Special and Local. THE Naw PoST kL LAw.-After the 1st of January, 1875, editors have to prepay all the papers from their office. Of course no pub isher can afford to pay postagefor a subscri ber in arrears. We give this timely notice to all delinquents that we will not let their names encumber our books after that period. DxcIsio.i oF TE CouzTs.-Any person who takes a paper regularly from the Post Office-whether directed to his name or ano ther, or whether he subscribed or not-is re sponsible for the pay. If a person orders his paper discontinued he must pay all arrear ages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the offlce or not. The-Courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the Post Office, or removing and leav ing them uncalled foi, is prima facie evidence of Intentional fraud. 44-tf. Communications on subjects of interest to the public are always acceptable. The names of writers, remember, must always aceompa ny a letter to insure its publicaticn. No re sponsibility is assumed for any other views than our own. All single or transient business notices in the local department are inserted at the rate of fifteen cents per line-liberal contracts made for three. six or twelve months. tf. ( TAKE NOTICE.-All parties having Ad minisatrater's or Executor's Notices for publication, will save themselves trouble by coming prepared to pay for the same before insertion, as our terms are cash. Lawyers handing in such notices will be held responsible for the payment. 9-t. They will also be held responsible for the publication of all notices in Bankrupt cases. Transit advertisements of any kind must be paid for in advance, if the parties adver tising do not reside in town. Job work and subscriptions strictly cash. All papers shall be stopped hereafter as Won as the term of subscription expires, un less satisfactory arrangements are made to continue the same. The X mark denotes expiration-after that the paper is discontinued. Bear these things in mind. 3-tf, INDEX TO NEW ADvERTIsEENTs. Thomas J. Lyles-A. Card. T. Kingsford & Son-Starch.

COTrON STAK.-The largest cotton stalk so far brought in for exhibition is from the plantation of Mr. Orlando Dickert, and is about 15 inches high, -with a.number of shapes. Mr. D)ickert lives in the Stone Hills, and the size of the stalk is therefore remarkable. .CHEROKEE SPRINGS.-We are pleased to notice that the proprietor of this de lightful watering place has completed1 his arrangements, and that his house is .niow open for the reception of guests. SThe climate of Cherokee is unsurpassed and the water a fine tonic. Mr. Black, too, has a'deserved reputation as a host. .MUnsIo.-We are pleased to state that Col. Peake will afford such of the citizens of Newberry as desire it with an excursion to Jalapa, on some after noon of the next week, and that due notice will be given of the exact time. It will be a splendid opportunity to take our sister city by storm. Look out Ja lapa._ _ _ WALTHALLA COLLEGE.-From a copy of the Catalogue of Newberry College, Walhalla, we glean that there are one hundred and one students under course of instruction. In the Collegiate De partment 31, and in the Preparatory 70. We are glad to know, as will be all of the friends of the institution, that it is in a flourishing and prosperous con dition. Commencement takes place on the 24th inst. LUTHERANi SYxN.-We learn that at the Newberry Conference of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South Carolina, which met on Friday, 28th of May, at St. John's Chureh, in Lexing ton County, near Pomaria, eleven min isters an~d seventeen delegates were in attendance, and that the attendance of the people of the neighborhood was very good. The next Conference will; be held at St. John's Church, Calk's road, Lexington, Friday, 27th August. KrTroxANri.-The dressing room of our respected townsman, Dr. 0. B. Mayer, was entered on Tuesday eve ning last, and an entire suit of new clothes, which he had but a short while before taken off, carried away by some adroit thief. Some other articles of clothing were also taken. We learn that several other houses have been entered; among the number those of Maj. W. F. Nance anid Mr. Thos. F. Harmon. Keep a good look out for the rogues. GOOD HUNTING GROUND.-We were reminded on Wednesday of the anec dote related of the man who inquired if a certain locality was good hunting -ground, and who, on being told that it was, hunted diligently, but without suc cess. Further information revealed the Pic Nics.-On the 12t1 inst., at Mr. J. P. Buzhardt's, there will be a pic nic pa which promises the most delightful re- an suits. An invitation to attend is appre- se. ciated. ty And again, we are just informed that plf our highly esteemed and amiable friend, th: Miss Mattie Boyd, will give a pic nic on wI Friday before the 3d Sabbath in this esi month, the occasion being the closing gi, chapter in the exercises of her singing of class. That it will be a nice affair we bin need not say, nor that we will try to at- ph tend. Place near New Chapel Church. ca1 dei DEATHS.-This community will be pained to learn that Mr. Jas. B. Cole man, lately resident here, died on Mon- wi day morning about daylight, at the resi- arT dence of Mr. Cal. Suber, near Kinard's. att His disease was typhoid fever. The by deceased was only about nineteen years wa of age, and was esteemed by all who bu( knew him. see Since our last issue, we regret to say, hin Capt. J. F. Speck and family have been we afflicted in the death of the youngest firs member, an infant girl. We tender of the family our sympathies. wal gia To BE AVOIDED.-Every properly and balanced man or woman has a lively bei horror of the promising man. He is few .lways putting somebody out by his Failure to keep his promises. If he ays he will be at a certain place at a mcl given time, or will have a piece of work of t lone, or will pay that little debt, the agr .bances are ninety-nine to a hundred tha hat he will fail. He is an abominable day ,ellow. Young man, just starting out one in life, avoid such a pernicious exam- eac ple. Better i hundred times say no, the you cannot or will not. No one will the hen be disappointed. vite ant GOOD ADVICE.-An old bachelor was the >erheard the other day advising a var 1riend who had not experienced as is a nany years of single misery as himself wil :o marry. "As you value your life," be : iaid he, "marry at once-delay is dan- as r rerous-true happiness can come only be I hrough a wife and a house full of chil- the Iren." Our friend knows, he has weath- sod ,red the storms of life alone, and tho1*h be i ie presents an apparent content, and a ort of rollicking devil-may-care, yet t is not well with him. A wife, a wife, bee ny kingdom for a wife, is his cry. We of ympathize with him and recommend cele W< s friend to take time by the forelock. & C ple: SATISFACTORY.-Mr. Holly. one of ere] >ur meat suppliers, has determined to The nake another and better effort to supply req hie wants of the people of Newberry. and EIe has made such arrangements as will a y nsure a regular and good quality of cop :eef and mutton during the summer dur nonths. Besides this he has made such bes; mprovements in his stall as will please sty] he eye of the customer and give guar- bro mtee that the meat is kept clean. To whi void the swarm of flies which usually the nfest the market he will use covers of she ~aze. We are pleased to notice this nisi ign of improvement for the better, and for eel glad of an opportunity of giving isfa praise when it is due. In addition to al this he has reduced the price of beef. I are A CARD.-We cordially invite at- tice ention to the card of Mr. Thomas J- for Lyles published elsewhere. The nameag s so familiar to the people of the upper not ounties, and especially so well known gen md respected in Newberry, that it is van ;carcely necessary for us to do more loci han to mention the fact that Mr. Lyles or t as been for some time connected as a tior ,artner with the popular Dry Goods to iouse of F. B. Orchard & Co., and has coh aciities at command which it will be hav :o the advantage of his friends and the and ,ublic to consider- our We have on hand for distribution a bec mmber of their Catalogues of the "Do- of nestic" paper fashions, and will be say leased to have oar friends call and get locu :opies- ten HO0GE SCHoo..-The celebration of ~ he Hoge School, in the Court House, ~ >n Tuesday evening, was very credit ble, not only to the pupils but to the ide: principal, E. E. Green. The programmeth of entertainment, necessarily lengthy inhe by reason of the large number of pupils, for was so varied by dialogue, speech and poem, and interspersed with vocal and sta instrumental music, that the time occu--el pied did not seem long. We werees nuch pleased, and especially with the I ocal efforts. The organ was mamupu- fo ated with much spirit and decided mu ical ability by Representative J. D. cal Boston. After the exhibition by the d pupils the audience was addressed by Eon, J. K. Jillson, State Superintend- ulP mnt of Education, and W. H. Thomas. m he Hoge School is in a good condition. tak GIVE THEM A CHANCE.-We notice hia hat in other cities and town, merchants in generally have agreed to close their gi stores at such hours in the afternoon as for will give a needful rest and recreation not to their tired clerks. It is right, too; of the days are long, business is dull and an3 it is harder to drag out a long summer's day in idleness than if there were plenty ' to do. They are completely fagged out -a h by night, and an hour or two given fre them for recreation, before darkness us closes the scene, would greatly benefit Sat them and be no loss to the employer. Ta: We throw out the suggestion in behalf the of the hard working,' long standing, the tired clerks, and trust that our generous Pe and considerate merchants will agree r to close their stores at such an hour in the afternoon as will give them a chance diti to breathe a little fresh air. co eni THE NEWBERRY MARKET.-We are Ye indebted to Mr. J. A. Kinard, t'he en- ton ergetic and very efficient Shipping to : Clerk at the Newberry Depot, for the us. following interesting statistics in regard bo to our cotton market. The number of of: bales shipped from the 1st of Sept., a 1874, to 1st of June of this year, is 24,- str 647.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. The local is very short of items this week. His new patent itemizer don't work worth a cent. Spring chickens are coming in-the t sound of their tender cry lifts a burden from us. Bring in plenty of them. Tobacco and Segars for the million, r are to be found at J. B. Leonard & Co.'s wholesale and retail store. The rink is the centre of attraction. There will be another tournament ere long. The boys are now practicing. Col. Peake is getting so far away on towards the city of Laurens, that we seldom see him in our sanctum. Chicken cholera is prevailing to a considerable extent in some parts of the County. About Beth Eden it is very bad. Tillman & Dawkins offer to shave clean, cut neatly and give polite atten tion. A volume could not be more ex pressive. Jalapa, Martin's Depot, and other cities along the line, will contribute a few goats for a Laurens Rail Road bar becue in a short time. - A small collection will be taken up on the 10th by Prof. Bond, in consider ation for which he will walk on a tight wire. The amount of money spent by A. T. Stewart & Co., of New York, last year for advertising, was $800,000. Newberry can't see that. Remembsr that the Auditor has given notice that he will be in his office from the 1st of June to the 20th of July, to receive returns of taxable property. It is said there were no less than thir ty-one babies at the late Conference Meeting held at Tabernacle Church. There was some crying. Capt. Froneberger, of Charleston, has been in town for several days. His samples are of clothing. He is a clever gentleman and his goods give satisfac tion. The blackberry crop will be short if we don't have rain, and loafers will be put to their trumps. What will they do if the crop fails? N. B.-It has since rained. Baltimore Corner is all right now, and is no longer for sale or rent. The old favorite is again in place, and souls are made happy for small considerations in cash. Only a few persons wera in town on Sale-day, farmers sensibly remaining at home attending to their work. Some old furniture and books were sold, also a lot of notes and accounts. The driverless mules and wagon which passed Blease's down town store on Friday, did not make much of a run. Baird, with a barrel stave, brought the affair to a stand. -If it were not for invidious remarks we would repeat that all kinds of Job work can be executed at the HER~ALD office, cheap for cash. Still there is no harm in asking merchants to try us. Ed, Chalmers, a worthy colored man, was waylaid on last Thursday night, in the Gist settlement, and shot by a col ored friend anderother-=wound in arm and side. No previous difficulty. Rosin the bow is no longer played on the Laurens mail rider's horn. We are unable to tell the name'of the tune sub stituted. It is something new. The horn will be for sale when the Rail Road is completed to Laurens. Col. Peake may buy it for a smoke stack for one of his engines--with a few additions- it might serve a good pur pose. The pic nic of the season will be given on the 12th, at Mr. J. P. Buzhardt's. There will be a large turn out of youth and beauty, and an elegant and sump tuous spreaid of dainties and sub.stan tials. VL .y sorry that we cannot at tend. Our four mile house friend, Maj. Ki .nard, says he is now literally revelling in the fruits of his garden, and of all the vegetables grown there is none so graciously plentiful as frying chickens. Goodness gracious, wouldn't we like to be there, to get into such a mess.

NEWsPAPER ADVERISNG.-News paper advertising is now recognized, by busines men having faith in their Newspaper advertising is the most r energetic and vigilant of salesmen; ad dressing thousands each day, always in the advertiser's interest, and ceaselessly at work seeking customers from all classes. Newspaper advertising promote s trade, for even in the dullest time ad vertisers secure by far the largest share of what is being done. r While the advertiser eats and sleeps, > printers, steam engines and printing presses are at work for him, trains bear ing his words to thousands of towns, and hundreds of thousands of readers, 'all glancing with more or less interest at the messages prepared for them in tho solitude of his office. No preacher ever spoke to so large an audience, or with so little effort, or so eloquently, as you may do with the newspaper man's assistance. Catalogues of the Books published by the Methodist Book House, at Nash ville, can be seen at the HERALD Bbok Store, and any selection made there from will be ordered with promptness.

A Parthian Shaft.-Cook-"Now, I'm leavin' of yer, m'um, I may as well tell yer as the key of the kitchen door fits your storeroom!" It was a pretty conceit of a father whose name was Rose, and who named his daughter "Wild." But the romance of the thing was badly spoiled when she grew up and married a man by the name of Bull. "Lord, make us truly thankful of what we are about to receive-these biscuits ain't fitten for a dog to eat," is the way a certain Monroe (La.) man asks a blessing. "I say, Pat, what are you about sweeping out the room?" "No," an. swers Pat, "I am sweeping out the dirt and leaving the room." "Stay," he said, .with his right arm around her waist, and her face expect antly turned to him, "shall it be the kiss pathetic, sympathetic, graphic, oriental, intellectual, paroxysmal, quick and dismal, slow and unctious, long and tedious, devotional, or what?" She said perhaps that would be the better way.
