his gradually growing gray hairs.
We would not leave the impression
that age was the cause of this, but
deep study and close application.
In our travels within the last ten
or twelve days, we made the discov-
cry as to the location of Herndon and
were astonished upon entering the
place at its well regulated streets, the
conveniences, in all respects, very far
surpassed our most sanguine expec-
tations. Its me business men, calcu-
lated to superinduce and monopolize
the trade of the whole surrounding
country.

The parties that visited Howell
from Herndon on a certain Sunday
afternoon, who after finding the
place could not find anything in it,
or anybody, we hope will accept our
explanation, that our business houses
are closed on Sunday and our citizens
attend church on that day. No
doubt the place looked dry to them,
but we guess the young ladies who
accepted a call that evening felt Just
little small. We hope the parties
will again visit us; we will essay to
do better. KLuB.
