Time to Stop. It's too bad, Sir or Madam, but don't get frightened. Your hair is falling off-that's certain. A glance in the mirror, or an investigating committee of fingers tell the dismal story. We won't discuss the possible cause. It is enough that Parker's Hair Balsam used now will prevent further de struction. Is your hair somewhat gray too, and crisp? Alas, yes. The Balsam will give back the original color, softness and gloss. Not a dye, not oily, elegantly perfumed, a perfect dressing. Feb. 1-Im. One Hundred. The rapid and large increase of pu pils in the Academy of Capt. Pifer must be gratifying to the accom plished Principal, and to the Board of Trustees. We learn that the number now exceeds one hundred, and this in crease is evidence of two things, first the esteem in which as a teacher the Capt. is held, and secondly a larger and deeper interest in the cause of educa tioni. The training and education of our girls cannot be too highly con sidered. Capt. Pifer is worthy the confidence shown him, and we have. just cause for pride when~ we look at the fine and large school now in such successful operation. A CHEROKEE REMEDY. WHAT A PROMIN~ENT DRUGGIST SAYs.-T. F. Fleming, of Augusta, Ga., writes: "When I first heard of your 'Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein' I thought I would order a doz en. In less than a week I ordered a gross, anditu less than seven weeks, as your books will show, had ordered seven gross. I only mention to you this fact to show how it sells in this city. As a Cough remedy I have never seen its equal. One bottle sold makes a customer of it."

R. was nearing a sharp curve on the road between Chappell's and galudg a man was discovered on the track. The train was tob near to be stoppedl in time, and the man made no effort to leave the track or get out of the way. As a consequence he was killed instantly. One who saw him afterward says the body looked as if every bone in it had been broken. He was a tramp who had bben about town here Saturday and gave his name as Hayes, said he was from Georgia, and had walked all the way to Columbia, S. C. to see a Penitentiary. He had always wanted to see one before he died. He was evidently a crank, his actions here so impressed every 'one. ge alho said he yes goifg to the next Ed Greneker and his Velos. On Saturday afternoon, the week's work done, jobs all distributed, proofs of next week's work taken, sticks laid on their stands, hands paid off, Ed said, "pa, ia belie-e I will wcheel it out to Mr. Sligh's." Such a proposition startled us, we thought it impracticable, but not so, Ed, he is made up of the stuff which knows no fail ; he bade us good bye and started. We expected to spe him back again ipi sgme guod map1s 1uerf wvith the wvrec1t of his machine pacetle in the bottoum. Our fears were groundless, He returned Sunday after noon, right side up with care, having made the distance, seven miles, in one hour and a half's time. When the condition of the roads are considered, and the time taken in walking over bad ploes, we think that he made good time. This is the first trIp of that distance ever made by an amateur bicyclist in Newberry, and we consid er it worthy of mentioa. PQST OFFICE, nwBERRJ. C.EI., S. C., .Feb.9tb, 18S4.

Our Prosperity friends and readers are under the impression that we have with drawn the proposition to furnish the HERALD to clubs of twenty at $1,50 each. We make this explanation : For vears this club has existed, but latterly has been allowed to grow into disuse. A short time ago we renewed it by notifying our agent, Mr. Bowers, to give written notice at his office to that effect. For reasons we care not to ex plain we withdrelv the proposition, and Mr. Bowers acted in accordance with o,ir instruction-the club was stopped. Since then we have had rea son to again give our friends the priv ilege of this favorable rate. The club now exists and has been running for a week or two, but with fhis additional advantage; that instead of requiring a club to consist of twenty names, it can be made of fire names onj. This is an easier way of accomplishing the end, and better for subscribers. And further the getter up of a club will be given an elegant gilt edged copy of either of the books here named: Heman's. Byron, Cowper, Milton, Moore, Hood, Scott, Wordsworth & Tennyson, Ladies' Book .of Flowers, Gentlemen's Guide to Politeness, Polite Correspondence, Poetry of Flowers, Fairy Land, Sut Lovin good, Guy Mainering, Rhymes & Puzzles, Children of the Abbey, Don Quixotte, Robinson Crusoe. &c., &c. And further, this club rate is not offered simply to our friends at Pros perity, but to every man or woman in the county, and out of the county, every one, no matter where, can enter the lists and secure a most beautiful book at a very little trouble, and no expense. This, explanation is due to our friends through the county,and wetrust that the friendly intercourse which has existed between us and them for twenty-five years may continue with out interruption. The Books enumerated above can be seen at the HERALD Book Store. 3t. It only cost about $35 or 40 to get a Tavlor & Cox Fire Extinguisher. from C. E. Horton at Williamston, S. C.

On Monday night was a perfect suc cess, thanks to the boys who managed it. "Faint heart never yet won fair lady," and if their hearts were faint on taking hold of the Wizard Enter tainment no sign of faintness was seen. They took hold of it with a vim and an energy which carried it right straight through, and a lesson might here be learned while will prove of future ben efit. We have a pretty opera house, and capable of seating just such a crowd as was induced to enter it Monday night, and we cannot see the reason why it is not oftener so filled, unless it is that the proper efforts are not made. Over five hun dred persons enjoyed the treat fir nished them this time, and the ex pression of opinion is universal that never before was such a splendid en tertainment afforded. We regret that this versatile and talented troupe see reason to change their base and leave us, and we sincerely hope that New berry will be in their rounds once again. The concert was indeed the best ever rendered in Newberry, and the gentlemen making up this troupe are generally and individually artists in instrumental and vocal music. Mr. Burt in his character impersona tion, particularly as Aunt Betsy was "bconsoling" to us- he or she hoped to to be to "Miss Cornelia.'? As Farmer Magee he is unapproachable and laugh ter exefting. Childs in his character songs, as were all the others, displayed equal talent and vocal power. We have never heard "Rocked in the cradle of the deep" so well rendered as on this occasion. Take this con cert in its entirety we were never bet ter pleased, and we do hope that it will be repeated in the near future. A Pleasant Voice. From Newton, N. C. Mr. G-o. E. Coulter writes from Newton, N. C., that "I cannot do without your valuable old paper, the HERALD, and enclosed yott have the cash to move it on in this direction. Neither I nor any member of my fain ily can do without it. It is invaluable, and ianproves like old wine with in crease of years. Long may it wave, and long may I be in the condition to do what an editor delights in-pay up my subscription. "If father and mo ther and all should be mad, just whistle and I will come to you my lad"-in other wordz, most highly esteemed, "whistle" when my term expirez, and I'll respond, and not do as many of the great unwashed throng do, let you whistle for it. I see that the Wizzard oil troupe are gladdening the people of Newberry, and taking out the kinks made by old age and infirmities. It is a splendid combination. Their con certs are tip top. I hope to see them agaii. Newton is a trifle dull by reason of a short cotton crop, but we had a good wheat crop. Cotton rates from from 91 to 93, fine family flour e4,80 per bbl., and other things in like proportion.

As usual in this old and practi cal farm journal, the reports of pro gressive farmers' clubs are a conspic uous part of its contents, and the ex periences of skillful and successful ag riculturists are thus passed around to thousands of readers. The subject of fertilizers and manures is also a con spicuous topic, as are live stock, the dairy, fruit-growing, poultry raising, bee-keeping. etc. An attractive por tion of the paper is the Home Depart ment, in which the ladies of the farm household always find something pleas ing and instructive. A new contribution to the Farmer is announced in this number, Dr. B. Pur year, Professor of Chemistry in the Richmond, Va., College, one of the most lucid and practical writers on agricultural topics in the South, who begins a series of articles on topics of every day interest, and with the ap lication thereto of scientific principles. Another dlistinguished writer is the associate editor, Dr. Thos. Pollard, ex commissioner of Agriculture of Vir ginia, who in this number treats on commercial fertilizers. The Farmer is published twice a month, by Sam'l Sands & Son, Balti more, at $1,50 a year or $1 to clubs of fife or more. Reading Notice.
