Mills correspondent.

the attractiveness of Col. Aiken's au-

serve consideration, and, besides, very
little of general interest has occurred
in our State, for week or more.

nourishment to the calf.
The good wife of subscriber to the
HERALD says that some unregenerate
thief always hooks the HERALD from,
her husbands store, so that she never
gets to see it. She wants us to stop
the theft. We can only ask that this
evil practice be abandoned.
