Failure of c. II, rliller.

The sensation of the week has been
the failure of Mr.. c. H. Miller, late
sheriff of this county. His liabilities
are estimated at $50, 900 to $40, 900,
while his assets may reach $40, 600.
He is indebted on account of taxes to
the State about 81, 500; the county,
$780, and to the several school
boards about 81 900, all of which his
bondsmen will make good. The cause
is somewhat of a mystery as Mr.. Mil
Ter is man of very frugal habits.
The best reasons assigned is that he
Endorsed too freely and was engaged
i'll too many enterprises, which,
with lax method of keeping &C.
counts, has effected his financial mis-
hap.

No Herald Next Week.

There are several reasons why the
Herald will not be issued next week.
First and foremost, Christmas is COM

must have it on the theory that sAll
work and no pay makes Jack dull
boy;'' we want our readers to know
how much they will miss their favor
lite newspaper; very dear friend has
great big turkey in training which
he intends the editor to carve, and
then there are some changes in con-
temptation in the makeup of the
Herald which will be quite pleasing.
Until the next visit of the Herald
please accept our wish that all
readers may have a pleasant Christ
mas and happy New Year.

The Jones Fencing,

70 the ed itor of the Herald.
That Mr.. ]. c. Tabler, of Duffields,
w. Va, has bought the patent on the
Jones lock wire fence, for this county,
after owning Shepherds district, in
Jefferson county, and after he has been
building the fence for months. shows
the merit of the fence by its use before
the public, and the necessity of keep
ing it there, which, had he not known
by experience and advertising. he
would have neither bought this county
nor put his advertisement in another
column of the Herald. My experience
of ten years in various patent fences
is that no man can go amiss in buying
or building this unapproached, al
superior fence.
