The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1884-02-28

A kind of ola podrida; much in lit
tie /; Tom Teddy like, big head, little
body make up this weeks text. lam
pleased that the paper in whose wei
fare am so deeply interested is offer
ed by its proprietor to clubs of five at
81, so each, and an elegantly bound
COPY of the Poets, and other equally
handsome prose works to the getter
up of each and every club. This is a
liberal offer, and one which must be
highly appreciated. Besides this a
copy of the HERALD's artistic Alma
nac-itself worth three months sub
scription to the paper, to every single
single subscriber. Think OF it reader !
and then say no more that there is no
thing new under the Sur-this is GER
tainly new-a newness so incompora-
bly, bright that its lustre will be retlec-
ted far and near. Behind these gifts,
this generous hearted editor has num-
ber of strikingly beautiful steel engra-
wings, which are held in reserve, and
will next follow. Glorious isn't it?
So happy did l feel on the strength of
all this that I took the train Wednes-
day for Columbia, / wanted more room
to spread myself in.
The first thing that struck me there,
was the blow that struck Desportes &
Edmunds Gt did not hurt me as bad as
it did them,) in the breaking of one OF
their huge window lights. The two,
in the store being prepared for the
reception of NJ. L. Kinard's magnifi-
cent stock of Clothing, had already
been fitted into place, and two in the
side designed for the first named gen
tlemen had likewise found habita-
ton. So far so good; all was serene.
The placing OF these elegant lights
quite naturally attracted large crowds
ofwitnesseS. and on the successful issue
to the four the crowds began to de-
minish, the interest subsidized, a few
only remained to witness the opening
of box No. 5. When this was done,
the glass was found to be broken. A
sad breaking. These glasses are each
S y 10 feet in size. with a thickness OF
g. half inch, and cost $l35,00. Gee
1ohiUikinS what 4 cost for pane OF
glass-What hurt to break it. This
store room will be the pride OF, and an
ornament to Columbia, and Shiver's old
store will be remembered only as a
thing of the past. I think, however,
that the other-Kinard's-is far more
attractive and beautiful, and my ad-
vice to Kinard is that he employ some
deXterous hand to hoop him, Kenne-
dy and Irwin, with first class ties, to
keep them from bursting. Their pride
may otherwise cause them to have
fall. Hoop them securely. Speaking
of pride-C. F. Jackson perhaps will
be wise to have the same service done
for him. Since his trip Caiifornia-wise,
his talk Of the millions OF that peo-
pie is refreshing to the listener. He
is perfectly posted on the notable fea-
lures and prominent citizens of that
growing country, but he forgets not
one time the store of which he is so
proud, and the fact that the system he
has adopted has worked him success
that system is cash one. He deviates
not mite from it, and the consequence
is that he has cause to be proud. l
think the safest plan will be to hoop
him.
Do not be surprised reader when l
inform you that 1 have purchased a
dog-a bull pup-and that I repose
confidence in that dog. l loved dogs
when / was boy, but after growing
up my love changed to perfect in-
difference, almost hate. This dog
though is a good dog, he neither barks
nor bites, nor does he eat, and for the
purpose he is tlesigned-that is an edi-
tors dog, thiak him a perfect sine
qua non. Editors you are aware can
hardly feed themselves. I say that I
lost my love for the noble animal in
youth, that was time before it was
discovered that mixed with old tallow,
and seasoned with red pepper dog
is not bad to take. Bologna sausage
has revived my love for the dog. He
is seasonable, other than as bayer of
the moon, worrinr of Thomas Cats,
and the dread of cl ladies. Sausage
has done this. W n a mind at rest on
the above points, | went to the Hot
Supper-of course his was after get
ting back from Columbia, and then
learned the reason why Lady Wash
ington failed to get up her Tea Party.
1t grew out of mustache growing on
the upper lip of the gentleman to per-
senate General w. The lady Wash
ingtonians requested sacrifice of the
mustachio, bit the holder said no,
not one time ladies', the sacrifice is too
great. The consequence was--no Tea
Party, but instead a most delicious,
large and ti>fying Hot Supper. On
the whole I dol't know but what the
change was happy one. One thing
is certain however that it footed up
larger amount in cash than the other
could possibly have done.
