The first issue Of the Greenville
Daily Herald reached our sanctum on
Tuesday and it has been dropping in
with the regularity Of clock work
every day since. 1t is a bright,
newsy afternoon sheet, and, Judging
from it's liberal advertising patronage,
it has come to stay. A liberal adver-
tising patronage is the thing that
counts in the newspaper business.

With this issue The TINES bid:
farewell to the old year, it's pleasure!
and its sorrows, it's successes and it,
failures. We close the last page O.
the year book. Its record is made
1t is all now thing Of the past
with the closing of the page let us
each and every one try and blot from
our memory all Of the unpleasant
things, our sorrows and dsaL point
ments and all ill feelings toward our
fellow man, and remember only those
things of a pleasant and agreeable
nature, those things the memory of
which will tend to make us more
thoughtful of others, will make us
better, more liberal and broad mind
ed during the new year just dawniug.
Let US charitably draw the veil over
the short comings Of each other,
striving to make the pages Of the
record book Of this year, the first
pages OF which we are alreany begin
ming to fill, shine forth with our good
works and good deeds, that when the
final page is closed there may be no
page within that the memory of
which will bring a blush of shame or
a sigh Of regret.
IHE TINES wishes to extend to its
readers and patrons it's most sincere
appreciation of the hearty support
accorded it, the many kind words of
appreciation and encouragement in
our work and the very liberal patron
age from our business men that we
have enjoyed throughout the year. |
We have tried hard to merit all this.
we have tried to speak a word of en-
couragemen ent here, word of sympa- |
thy there, and have tried hard to
make many friends and few if any
enemies. We have, in short, en-.
deavored, to the best of our
ability, to give you good news
paper, one whose weekly visits
would be looked forward to with
pleasure. AS to how far we have
succeeded in doing this we can only
leave the verdict to you and this we
do. We wish each and
every one Of you very happy and
prosperous new year, and promise
you at the ginning that it shall

homes during the year.

And, indeed, there is no great won
der in that when one reflects on the
bearings Of story OF colonization
lately told by Dresden paper. the
Weidmann.
This journal has somehow been
brought to imagine that there are
kangaroos (beutelratte) in South Al
rica, and says the Hottentots (Hot-
tentoten) put them in cages (kotter)
provided with covers Qattengitter)
TO protect them from the rain. The
cages are therefore called lattengit-
terwetterkotter and tho imprisoned

One Day an assassin (attentater)
was arrested who had killed Hot
tentot woman (Hottentotenmutter),
the mother of two stupid and stut-
tering children in Strattertrottel.
This woman, in the German Ian
guage, is entitled NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

takes the name of Hottentoten-
Observation-Disclosures. The MUIR
derer was confined in kangaroo
cage Observation-Disclosures IN
terkotter-whence a few days later
he escaped, but, fortunately, he was
recaptured by Hottentot, who pre-
sented himself at the mayors Office
with beaming face.
II have captured the beutelratte,"
says he.
(which one?" quoth the mayor;
"we have several"

whereupon, though the Dresden pa
per omits to mention it, the poor
Hottentot, am sure, laid him down
and never smiled again.
"Exclusivitatsherrenschneidermei \

to mean "the treasury of the direc-

WHAT HE WANTED TO KNOW,
The scotchman Was More Curious
About the Money Than the
Point Of the story.


Stories which illustrate the Scotch
habit of thrift are constantly coming
to light. There was one which great.
ly amused the late William Black
and which his .biographer, Sir Wem'
yss Reid, says he was fond of relat-
ing. 1t is story within story, and
although one part of it is old the
rest is not, says YOUTHS Companion
Somebody was telling Scotchman
tale which he had just been reading,
Of certain eastern potentate who,
having taken offense at the doings of
his grand vizier, had ordered him to
be put to death. The victim knew he
must die, but he wished to die COM
fortably. He was aware that his
masters chief executioner was very
Proficient, and could dispatch his vic
Tins not only with swiftness, but
with no appreciable suffering. Ac-
cordingly he sent for the execution
er, and offered him large sum of
money on condition that he would
put him to death without pain.
The executioner promised to do his
best. and the grand vizier went to
his doom in frame of pious resigna-
tion. Knee'ing to receive the fatal
blow, he was conscious that the
sword of the executioner was whiried
about his head, but he felt nothing.
'How is this?v he said. "You un-
dertook for large sum of money to
put me to death instantaneously and
without pain, yet you are only play
fng with me and prolonging my mis-
cry. Do your work quickly"
Thereupon the executioner stepped
up to the condemned man and offered
him pinch of SNUFF. The vizier took
the pinch of snuff and sneezed, and
forthwith his head tumbled from his
shoulders.
This is the story which, according
to Mr.. Black was told to fellow
countryman of his. The Scotchman
listened, and at the end said, "Well?"
'WellI" repeated the interlocutor.
"What do you mean?"
~I'm waiting for the finish of the
story" said the Scot.
"But you've got the finish," said the
other. "Don't you see, the execr-
tioner was so clever that he cut the
fellows neck in two without letting
him feel it?"
"Oh. aye. / kent that weel enough.
but that's not the point. What 1
want to know is, did the executioner
get the money!"

-.
Some newspapers, lacking in
formation, have started the report
that tho Keetoowah's were inssru-
mental in having the white adopted
citizens left of the final roll Of
Cherokee citizens that is now be-
Ing made by the Dawes commis-
sion. Such is not the fact. A
number Of white citizens had, by
various ways, forfeited their rights
a. Cherokee citizens, some by
'smarrying out" others by aban.
donment, and still others by NOV
ing out and becoming citizens OF
the states. In order to get these
of the roll tho Commission deemed
II expedient to require all adopted
whites to appear before the IL
and show that they were entitled
to enrolment. In other words, the
adopted people we're all put on the
outside in ordee to catch those
who would not be able to show
straight record. All who have not
forfeited their rights as Cherokee
citizens will eventually be placed
upon the final roll.
