AtNeyy Years Party.

The Lotus Club not content with
the dance at the Hotel Friday night las
renewed the pleasant pastime, at the
large and elegant residence OF Maj. l..
J. Jones, Monday night OF this week.
1t was the party OF the season, and
the young people danced the old year
out to the sound Of music sweet. with
fairy feet. They were all Oil hand, or
rather on feet, for the purpose was to
trip the light fantastic, and right mar
vellous was the tripping, particularly
on the part of the young men up to
the witching hour of midnight. when
the Club was taken in hand by yc maid
ems fair, Miss Katie Rutherford being
lifted to the important position OF floor
manager. Right royalty did she exer-
sise her sweet prcrogatire. Tie GEN
tlemen in their natural character
as lords Of creation" bore them
selves finely untiltwelve when they
were made to put the lady on, the
ladies taking the leap year privilege OF
doing the gallant. 1t was we'll done
of course, and well enjoyed, and the
hours sped delightfully."- until haif-past
two, when the relative positions Of
ladies and lassies resolved irto the nat
ural channels agaia. Thus was l
double party enjoyed, 1888 and 1881
being blended and welded together,
by Il bright and merr crowd Of young
men aud maidens. the pride OF the
town OF NewbeTy.

Christmas is over, and ] am over the
egg-nog, the turkey and the presents
of that happy season. It Is time that
was settling down to work. am
not fond OF work though, and can lay
down and sleep alongside OF big days

1884 has in store for Inc, / would Ike
50 much to know, for, like Micawbcr am
waiting for something to turn up. Ny
talents are of Il superior order. but they
have not been appreciated, and the
community in which live and the
world at large have consequently lost
the advantages which woul1 haye
fallen to them, had met with that ap-
probation which have ever considered
due me. There is the stuff in me to
make great general.,a distinguished
statesman, successful banker, q rail-
road king, or I could even make an
editor; all that has ever been lacking
is that the fortuitous circumstance
has never turned up. 1 need setting
up. 1t has never been my luck to have
been brought forward. ''Col. Sniffies

widow, and husband for the orphan ; no

to Pop fire crackers anywhere. A town
entertainment to which every one would
be invited, would have been a feature
of my reign, ard after the dinner there
would have been hanging of those
who failed to attend. Like most peri
ods in my life this one was still-born and
the chance to distinguish myself flashed

Remarkable but True.

The Anderson L.!.sMgencer tells OF u
lady who is still using the same pair
of hair pins that she purchased before
she was married, and she has been
married long enough to have daugh-
ter grown up. The Edgefield Chronicle
says that there is living in that County
a lady who has set of knives and
forks, together with set Of cups and
sGucers that she has been using over
thirty years.
AS a set off to this we know q lady
i'm Fairfield County, who is so very
careful with her household things that
she has the same cups, saucers, plates!
knives and forks that she has used fer
over thirty years. She has also tin
foot tub that is Us good as Few al
though it is as old a the other articles.
What is the most remarkable Of all is
that her bonnet claims the same dis
tinguished age and looks today as
nice as one of the last fall bonnets, its
shape and the character Of its ribbons
being changed once il while. We
need only furthersay that this remark
able lady is one of the best housekeel-
! ers. and the most loya5le woman next
10 one in our own household that We
haye ewes known.

Disagreeable.

At this season, the commencement
of new year, the proprietor OF paper
is called upon to perform Il most disa-
greeable duty, the cutting off or erasing
the names from the subscription book,
of sundry and divers subscribers who
have failed to pay him for lis paper,
and who even neglect to write and tell
him that they are unable to pay. How
much cleyerer and honester it would be
were they to simply drop. him a card
and say, ''please stop my paper, ca
not pay for it." than to continue
through the year to receive it, and read
it, and enjoy it. Honesty is the best
policy always, and we would think
better of the man who would acknow-
lege his inability-and may be we
would send the HERALD free, without
hope of pay, and in the hope that that
subscriber might be benefited. As we
said at the outset, this disagreeable
duty has to be performed, and after
this notice goes forth we will COM
mence to cut all non-paying subscri-
1sars from off our books, and may the
I'd have mercy on them, and cause
them the TO pay the dues honestly and
iaborios;sly made, and which would do
US more good TO receive than they

Christmas passed off quietly, as We
have dry town, so we had few or 70
fights or accidents. William Chalmers,
(coloreO accidentally shot himself III
the hand, by carelessly handling a pis-
tol, wound not dangerous. We are sorry
to saw our esteemed friend, Mrs. W. C..
Sigh, was confined to sick bed dur
ing the holidays, but glad to say she IS
now slowly improving.
A turkey dinner and egg-nog was
enjoyed u; some ct Our townsmen.
Two OF our Wllies both having the same
initials, have regular stations number
ing to take on egg-nog, as an engine
takes OIL water at tanks well there is
no harm in eggs, sugar, milk AID nut
megs mixed.
The oat and wheat crops are larger
than ever known and quite promising.
Quite number of our farmers are
wearing beautiful jeans, made OF wool,
from their sheep, being exchanged in
Ga. Mrs. E. P. Mathews presented
onr Junior NJ. D. with beautiful pair
Of pants, of above alluded to jeans.
How I envy these NJ. DIS. in receiving
so many presents. Col. G. S. Cannon,
is the most liberal man in No. 5; being
dry year, he voluntarily forgare his
several renters half bale cotton to
each horse farm.
The wild turkey gobbler alluded to
vamoosed; our Daniel Boone, who
tried to kill him by tyinga tame turkey
hen near by is discouraged; and offers
his purse for turkey dog. II any OF

a dog to dispose of, he can find ready

but alas, alas, all that we now have Is
the recollection of it, and very pleas
ant is the memory thereof. We Won

The New Year.

The New Hear.
The year 1883 is past, and We have
entered upon the duties and response
bilities, and the cares and the tolls
Of another year. We, fei one, are
thankful that we have lived though
the year that is gone. Whether zSe
shall live through the present year,
and what will be the outcome, no one
can tell. We all hope however that
1884 will be no worse than 1883. We
even go further and hope, it costs
nothing to indulge in hope you know,
that all things will be better, that
crops will be more abundant, business
of all kinds flourish, and even the
HERALD:s influence extend, and its
prospects be brighter. We wish that
all OF our readers will join us in this
hope and not only that, but give us a
kind word, here and there, aud that
like good seed these kind words may
fall into good ground, aud spring up,
and bring forth much fruit to our gain.
Readers one and all, We wish you each
a Happy New Year, may success crown
your every effort, and the year bring
you happiness and peace.

Polishing the Wrong End.

Many men daily polish thei: Eoats
who never give thought to the condi-
ton OF ,hrir hair, except To harrow it
casually with brush and comb, or sub
init it to the paralyzing attention OF
the average barb>r. What HAPPENS?
Why, this: From ueglect, mental ann
iety, or any of a score of causes. the
hair turns prematureiy gray and be-
gins to fail out. Parker's Hair Balsam
will at once stop the latter process and
restore the original color. An elegant
dressing, free from grease.
