Rec tify, friend Reynolds. There has been and still is consider able stealing going on in town ani county. Let everybody who has any thing valuable keep it under .lock an< key, and sleep at night with one ey open. BAX.-We haven't heard the toot ing of the horns and the beating of th< drums since the election. Hope th, young amateurs don't intend to give ul their music. Newberry ought to havy a permanent band.

He took fright at the cars Tuesday, upset the I buggy with the Doctor's little boy in it, y broke loose and ran up street, with the broken traces flying in the air, as if l forty fiends were after him. THE POOR HousE.-The County Com missioners want a keeper for the poor house. We have no hopes of getting the position ; but we are very anxious C to know who will. We want to culti vate his friendship and get into his I good graces. t r The Register says "Abbeville is thus C r far the banner county in paying her l r taxes." The Press and Banner quotes the statement. What taxes, gentlemen, r do you allude to?. Newberry has all t along been ahead of any county in the State, except Charleston, in paying the Hampton taxes. r t COMFORTABLY FIxED.--We are pleased to know that our young friend, S Mr. J. B.

Take b advanage of this opportunity. Their a custom depaitment is well stocked and 3 under the management of a practical and experienced cutter. t, CouNTY COMMISSIONERS.-R. .B. El - liott, claiming to be Attorney-General of South Carolina, has approved the fi * bonds of Simeon Young and Wesley o Brown, which bonds the County Clerk t< refused to approve, because the sureties b would not justify. The bondsmen are: For Simeon Young-J. C. Leahy, A. L. Snead and J. J. Carrington; for Wes ley Brown-W. H. Snead, R. E. Wil liams, M. S. Long, H. C. Corwin and Robt. Cannon. ANOTHER .PATET.-Mr. Joseph r Brown has the patent for a new barom -eter; which, whatever may be said of its other qualities, certainly recom mends itself to those desirous of having n a cheap weather gauge.

A GOn PAPER and one which should be in every household in the State is the Christian Neighbor, edited by the g, Rev. Sidi H. Brown, Columbia, S. C. a We get more profit from the Neighbor than from any other paper of the same t Scharacter on our exchangelhist;and could Snot do without its weekly visits. We r1 -would like every reader of the HERALD to become a subscriber to the Neighbor. I t COU:R-MRTIAL.--Lieutenant J. H. tl 3 Todd, who was stationed at Prosperity b -on election day, was tried by court *n martial in Columbia a week ago, on a the charge of interfering with voters. i, I It was charged that Lieutenant Todd a - worked for the Democrats on that day, t< - and an affidavit to that effect was made fi .by Charley Gary, a low negro politician ~ of Newberry. The verdict was "Not s] r Guilty." f t BLANK BOOK~S.-The business portion I s of Newberry are reminded that in Co lumbia there is a first-class Book Bind ing establishment, where Blank Books tl L equal to the best are manufactured, and v ,at moderate prices. Mr. E. R. Stokes, a .the proprietor, is a practical Binder of d - long experience, and guarantees good sl work. All kinds of ruling, binding and , lettering done at short notice. Give ij Shim your work.. v b . NEWBERRY COLLEGE.-By an adver- o e tisement in this issue it is seen that pro -tl posals are invited for the location of b this institution. The trustees have con- a i cluded to move it from Walhalla. ti - Won't Newberry make a bid? Its loca- v tion here would help the,.town greatly a S-pecuniarily and otherwise. Fifty v boarding students would expend here b about $20,000 a year. There are num- y~ t erous other inducements that will sug- si -gest themselves to everybody. fi tC s ADVERTISE.-AdvertiSe and let the n people of the County see that Newberry d is a live town, and that her merchants si Shave goods to sell and mean to sell y them. If you cannot afford to contract a for a hundred dollar advertisement as v in the good old days, send in a fifty cent one. No matter how small the price or the notice, send it in and show that there is life in the town. Make a 2run on something, if it's only dried cod a fish or dried apples, and draw custom - by which other merchandise will be a sold. In a'recent visit to the Male Acad- i -emy we were much pleased with the I neat, convenient and comfortable ap- r -pearance of the rooms and furniture. t The desks are as good as we ever saw b in any school-room. Indeed, every- s thing requisite for tihe proper care and v tuition of the boys is provided. We ti noticed with special approbation one e piece of necessary furniture. Arriving ti a little in advance of the Professor, we fi observed a mischievous little urchin ~ flourishing in his hand a birch that he s had abstracted from some obscure o crevice. Asking him if he had ever c had a taste of that article, he said, a s'Yes, I tasted it yistiddy."e s t e A CHEAP COMBINATION.-In con-1 e nection with the HERALD (which every man in the County should have) we are ( prepared to furnish to all new subscri-I e bers from this date, the following ex I-cletArclua orasa eue l- raesen viz: ta Jrnal and reued . ruate, fiz: oe Er, 4. and then C E.

At May )inton Friday an old colored man came ip and paid not only the tenth but the vhole of his tax. Mr. Eison also paid is whole tax. The ageht says that, everal uncompromising colored Re )ublicans have come forward and paid heir tax to the Hampton government. Lt the date the letter was written (Jan. 8th) $4600 had been collected. That's he way the money goes: pop goes Jhamberlain. Hurrah for Hampton mnd Newberry. FALL 1N CHINA.-China tumbled lown last week to an alarming extent. . young couple just lately gone to tousekeeping in the country, thought he dinner meal would eat sweeter i-om china than common crockery. [he table was therefore spread in ac :ordance with their taste, and indeed oked pretty. Dinner over, the loving wain withdrew for a moment, and in hat short time, the house dog, whose ,ste for the beautiful was largely over >alanced by his taste for cold victuals, imped upon the table, which sad to elate tilted over, when down went the hina. It was a complete wreck. We ympathize deeply with the young ouple. Moral-had they been subscri ers to the HERALD the accident would ot have happened-for it advocates the eeping of dogs in their proper place. SUNDAY ITEMS.-Sunday being such pleasant day the good people of the >wn (and the bad ones too) turned out 1 large numbers to hear the gospel. A rowded house is no doubt encouraging a preacher, but when five devout 7orshippers are sandwiched together on bench intended to accommodate only lree, they don't enjoy the sermon as ich as they ought. While the preacher preads himself, -they can't. And he sually selects that very occasion for reaching a long sermon. That is a iistake. If a preacher wants to preach long sermon he ought to do so when is congregation is small, so that every ody will have room to be comfortable nd go to sleep. "A word to the wise," :c. There were no services in the Presby arian Church on Sunday morning, the astor being in Edgefield. GooD TEMPLARS.-The following of cers, elected at the last regular meeting f Kosciusko Lodge, No. 32, I.O.G.T., > serve for the ensuing quarter, will e installed at Odd Fellows' Hall, on 'hursday evening, February 1st: L. R. Marshall, W. C. T. Miss Lizzie White, W. V. T. H. C. Moses, W. S. J. H. M. Kinard, W. F. S. Jno. A. Kinard, W. T. Rev. Z. L. White, W. C. Z. P. Moses, W. M. S. B. Jones. W. I. G. R. S. Whaley, WV. 0. G. A full attendance of members is ear estly requested. County Lodge will meet at Helena ednesday, 21st day of F'ebruary, at ne o'clock. Grand Lodge will meet at Newberry Vedresday, 25th day of April, 1877. A convention of the horses and mules f this county is suggested to be held in ~ont of the Court House between now nid corn planting time. Some of the rievances are: that after toiling rough the mud all day they are not abbed down and cleaned; stables are ot properly littered; don't get suffi jent corn; when visitors' horses stop ver night they are turned out into the >t because of lack of stable room; that iey are frequently struck over the ead with fence rails, and receive other altreatment; that the kindest word ddressed to them by colored drivers is the shape of a horrid blasphemy; nd further, that when they are too old > work they are turned out into old elds to die. All these and other com laints will be discussed. Cows and eep which suffer through the winter >r lack of shelter and a sufficiency of ucks are invited to attend. Mr. sergh, it is thought, will be present. COTTON EXCITEMENT.-The bad wea :ser and worse roads the past few reeks diminished the supply of cotton, nd in consequence buyers were much epressed. They were forced to be con tantly on the lookout, the roads were atched, and runners kept constantly 1 readiness for every approaching ragon if it was thought it contained a ale of the fleecy. A little after sun-up n Saturday morning, they were all at 2eir posts, and as the morning was right, objects could be seen distinctly t a great distance; away out towards Ie cross-roads, something like a wagon ras espied and hopes ran high that it ight contain a bale of cotton, and it ras amusing to see the ten or twelve uyers on the corner of Pratt and Cald rell streets preparing for the tussle. A ranger might have supposed a dog ght was in progress, the hotel on fire, ne of the numerous thieves arrested, a urder comimitted, or some other readful thing-so large the crowd and great the excitement. There was no rool pulled, however, nor was there ny cutting except on the bag of cotton, rhich suffered considerably. DIABOICAL.-Language fails to de cribe the emotions of the senior quill river of the HERALD onl Sunday orning last, when he made the sad iscovery that three of his finest Buff nd Partridge pullets were missing. It as a crushing blow this fowl robbery, t it was Sunday, and instead of utter ag a whoop and taking the war-path ike Sitting Bull, with a great gulp of aental agony, he swallowed it with the reakfast which was then ready. This reed of fowls was a hobby; there were even, one chicken rooster, whose crow ras equal to the reverberation of small bunder, and six lovely pullets whose ggs were a wonder to behold. For iately, the thief wvas either scared be are completing the work, or a com ~unction of conscience flowed into his oul, for he left us the rooster and the ther three pullets. Strange! these hickens had never been under lock nd key since leaving their shells they ntered upon an active life, and only be night before an elegant, shining ock was purchased and they were dade secure, that is, we thought so. )nly one night did they roost under Dek, and the next think they were -one. Where are they? Echo answers, where." Can any one tell? There ever was a fowler robbery committed a Newberry County, when it.is con der ed how- great a friend the nigger as found in us-how many quarters, alves and dollars have been bestowed. ~-.I- ~e ABOUT THE TOWN AND COUNTT. The weather is all right and so is tl goose bone. The sun struggled through the clow Wednesday morning last and glisteni on the sheets of mud revealed the so est places, thus Enabling foot pads to struggle throuc with a tolerable degree of certainty to where they were going. The sale of blacking has stopped f the present in consequence of the mu and gents are privileged to make ev ning calls without the accustome shine. It is currently reported that after tl bad weather the "p'lice" will be r quired to shine their boots, and be ii spected at 9 o'clock every morning. will not be lawful after this regulatic takes effect to make an arrest with dirl boots. This office was thrown into conste nation a few days ago by a subscribi presenting a $50 bill in payment. Tw editors, foreman, journeymen and de ils emptied their purses in the vain e fort to make change-the united po amounting only to one dollar and se' enty-five cents. The next individual who asks " there anything in the HERALD th week?" will be dealt with to the fa extent of the law. The loafer will never be happy ti standing on the street corners is calle work, and he gets paid for it. Marriage notices are.not so abundar as during the cold snap. Small grain is growing finely. We understand that there is a goc deal of cotton in the county yet to com in. Everybody and his wife and childre enjoyed the balmy sunshine last We< nesday after the long rainy spell. Those of our readers who talk < sowing seed are earnestly advised t wait further developments of the wea ther. Another fall of snew is looked fo: and rain. There will be more or les of cold until warm weather sets in. In the meanwhile if the farmer ha nothing else to do he can subscribe fo the HERALD, or pay for subscriptio already due. A little chap, and not so little but th he should know better, hangs his hea and lets his under lip stick out whe asked to do anything. He is awful] averse to do anything useful, and call it work, but will work till the perspirs tion starts doing things which are of n benefit. This same chap grumbles an pouts if he does not get a full share c everything good. We don't want ever boy in town to bring us to account f< this paragraph. The invitation to come up and sul scribe- for the HERALD is still extende< We are pleased that some have accep ed. Next Monday will be Sale-day. Man persons will be in town. Some of thet owe for advertising and some for sul scription. They are earnestly invite to settle. To the person who will solve this rit dIe and bring us in four cash subscr bers at $2.50 each, we will give tL EERAID free for one year or a SS cop of the Industries of all Nations.

To what base uses do we come last-resorting to riddles to get a fe' subscribers. Newberry is unfortunately out< soap, or rather we would say sod orackers, parched goobers and krou and what else we know not, as thea were the only articles looked for la: week to feed the printers. Since writing the above all hani have been made supremely happa in that at the store of Mr. Josep Brown krout and goobers have bee found. In short there are few artick of every day use that he has not go When housekeepers are in trouble fc any particular thing just let them ca on Mr. Brown; it's only a short wa down town. Some of that krout found its way t the little cottage on the corner of Oak well and Friend streets, and has bee disposed of. House-breaking and thefts have bi come so general that buckshot are i great demand, and the last thing man does at night is to see that h gun is loaded and ready for use. Loo out, ye prowling, midnight thieves. Look out for your palings: they mali excellent kindling wood. Merchants say business is not so du as croakers represent. Some people say there are lots< money in the county. Who's got it? Act according to your own sense right, and don't wait for anybody I dictate to you. The harder you work the less bar the times will be. Most people who are continual] grumbling about "hard times" are di ing nothing to make them better. Our devil got shot the other day-g< them of Ramiage, who inquisitive1 asked him if he intended hunting eli phants. He is indignant about it an declares that R. will find he has an el< phant on his hands if such questior are asked again. Everybody is going to farm this yea1 on all sides we hear of parties wt itherto have been scratching in ever other way for a living, but now fixing t fight the battle on the farm. We kno' not whether the struggle will be mad over cotton or corn. Let us hope tlt latter. There never was a greater activit in the mule market than at presen Long-eared stock is in great deman< Quite a number changed hands la: week. Is it not about time to entreat tlt farmers of Newberry to plant largel in corn? They did very well last yes considering, but this year we woul have them do better. Mr. J. C. Wilson, of town, raised Ia! year, on a patch just outside cf towi five hundred bushels of corn. We di not know this until a-night or two agi or he should have been placed on tlo roll of honor long ago. 'Twas Sunday afternoon, and on tl~ A wee chap, after morning servic Sunday, said to his mother, "I'm glac ie Mr. said it was a short metr hymn, for I don't like long ones." H Is thought the metre indicated the size o ig the hymn. BURGLARY.-Monday night, the 22d h some person broke into the dwelling I house of Mr. J. M. Crawford in town and stole therefrom a double barre shot-gun, a sack of flour, and othe )r articles. Tuesday, Chief of Police Gail 1, lard arrested a negro by the name o e- Henry King on suspicion that he wa d the guilty party. The negro stoutl3 denied the charge; but he was locke< te up in the guardhouse Tuesday night and after studying over the matter ir . the darkness and solitude of that abode [t and no doubt concluding that an oper n confession was good for the souls ac knowledged his guilt Wednesday morn ing. The kitchen of Mr. Robt. Reagin wa entered onfWednesday night last and number of kitchen utensils, togethet o with a good blanket and a quantity of krout, stolen. It appears that Mr Reagin had that day finished rolling the building up to the main dwelling, for greater convenience and security, and had also removed some provision is from the smoke-house, which the thieves is thought would be found in the kitchen. 11 In this they were mistaken as these ar ticles had been placed away in the 11house. d A citizen in town who has a fine lo1 d of collards, complains that they are nightly raided and large numbers taken. Lt A NARROW ESCAPE FROM MUD. -Mr. D. W. McCollough started from Jalapa on Thursday with three bales of d cotton on a wagon. He was innocent e of the condition of the road, but having an idea that the trip might occupy time l he started early, and did not reach town - till afternoon-speed about one mile an hour. His experience at the last mud hole, just beyond Helena and in the f neighborhood of Mr. Joseph Glenn's, 0 was of a fearful character. The stall there was worse than at any other of the notable holes; the two hind mules with the driver fell, and as be thought, s to rise no more. To a man in a tree the situation looked ugly; how, much more so to the man in the mud. What S the mules thought Mr. McCullough did r not know, but he thought he had seen n things which looked better. He waded in, however, and prized out the driver, 6t then rnlimbered the mules, which after d a terrific struggle got on their legs. ( Patience, perseverance and muscle ena y bled them finally to bring the wagon s out, and as stated they reached town. L. Mr. McCullough was so gratified at his o escape from a muddy grave that he d came up and renewed his subscription f to the HERALD. Every man who escapes y from a similar or any other dangei r should follow his example. We will write obituaries free of charge of al: who perish in mud-holes. ~-Dr. S. F.

It ripens six weeks easrliei than any other kind, and grows from 6 to 14 0 ears on a stalk. The important points we claim for this new variety of corn are these: 1. One stalk d of this corn bears from 6 to 14 ears; one hill with two stalks makes from 10 to 25 ears producing from one acre of ground aboul Y three or four times as many bushels on the >- same soil and with the same culture as the common corn. 2. The corn is heavier in weight, has as large an ear, thinner husk, )t and makes corn meal, for family use, sweet. yer and more nutritious, and valuable foz Sfeeding stock. 3. That it iuill grow and pro 'due a profitable crop on ground where othez Scorn will not grow to maturity. 4. It ripens Searlier and iV.ot liable to be caught by frost. s 5. The grains are large, pure and white, and an ordinary yield is from 80 to 100 bushels te the acre, on medium land. ;A fine quality of Flour can be made from oit. When ground it prodn'ces a flour anala gous both in appearance and taste to flow2 I made from the best white wheat. Even an 0 epicure would fail to distinguish between V bread made from the two.
