The first object in life with the Amer ican people is to "get rich"; the second. how to regain good health. The first can be obtained by energy, honesty and saving; the second, (good health) by using GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER. Should you be a despondent sufferer from any of the effects of Dvspepsia, Liver Complaint, Indigestion, &c., such as Sick Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, Sour Stomach. Habitual Costive ness, Dizziness of the Head, Nervous Prostration, Low Spirits, &c., you need not suffer another day. Two doses of AUGUST FLOWER will relieve you at once. Sample Bottles 10 cents. Reg ular size 75 cents. Positively sold by all first-class Druggists in the U. S. 38-e.o.w. The large and popular establishment of Messrs. Kingsland & Heath, of Col umbia, so well and favorably known to the readers of the HERALD, is now be ing stocked with all the new and latest patterns in Crockery, Glass, China, Tin Ware, &c., besides all the latest im provements in household and kitchen utensils. Housekeepers will find in this store everything pertaining to house or kitchen, and at moderate prices, and they are advised to exam ine the stock while visiting the city. If a visit is not practicable send an or der. 39-tf. - FRST.-There was a very respectable frost in Newberry Friday morning. A gentleman in town says he saw frost a week before that-the 5th. A CvmOUSPOTATO.-Mr. L. F. Long shore showed us a yam potato Friday, taken out of his patch, that rather takes the rag off the shrubbery. It is thirty nine inches long and almost straight. MONEY ORDERs.-During the month of September, 152 money orders were issued from the Newberry Post Office, amounting to $1,366.92. Number of orders paid, 31; amount, $393.11. GAM LAw.-Partridges are hiding out now. Their day of grace expired the 15th. You can kill as many "par tridges, dovs wild turkeys, wood cocks, snipes and pheasants" as you please until the 15th day of April. Mr. Jno. R. Spearman has been drawn as a petit juror, to serve at the November term of the United States Circuit Court in Columbia. No other person from this county was drawn on either the grand or petit jury. The attention of farmers and dealers is directed to the new card of Messrs. J. E. Adger & Co., Charleston, hard ware dealers.' Their assortment of goods is very large and embraces every article in their line which can be called for. TANKS.-Mr. A. J. McCaughrin has our thanks for interesting items on Rainfall in Newberry and Movement of Cotton. He makes record of every event of practical use which happens in New berry, thereby utilizing his time and abilities in a useful way. Do you want bargains in cooking stoves? It is hardly necessary to ask such a question, however, for every one who needs a stove wants it cheap. By calling on Mr. W. T. Wright the want can be supplied not only in stoves, but in all other articles in his line. OYsTERs.-There are fresh oysters.in town now. Our young friend David M. Dickert keeps them fresh at his Res taurant over Crawford's Stere, and he knows how to fix them up to suit the palate of the most fastidious. Besides oysters he keeps anything else you want in the eating line. Mr. T. L. Clark, of Tennessee, for merly of Newberry, S. C., was killed on the 22nd ult., by falling off a wagon loaded with timber, the right hind wheel crushmng his bowels. He was in the 65th year of his age, and respected by all who knew him. THoxrsos, Dentist, Square above Post Omie, 35-tf. TAXEs.-It is absolutely certain that the time for paying taxes wil'i not be extended a single day-it cannot pos sibly be, for the next fiscal year begins November 1st. Therefore pay your taxes before the present month is out and avoid the penalty. POMONA HILL NURSERIES, GREENSBoRo', S. C. J. VAN LINDLEY, Proprietor.. This is to certify that S. H. & J. M. Hampton are regular authorized agents for the above named Nurseries during the Sum mer, Fall and Winter of 1877. All orders taken by them will be filled by my super vision. J. VAN LINDLEY, Oct. 10, 41-4t. Proprietor. MORE OYSTERS.-The inquiry last week-are there any fresh oysters? brings answer from that veteran cater er, L. R. Marshall, who says he will have a supply of Virginia bivalves this week of first water, besides he will have the best fish the Charleston waters af ford. Be ready, oh ye people. One bottle of Thrash's Consumptive Cure and Lung Restorer will convince the most skeptical that it is the only remedy nowv er+ant for consumptive and diseased throat and lungs. Trial, 50c.; large, $1.50. Sold by all Drug gists. For sale by Dr. S. F. Fant. Attention is called to the card of Dr. W. E. Pelham, by which it will be seen that he has removed to the new and elegant store-room in the "Crotwell Block," and that he has added largely to his stock of Drugs, Medicines, &c., all of which he will sell at unprece dentedly low prices.

S. SATTERWHITE. Sept. 1st, 1877-SS-tf. NEW ARRIVAL OF DRESS GOODS AT TiHE ONE PRICE CASH HOUSE OF JONES & SATTERWHITE. We can show you the largest, prettiest stock of Fall and Winter Dress Goods ever offered for sale from any of the Dry Goods counters in Newberry. We have all the new shades and styles Bronze, Navy Blue, Invisible Green, in both solids and' figures. Also, all other popular shades that are out this season. JONES & SATTERWHITE. Oct. 2d, 1877. 40-1m. COOL.-A colored witness in Trial Justice's Carlisle's Court, a few days ago, was giving bond for his appearance to testify in a certain case. The Trial Justice filled out the bond, and after explaining its nature to the witness, re quested him to sign it. Witness replied, "i'll go to h-I on dat." Trial Justice, "You'll go to jail, or pay a fine of $5 for. contempt of court." He paid, and left the office with a new idea of "jestiee." Jlake Four Choice BETWEEN THAT HUSBAND OF MINE, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND OTHER PEOPLES' CHILDREN. For sale at Herald BOOK STORE. Busy.-The long, dull summer has passed, and now instead of standing idly about, leaning against door jambs, lolling on counters or standing on the streets talking politics, merchants, clerks and the rest of mankind in New berry are busy. The streets are full of wagons, stores are full of buyers and an activity in pleasing contrast to the late dullness is seen everywhere. Cotton is coming in. Newberry is the busiest town in the State. Yet some folks are not happy. "THiRTY-FoULR YEARS"-by an ac complished lady of Spartanburg-is a very readable book, and will repay perusal. The story is told in a lively style, and opens in the ante-bellum days of our State. The author's de scriptions are admirable, and her char acters taken from life. The book is full of merit and is written in such a graceful, easy manner that the reader's interest continues through to the end. A few copies of the book are on sale at the Herald Book Store. CONVICTS AT LARGE.-Sixteen peni tentiary convicts have so far escaped from the Greenwood & Augusta R. R. stockade near Greenwood. Peter Wil liams, Press Gray and Newton Renwick are said to be among the number-each sentenced by Judge Mackey at the recent term of Court here to four years in the penitentiary. Some of the colored peo pie say they have seen them in this county, or at least two of them, and a white man says he talked with Newton Renwick. THE SDDIxONS HOUSE.--The "Sim mons House," corner of Nance and Friend Sts., formerly the private resi dence of Mr. John C. Wilson, is assum ing a commanding appearance. It has been made one story higher, and now co?tains nineteen nicely appointed rooms. The dining room is being en larged to hold two tables. This hotel is central, and its proprietor, Mr. Ar thur Simmons, is indeed a hospitable host, whose delicate tact and attention are always exercised for the comfort of his guests. "THE AGER."-Thursday evening, about candle-light, a tall individual stepped into a drug store with his coat collar drawn up to the top of his head and his.hands in his breeches pockets up to the elbows, and went looking around as if hunting for a dose of nux vom ica or, arsenic to kill himself with. "Hello, --, are you going to have a chill?" asked a by-stander. "I've got one now," said he; and walked out again, the sad dest and most forlorn-looking individual it -has ever been our lot to see. SUICIDE.-Mr. Michael Long, living in Edgefield County, about five miles beyond Kinard's Ferry, committed sui cide Thursday morning. He was on his way to Edgefield Court House, and when within two miles of the place stopped on the roadside and cut his throat with his pocket-knife. When found he was not quite dead, and his knife was in his pocket with the blade covered with blood and shut. No cause is assigned for the deed. Mr. Long was a good neighbor, a good farmer and in comfortable circumstances. ANOTHER MOVE.-Keene & Austin, Stove and Tin Dealers, respectfully in form their numerous friends and cus tomers that they have removed to the elegant new store lately erected on the site formerly occupied by R. F. Phifer, and have opened in addition to their stock. a splendid lot of cooking, parlor and office stoves of improved patterns, and at as low prices as any other estab lishment in the country. The general stock of tin and other ware is large, various and excellent, and presents at tractions worthy attention not only in quality but price. Roofing, Guttering, and Repairing generally, done neatly, rapidly, cheaply. Give us a call. ANOTHER RUNAwA.-Thursday af ternoon a team of four large, fine mules while hauling a load of corn took fright and ran. They started in front of the Phifer lot and ran in the direction of the railroad. They turned the first corner to the right and the next corner to left, crossing the bridge over the rail road at full speed. When they got to McKibben Street they turned down that and ran till they got to the front gate of the jail, where they stopped. rThe driver was pitched off headlong on the route, and a little darkey was tum bled off the load of corn-neither was hurt. The wagon and harness being very strong neither was broken. RELIGIOUS.-ReV- R. A. Fair and Jas. M. Baxter. Esq., are delegates from Aveleigh Church to the Presbyte rian Synod which meets in Columbia to-morrow. Rev. H. W. Kuhns and Mr. Fred A. Schumpert went down to St. Mathew's, Orangeburg County, Monday, as dele Igates to the Lutheran Synod. 0. L. ISchumpert, Esq., Mr. U. B. Whites and Prof. Holland are also in attendance. Divine services will not be held at Luther. Chapel next Sunday. The Fourth Quarterly Conference of the Methodist Church was held on Sat TO THE LADIES.-MrS. Sophia Redus respectfully announces to the ladies of Newborry and vicinity that she has in store and is prepared to exhibit the handsomest and best selected stock of millinery and fancy goods ever brought to this place, all of which were selected by herself and with especial view to suit the tastes of her friends and patrons. These goods have been bought at low figures and can be sold at correspond ingly low rates, and it is only necessary to see to be convinced. She is the agent for Frank Leslie's paper patterns, of which a full supply will always be kept on hand. Store room for the pres ent at A. M. Wicker's old stand. PERSONAL.-Rev. F. W. Eason has resigned the Pastorate of the Newberry Baptist Church, and his resignation has been accepted. Maj. J. Stewart, formerly command-1 er of the garrison here, was in town last week. Also Rev. Father Fullerton, of Col umbia. Jas. Y. Culbreath, Esq., has returned from Edgefield where he has been at tending court for two weeks. Mr. P. D. Mazyck has gone to Abbe ville to take charge of the telegraph of fice at that place. Governor Hampton, Judge Cooke and Judge Reed passed up the Rail road yesterday (Monday.) The Gov ernor delivers an address at the Green ville County Fair to-day. THANKS.-Now that the long Sum mer is over and the farmer is realizing some of the fruits of his labor, he is en abled to come to town, sell his cotton and produce, and purchase the articles he has needed for some time, and to pay for the paper he and his family have been reading for months on a credit, which in a majority of cases was unavoidable. Some of them have, during the past week, remembered the claim we had against them, and have come in and settled; for which they have our thanks. We had grown weary of waiting, while bills for paper and labor pressed heavily, but we did not despair; nor do we yet despair that all the many others will do likewise as they sell their cotton, and show their appreciation of the printer who has waited so long, by settling their dues.

J. MCCAUGHRIN, Sup't Cotton Exchange. DAILY MAIL TO LAURENS,--We learn that our energetic Postmaster, Mr. Boone, is making an effort to get a daily mail line established to Laurens, which of course would bring into commnunica tion all the stations and towns between Newberry and that point, and prove of great benefit to the different sections of country along the route. The unfinished portion of the railroad between Clinton and Laurens will soon be completed, when the connection can be made; in the meantime should the Department accede to the proposal of Mr. Boone, Jalapa, Martin's Depot, Kinard's and Clinton will realize the advantages of a dailyicommunication. The present mail arrang ement (three times a week) sub jects business men to great inconve nience. It is to be hoped he will suc ceed. FULL STOc.-Not since the wvar has Newberry been so largely and splen didly stocked with goods as is the case at present. During the last Spring but few goods were bought by our mer chants, and during the Summer coun ters and shelves were allowed to be come empty without any effort on their part to replenish their wasted supplies. In fact there was but little need, the people were not able to buy in most part, and those who were felt that it was best to hold on to what they had economy was the order of the day. This could not last always, however; the current so long dammed up must break loose; and the merchants seeing this have bought largely-larger than ever-and, happily for the buyer, bought cheaply, and accordingly are selling at prices greatly in reduction to last Fall. The display of goods, fancy and staple, never was handsomer. The public will scan the advertising columns of the HERALD and read what the mer chants have to say for themselves.

Every place he wvent where dogs were he had a fight and, it is presumed, bit a good many. The same dog wvas killed in Laurens County at Mr. A. C. Hlollings worth's by Dr. Taylor. Farmers are busily engaged gather ing and housing their corn and picking cotton ; the former crop we are glad to chronicle is good. We have had fine rains, windy and cool weather.

EDITOR :-Below is the first com position of a few year's old little child the daughter of a friend of yours and mine, residing in Columbia-whereto Josh Billings "might just as well to" surrender. Please give it one insertion in the HERALD. S E. THE HORSE. The horse is a very useful animal. The horse ploughs in the field, the horse eats oats, hay and grass. Horses neigh. They are easy to be tamed. Some horses have kind masters and some have mean ones; some horses have long tails and some have short tails; I would not like to be a horse with a short tail for if I was, the flies and gnats would wotry me and I could not reach my tail over my back to brush them off, Then I would have to roll in the dirt to brush them off. If the flies and gnats would go to a horse with a long tail he would brush them away. Then the gnats and flies would go to a horse with a short tail and worry him. THE LEVIATHAN SHOW COMING ON FRIDAY, OCT. 26, INsT.-The Leviathan Exhibition embraces a famous Circus, stupendous Menagerie, colossal Muse um, Aquarium, &c., and a grand con solidated world's wonder exhibition, of which W. W. Cole is sole proprietor and manager. The Mobile Register says: "The wild beasts connected with the show were all first-class. Then the performances of tbe circus ring were most excellent. One rare quality was the promptness, amounting to almost dash, with which everything was put through. There were no long breath ing spells filled in with stale witticisms of the conventional clown. All the acts were just lengthy enough to inter est the spectator, and not to pall the taste. These features are so rare in traveling exhibitions, that we make special commendation of them here. Added to this, we may say that all the performers in the arena are first-class not a poor one in the lot. We heartily commend the exhibition to the favor and attention of the press and public wherever they may chance to pitch their tents." We think the subscribers and sup porters of the Abbeville Press and Ban nr should meet in convention and force the editor to marry somebody. We would then probably have a change in the tone of his local department. Anderso~n Journal. Friend Wilson, the bachelor editor of the Abbeville Press and Banner, on his late visit to our city, received, so we eard, six proposals of marriage and that five other girls sent in their cards. Altough he is a clever gentleman, wve don't believe the report. Is it so, Mr. P. and B. 1-Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer. Hugh Wilson, Esq., of the Press and Banner, gave us a call on Thursday last. The Greenville News says he has matrimonial designs up there. We think his designs in this direction are increased circulation and advertisements for his lively paper.-Ninety-Sir Guar dian. The above paragraphs are samples of the many which are going the rounds of the up-country press in relation to Mr. Hugh Wilson, one of the most prominent bachelors in the middle belt. Something surely must be wrong either with Hugh or the girls. Some strong minded female should sacrifice herself that the country may have peace. Let us have peace. HERALDINGS. FROM HELENA. Postmaster Zobel has removed the P. 0. from the R. R. Car Shops to his store. As he drives a dashing trade from dawn to dark in sundries all save schnapps, the pleasant public will find him a punctual Postmaster alR the day long, even beyond "the village curfe w as it tolls profound." Box rent twenty five cents per quarter. Mr. R. H. Anderson, the Master of the Shops. who was seriously ill of fe ver, is again "out aiid about." The population of Helena, inclusive of colors and classes within the corpo rate limits, is over seven hundred. A Y. M. C. A. is in process of forma tion at this place. - A quarter mile to the west of the vil lae is a colored hamlet called Wrights ville. Some of the cottagers have be coming pride for the little civilities and niceties of life. The ground upon which the work shops are built, together with the out lying park and common, you will re member, Messrs. Editors, was given by Judge O'Neall to tbe G. & C. R. R. Com pany on condition that no intoxicatirg drinks were ever to be sold within the corporation; consequently there are no bar-rooms at Helena. The place was established in 1851, and takes its name from Helen, the beloved wife of the noble-hearted grantor. The lay of the land between New berry and Helena is excellent--the highest altitude in some places between Geenville and Columbia. As the work of building is advancing up and down between these sister villages, they may become united at an early day, as a reat inland emporium-a central city, mid its belt of golden grain an dfleecy fields of cotton, its glowing orchards, vineyards and rich woodland pastures, its quarries of grey granite, its mills and marts, its factories and its fair grounds. Our elder sister, Newberry, occupies a high positiofi for trade, and when, in the near future, she is further built up and intersected by diverging lines of railroad, her churches, colleges and echaols her lihraries. lyceums and lec REFER to advertisement of Good Books for the Farm and Garden, and also to that of the Dispensatory of the United States.

Wanted, news from every section of Newberry County. Who hath big turnips? None have been yet reported. A member of the legal profession caught seven 'possums inside of one week. Master Walter Hunt drives a nice team and is doing a good business dray ing. "Thirty-Four Years," a thrilling story, for sale at the Herald Book Store. Also, "My Mother-in-Law." Broadbrim's inimitable letters alone are worth the price of subscription to the HERALD. Our town doctors stand around on the streets waiting for a call. It is fearfully healthy. Mr. Michael Werts says that his Ba den Prolific Corn made the finest meal he ever saw. An apple tree is blooming for the second time this year in Mr. Willis La throp's yard. Keene & Austin have moved into their new quarters on the corner of Pratt and Caldwell Streets. Mr. J. C. Lane's horse fell with him several days ago and hurt his foot so badly that he now goes on crutches. Messrs. Keene & Austin have secured the contract for putting the tin roof on the college. They will begin work this week. Several additions to the number of students at the Newberry College last week. This is right, give the College a good support. Our people have become so accus tomed to the sound of the saw and the hammer that they can't live without them Strangers visiting here say Newberry is a lively little town. It is lively, but it isn't little. Newberry is the largest town in the State. The Newberry Rifles will contend for the State prize at the Fair. They will also furnish a team for the shoot ing match. The weather last week made the far mers' hearts glad. With a week or two more of the same sort very little cotton will be left in the fields. Capt. Schumpert's Company drilled in Phifer's grove Thursday afternoon. The members and officers handle them selves very well on parade. Strange that out of the number of country wagons, town drays, buggies, etc., on the streets only one runaway occurred last week. Nobody hurt. If you want anything in the station ery line call at the Herald Book Store. Orders for any book not in stock will receive prompt attention when accom panied with the cash. Now is the time to sow oats, barley and rye. Sow enough that your horses and cattle may have sufficient, and a surplus be left to sell to town folks who have no patches. Ladies who h-ave lowered their dress es in the necks as much as the law al lows, are puzzled now that fashion says trains must be still longer. How will the difficulty be overcome. We are pleased to notice that Mrs. Mower is now occupying her elegant, new up-town store-one of the hand somest on the row-into which her large and complete stock of goods has been removed. The- residents on Caldwell Street, be ycnd the creek, are anxious to have their street straightened so that it will run from the front of Mr. Coppock's gate to the market. It would be a great convenience to many citizens, and improve the looks of the town. Our county correspondents went back on us last week-all except our lively local at Pomaria. Perhaps they were too busy getting out cotton. Spur up, gentlemen. Let us hear from you weekly. Your "items" are appreciated by the readers as well as by the editors of the HERALD. PoMAmA LOCALS. Our farmers have commenced gath ering their corn, an excellent crop of which has been made. Among the many accomplishments of our Trial Justice, Thos. W. Hollo way, Esq., must at length be reckoned that of uniting Hymen's worshipers in the bonds of wedlock, he having per formed this service on last Thursday for Mr. Sigismund Ruff and Miss Cally Cloy. L. Bachman Folk, M. D., spent two days last week at this place. He has an~extensive practice in and around Lexington village, the confidence and love of that community, and the physique and bearing of a man that reaps success and is happy. We understand that Capt. E. J. Lake of the Pomaria Rifles has received in structions relative to the vexed questions of irregular attendance, discontinuance and transferring. Come out one and all next Saturday, at 2 P. M., and hear them. We were kindly invited to a Sunday School Celebration at Capt. W. G. Metts' on last Thursday. The exercises began with prayer and singing; then a speech from Prof. Busby; singing; speech from Rev. Mr. Wingard; sing ing; speech from Rev. Mr. Hough; singing; a little social chatting; a table groaning with a great abundance of the very fat of the land; a simultaneous attack along the whole line; the "fusi per herbam," with more social chatting; more singing; and then "homeward bound," at 4 P. M., happy in the con sciousness of a day well spent. Time permits us to say no more but that great credit is due to Rev. Mr. Rough for his eficient labors both as Superintendent of this Sunday School and as teacher in that neighborhood; for in both capacities he has certainly awakened great inter est, as was manifested by the excellence of the children's and assistants' portion of this day's exercises.
