A Card.

This is to state that having made a
contract with the COLUMBIA HERALD
Co. to accept coupons issued by them
in part payment OF goods purchased
for cash, weEfulIy intended to take in
same on pfOWs and potato planters,
but the State Agents having been
Notified by:our competitors that we
"were cutting and slashing prices" on
these articles, they notified us that
we must not accept coupons on these
goods. Will say however that since
the first of January the prices on our
celebrated Olive Chill Plows have
been reduced from 10 to 20 per cent.
AS these articles form a very small
part Of our business, we have made
them exceptions. All parties having
these bonds are SUE to get what they
say on the face, and will save ten
cents on the dollar by buying their
goods from us; and but for the inter
ference of our competitors we would
have saved the farmers of Maury
county this ten per cent on their
plows aud potato planters.
Respectfully,
jan2s-tf. DoBBINs & EwfNe.

Seriously Shot.

Last Tuesdaysnorning Wills Harris,
the grown son of David Harris, who
resides near Goodwin, as leaning on
his shot gun with both hands over
the muzzle, when his dog reared up
on the gun, placing its paw on the
trigger and causing the gun TO fire.
The load entered both hands. Dr5. J.
A. WitherspOon and Robert Pillow
were called, and decided it necessary
to amputate the left hand and three
fingers of the right hand. The young
man stood the operation well and will
recover. He was an exemplary,
industrious youth, and his sad misfor-
tune is greatly regretted.

all tickets drawing less than $1,000
would be cashed at an address in
Boston, and those drawing over that
amount would be cashed at New Or

ENTERTAINMENT.
SELECT READING.

Prof. a. H. Merrill, of the Wander.
bilt University, gave one of his unex-
celled readings at the Institute last
Friday night. His programme was
varied and excellent; his master
| piece being "Uncle Edinburgh
| DrOwnin," which was admirably rem
dered aud added fresh Iaurels TO the
fame of this artistic and talented man.
1t is great pity that our people
stand so much in Their own light and
lose so much real enjoyment by alb
senting themselves from such refined
and elevating enterta nmenis as Pro =.
Merrill gives. He is q perfect gem
tleman. of easy and graceful mar
| ners, AID as entertaining and fasci-
mating Oft the stage as on it. His
work before an audience evinces
painstaking care and study, and is
finished and artistic. The Study
Hall of the Institute, where these
entertainments are held, is always
pleasant and comic ftable, and tbe
readings are always intersperscd
with vocal and instrumental music,
and yet, with all these attractions,
mere handful attends these enter
tainments, when the hall should be
full. The price of admission is SO
small that it is within the reach of
all anu our people ShQulu certainly
show their love of the refined and
beautiful by attending in greater
numbers such rich intellectual feasts
as is always given by Prof. Merrill.
The Young Ladies Social Club was
entertained by Miss Mamie Black
last Friday, in delightful manner
Miss Kate Mckinney was awarded
the first prize at cards. The club
will meet at Miss Olive Rogers this
afternoon.

Notice TO the Public,

Several months since THE HERALD
gave permission to one J. G.. CaTswell
to travel in this county and represent
himself as correspondent of THE
HERALD. For the last month we
have tried by all the means known to
us to induce the gentleman TO call at
this office and give US a personal in
tervIew, that we might revoke that
permission. But since we can Meth
er see him nor learn his post Office
address, we take this means of mott
flying him and the public in general,
that we will publish no more of his
letters, and that he has no longer any
authority to represent himself as
correspondent of THE HERALD. He
has been signing himself "Abbotts-

Good Natured Advertising.

The merchant or business man in
any line who desires to reach the
public, and profit in doing so, should
give his announcements and invita-
tons genial, frank and good natured
cast. The advertisement that bears
Oh it's surface the indications of a dis
ordered liver does not attract. 1t re-
pels, aud instead of doing the writer
good, it Injuries him and drives peo-
pie elsewhere. The merchant who
smiles through his announcements
and over his counter makes friends
and money. 1--WE go this way but
once" and people turn aside and pay
good money TO meet a warm hand
clasp and a smile.
