THE LAST OF VOLUME XIX.

THE LAST OF VOLUME XIX.
This issue closes volume tXIXth
of the Newberry HERALD, and the
next will bring it into another year.
For the favor bestowed upon it
during the year now. rapidly COM
ing to its close, the proprietor most
heartily extends his warmest
thanks. A year of unexampled
straits and difficulties have been
experienced by the people of this
county and Of the State, yet the
HERALD has met with generous
patronage, a patronage which has
ever been extended to it. Believe
US, reader, in our expressions Of ap-
probation. Every year since the
war has been thought harder
in financial view than those which
preceded it. This year to US has
seemed the hardest, but we have
stood the storm and safely entered
port. The next year we trust, al
though gloomy in the outlook, will
be better to all classes, and with a
bounteous harvest, the farmers
cribs and barns will be filled, the
merchant made glad with large
sales, all people be likewise ben
eftted, and the Editor find his pros.
peet little better. Let US hope
for the best, and never despond
while plank remains to stand
upon. We make no rash promises
as to what we will do next year..
but the reader can rest assured that
the HERALD will always put its
best foot foremost, and do the
very best it can. Reiterating onr
thanks we close the year 1883, and
prepare for the duties Of 1884.
