey question we
give story relating to one OF the
same Doctors turkey hunts. He and
two others went after wild gobbler,
and the bird failing to answer or come
to the '.clll," they sent home for a
hen turkey and tied it near the range.
While waiting in ditch, the Doctor
whose eyes are as quick on trigger as
his gun. observed darkey with gun
levelled on his hen. Proceedings were
stayed-no hen was shot. nor wild
gobbler either.
DR.. E. C. Jones is now enabled to
seat tooth-aching patient so comfort
ably and luxuriously in his new hair,
that the pain OF extraction will be
very much lessened. Think OF sitting
in chair which cost sl75, at the fac
tory, and freight added to that. We
are sorry that our molars are OF the
respectable and quiet sort and ache
not, steady chewing of Newberry
haaf will take the cOnceit out Of q
