The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-11-01

Well, we have concluded that it is
about time for US to pick up few more
chips. for: The. Herald and News.
For the past six or eight weeks it has
been rip-Shealy at our house, as the
saying goes, and we have found but
little or no time to write.
The general health of our section is
very good.
Mr.. NJ. L. Strauss went to Orange
burg last week to look after the interest
of his plantation and also to collect his
rents.
Mr.. Adam Aull has completed bis
contract for the rebuilding of the bridge
across Cannon's creek below Mr.. r. D.
Kinard's. The JOB is said to be a very
good one.
Mr.. A. 3. Piester has the contract to
rebuild the Quatllebaum bridge across
Timmerman's creek. The lumber is
laid down, and Mr.. Piester will COM
| mence work very soon.
MIR. 0. S. Stron, who bid off the
Hogle bridge contract on the same
stream, about two months ago, has at
last completed his job. The delay has
caused much Inconvenience to the
travelling public of this section.
Miss Polly Kinard, who has spect
eight or ten mouths with her sister,
Mrs. II. R. Epps, is now visiting Mr..
w. B. Boinest's family.
We noticed an advertisement in our
county papers about a mouth or six
weeks ago, stating that all everseers
who failed to work their full six DAYS
on the public highways and make their
returns of the same by the first of Octo-
ber would be prosecuted.
We have been reliably informed that
there are some overseers who have
neither worked their full time nor
made their returns, and still there is
no one prosecuted yet, as we can hear
of. What effect will your next adver-
tlsement to overseers have, Commits
sioners?
1t seems as though this has become
almost the centre Of mad dogs. On
| Saturday night the l4th instant, mad
dog passed through this section and
fought with Mr.. s. J. Kinard's fine
bird-dog: just in two weeks time the
dog went mad and Mr.. Kinard had
him killed. The first dog in question,
on its rounds, fought with the dogs of
Messrs. J. P. and T. D. Kinard, and
on last Saturday one of Mr.. J. P. XII
nard's dogs went mad. :. Tt was imme-
diately killed. At last accounts Mr.. T.
D. Kinard's dogs are "all right" but
as there is no special time for hydro.
phobia to manifest itself, we do not
know whether they escaped the infec-
tion or not. OF the two bitten dogs
which went mad, one showed bis mad
ness in two weeks and the other in
three.
Now friends and kind neighbors, ou,
advice to you is to either kill YOUR dogs
or put them in safe keeping. We pro-
pose to give you the same showingthat
We intend to take ourselves. We have
a double. barrel shot gun, well loaded,
and We intend to "make peace" with
the very first stray dog thai enters oul
yard.
All lof the white patrons of this school
district are requested to meet at the
new school building near Mr.. NJ. NJ
Longs. on Friday next, at p. III. We
hope that all who are interested in
school matters will turnout. By order
of the board Of trustees.
We are glad to note that Rev. J. D
Bowles has accepted a call TO preach al
Bachman chapel. He will preach his
first sermon on the 2ud Sunday of the
present month at II m.
Not much State Fair talked in this
section. The time is taken up in talk.
ing "home fare"
Mr.. J. J. Kinard was OF the sick list
last week, but I am glad to note thai
be is somewhat improved.
There will be communion service al
Cannon's creek church on Sunday next
with preparatory services on Saturday
previous.
MI. and Mrs. J. K. Epps were visit.
ing in the O'Neall section on Saturday
and Sunday last, the guests of Mr.
Simpson Dominick and family.
Suppose We quit quarreling over the
dispeDsary law and petition the next
Legislature to repeal the law and give
the people directly what they voted fol
prohibition. Give it to them whether
it is just the thing they need or not; it
IS nothing more than right and jnst
for them to have it. At some future
time [ will have something more to
say upon the dispensary subject.
