The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1884-05-15

Newberry is sadly in need of an
other thing, thing she should have
had long ago. and thing she must
have at no distant period. What IS
it? Why another outlet in the shape
of a railroad! Why this was not
accomplished years ago we cannot
imagine, unless it is that she has
been content to suffer the obliquy
of hiding under bushel. Let her
arise in her might, and her majesty,
and show herself equal to the emer-
gency by building road to con-
meet with Chester or some other
point near by. We are too much
under the yoke now and suffer q Fl,
nancial bondage which it were high
time was thrown off. We know the
Factoryi is beyond peradventure, and
bound Of prosperity looms up
grand and splendid in its prospects,
and we should no longer let this
great idea sleep. Let rs have
another road. -.....

We rode out q short distance one
afternoon last week, and we saw. and
a blind man almost might nave seen
it also. that is if not quite blind.
What did we see, well this, sweet
fields arrayed in living green,' on
every hand, stretching far and near,
magnificent fields Of tall growing,
beautiful oats and wheat-utterly
utter t." prospect. One Of the
finest views in this short ride was
presented on the home farm Of
Jas. J. Culhreath. Esq The vast
grove in front Of his modest
dwelling waved and glittcred in the
soft sunshine with oats, oats, oats,
from waist to shoulder high. Our
mind went back to the time OF. the
'unpleasantness' between North and
South, and an experience in the
Virginia valleys, for there in that
time which tried mems SOULS were
such fielis seen. The Hon. j. C..
Wilson also has large extent of
splendid wheat. These two are suf-
fcient to mention, but these gentle
men are not the only fortunate ones
After looking at the first mentioned
display Of what nature will do for
the industrious. we wondered if we
ever should see a pretty ornate cot
tage occupying the site now taken
up be the modest dwelling What

Do not be above your business. He
who turns up his nose at work quar-
rels with bread and butter. lie IS a
poor smith who is afraid Of his own
sparks: there's some discomforts ia
all trades, except chimney-sweeplng.
If sailors give up going to sea because
of the wet; if bakers left oil baking
bread because it is hard work; If pillow
men would not plow because of cold;
and tailors would not make our
clothes for fear of prlcklng their
fingers what pass we would come
to. Nonsense, my fine fellow, there's
no shame about any honest calling;
don't be afraid of soiling your. hands,
there's plenty of soap to be had.
All trades are good to good traders:
Lucifer matches pay well if you sell
enough OF them. You cannot get
honey if you are frightened by bees,
nor plant corn If you are afraid OF
getting mud on your boots. When
bars Of iron melt under the south
wind: when you can dig the fields
with toothpicks; blow ships along with
fans: manure the crops with lavender
water. and grow plum cakes IN Hover
pots. there will be a fine time FOR dan
dies but until the millennium comes
we shall have a deal to put up with

a gentleman to a Herald reporter re

an old negro. who had once been a
slave. but who had located on the old
plantation after the war and was his
own master. He gladly welcomed
me to his humble abode and to such
bed and board as he could provide.
Supper over, and most excellent
one, toe. the old man RECALLED me with
stories of plantation life until his son,
good chunk of boy, came home
from a neighbours Before retiring,
the old man asked me to read a chap
ter in the Bible, when he would pray.
He said ne couldn't read, but was
powerful in exhorting and prayer.
After reading a chapter from job and
part of a psalm, we knelt down and

passage remarkable for its beauty ano

A Little Previous.

They were talking across the lunch
table about prominent Eastern man
who married his cook within six
months after his wife's death, and
one of the gentlemen observed;
IF that is the case | want nothing
more TO do with him.
But he was pinched you know,
responded a second.
Howe
why, he had been cleaned out in
a deal in oil, while the cook has made

case. One must protect his CONNER
