Christmas and New Years present.
MFR. Editor, we have received little
Christmas gift about the size of 8
guinea egg on the side of our face, ir
the form of boil; which we do moi
appreciate very much. So you need
pot expect very many chips from q
man who is "boir-ing.
There have been several csses oa
Lagr1ppe, but It seems that it has been
in milder form.
+ School closed on Friday, 22nd ult.,
for a vacation ofzone week during the
holidays.
For fear that we will slight someone,
We will omit our Christmas visitors.
A good sermon from a good preacher
is nothing more than we expect. That
was just the kind we had at Bachman
Chapel on Christmas eve, from our
good old pastor, Rev. J. D. Bowles.
His text was the latter part of the sec
end verse of the 18th chapterof ST:
Luke: "This man receiveth sinners
and eateth with them.n The congre-
CATION was large, the evening was
one OF the loyeliest, and we have q
.rightto believe that every one present
felt that it was good TO be there. Rev.
James D. Kinard. of the Newberry
Seminary, was present and assisted in
the services. e.
Look here, Needle! Where are you?
Let US have some more Of your sharp.
Needle work. There area number Of
US that always enjoy just such jobs as
you put up.
Mrs. J. P. Kinard has been quite III
for The tsfew weeks; utglad to say.
she isnow somewhat i'm proved. Mrs.
p. T. Wise has also been quite sick,
but IS now on the mend.
Among other little Christmas rack
cts, there has been . LIMITED amount
of matrimonial racket. on Tuesday,
December 10Th, at the residence Of the
bride's father-Mr. Henry KonkIe
Mr.. Luther Chapman and Miss Clara
Konkle were made one flesh. And on
Sunday, oath, at the Lutheran parson-:
age. by Rev. J. II. Wyse, MI. William.
Livingstone and Miss May singley:
were made man and wife. 's.
We have lived to see thirty:seven
Christmas days. About thirty Of those;
we can well recall toourremembrance;
and of them all this has been, perhaps
the most beautiful. quiet one that has
been recorded IN the annals of our life.

We learn that another fire has oc-5
Cured in the Sigh section. On Tues
day night, l9thalt., Mr.. Calvin Metts'
corn crib was destroyed, together with
all Of his corn, three barrels OF -four.
ninety gallons Of molasses, two bales;
of cotton, and seed, and the prineiSal
part of his farming tools. We have
not learned whether there was any in-s
on the property or not. We
suppose the cause of the fire was, evi-SS
dently, from the hands Of an incen-
diary.
= We learn from Mr.. j. a. C. Kibler,
one Of the County Board of Control,
that the Dispensary was closed on
Christmas day. We. must congratu-1
late the Dispensary authorities, for this
is a new leaf to the old barroom sys-
tenn. But we must admit that the
liquor problem is a hard nut to crack,
and We are not yet prepared to pass
our opinion on the new law.
Dear Readers: We are taking the
last opportunity of presenting a few
lines in this good old year Of 1893.
Before another issue Of The Herald
and News this year will be closed, and
another leaf will be turned down upon
the pages of our lives, aud I would
dare say that there are many eyes per-
mitted to look upon these lines to-day
that a year hence will be closed in the
silent halls Of darkness.
The most of the young people, with
q large per cent. of the Older ones, look
upon the Cbristmas-tide as time for
a time for all manner OF
sporting, and we are often caught par
in various kinds of vice.
The celebration of the birth of Carist
is one of the grandest events on earth,
and we do not mean to say that We
should go with our heads bowed down
as if We were mourning over some OF
ou, deceased ones. But we should re-
joice in thanksgiving to God for the
blessed assurance of Saviour, who
took upon himself our sinful nature,
suffered and died that we might be
freed from our guilt and sin.
Now, gentle reader, as we enter upon
the arena of a new year, let US turn a
new leaf and strive to improve our
time. Always make it point to study
