THE EVENT OF THE SEASON.


Henry Watterson-the brilliant
editor of the Courier Journal, the
able statesman, the eloquent platform
orator, the foremost man OF the South
will deliver his famous lecture on
money and Morals" at the Opera
House in Columbia on Wednesday
night, the 18th. 1t is not necessary
to urge people to attend, for none
who can go, will stay away. 1t is
worth riding many miles to see q
man of his greatness, and worth going
many miles more to hear one OF his
elOquence. Great as he is with the
pen, he is still equal to himself when
he takes the lecturers rOstrum. He
wields an influence second to no man
in the nation, and it is once in q life
time that the people of this town and
county can have a convenient OppOr-
tunity to hear such man talk. He
is the prOgenitOr of the "Star-eyed
Goddess" he is the embodiment Of
Dem Ocracy; he is the Prince Rupert
of Journalism, aud his coming will
be the memorable event of the season.
His announcement has excited an
interest in town and country alike,
and the Opera House will be filled by
people from every district. After the
lecture he will hold an informal re-
option in the parlOrs of the Bethel
House to give an opportunity to many
who have already expressed a desire
to meet HIM, and to any others who
may wish to. The price of admission
Will be 75 cents down stairs, and so
cents in the gallary; tickets will be

office, by telephone or otherwise, will
be rDmptly attended to. The night
of the lecture, next Wednesday night,
will be mOOnlit, and people from the
country will have light drive to and
from the entertainment. Those who
miss it will be unfortunate and we
hope they will be few.

of them. Our subscription list is

increasing. If our coupons will save
money for your neighbor, they will
for you. Subscribe for THE HERALD

A MODEL HUSBAND.
A Chance for the Ladies to Air Their
Views.
And SIOin Gold to the Winuer.


In order to encourage the literary
tastes of our readers, and in order to
give the ladies an opportunity to in
form the gentlemen what Is expected
of them as husbands, and to express
their views OF what is a "Model
Husband;" for these and manifold
purposes, chief of which is to make
THE HERALD the most interesting
family paper anywhere to be found,
THE HERALD COMPANY will give $40
in gold to the lady sending us the
best letter on the subject "a Model
Husband"
The contest will continue three
months. Ladies either married or sim
gle, and ladies young or old may COM
pete, but children under sixteen years
of age will be excluded. Neither will
it be confined to ladies of this county
or this State, but ladies from any
where may enter the list.
A fictitious signature and the real
name and post office address of the
writer must accompany the letter, sOr
it will positively not be published.
The writer's must also remember to
give special care to spelling and
punctuation, as the editor of the
HERALD cannot and will not, in a
contest like this, exercise the right to
revise letters as he does general news
correspondence. The writing must
be on one side of the paper only, and
must.nOt exceed one thousand words.
All letters should be directed to the
editor of the HERALD, by whom the
real names of the writer's will be kept
in the strictest confidence until after
the prize is awarded. The merit OF
the contributions will be judged of by
committee appointed for that pur-
pose, and the prize awarded according
to their decision. The committee will
not be appointed until the close of the
contest, and then no member of it
will know the name of or be cOnnec-
ted with any contestant, il possible
to prevent.
Every thing will! be done to conduct
the contest in the fairest manner pos
sible. The subject is an interesting
one, and the effort will be improving
to all who try and somebody will get
$40 in gold.
When this contest Is ended, if it
proves of interest to our readers we
will offer to the gentlemen a like
prize for the best essay on "a Model
Wife,"

The Raging Duck.

Duck River was higher at this point
last Sunday than it has been sin 3e
1874. In The spring OF that year
Ashton's flour mill, situated on tn
river just above Columbia, was
washed away. The mill was rebuilt
several feet higher, but Sunday was
in great danger again. The lower
and secol floors were submerged in
the morning and the river was still
rising. 1t began to fall late in the
evening, however, and the danger
was over. The streams all over the
county were out of their banks and
fences and water-gates and light
bridges suffered greatly.
