The: poverty of onj people is a strQng argumetit to induce them to husband their resources to make provision for the necessities of their wives and chil dren, and by no means can one so effectually make the provision as by a policy of life insurance in a strong and reliable and wel tested company. Such a company we have in thp Piedmont and Arliagton. It has con. ducted its business in tbis State for nine years, and secured a larger business than any ,other company in the South. It meets its claims promptly; it invests its assets in sound securities; and altogether conducts its busi ness upon plans ascertained by long expe rience to be sound and equitable.

ARmVED.-Coming events cast their shadows before, and the arrival' of the diminutive Phseton, Shetland ponies of the smallest kind and the pigoy driver, who like the ponies is as black as Ethiop, give earnest that the General and followers are on the way. The in voice mentioned above have just rolled in as we prepare for press. The entire turnout is a perfect curiosity-and can be seen at Pool's Stable. The Rev. H. W. Kuhns, we are in formed, will return home this week, and will therefore preach in the Lu theran Charch en next Sabbath. Mr. Foster Blodgett, who was recent ly arrested while passing through Geor gia, was released on bail and returned home to Newberry on Saturday last. He left again on Monday. Let every farmer read the advertise ment in this paper of "Chufas and Japan Peas." If one-halfthat is claimed for these crops by the best authorities be true, they are indeed a god-send to the South. 16-1m. Dr. Barre, formerly of Newberry, 'we learn from Our Monthly, Clinton, has located in that town and has taken charge of the new drug store. The people of Clinton wi,11'find him one of the best druggists that the country af fords. GEN. THUMB, Lady and Suite hold grand levees on Wednesday afternoon 'and evening, at Temperance Hall. This is the first visit of these distin .gnished little people-to Newberry, and of course everybody will go to see themk . .. _ _ S-rArT.wm.-Mr. John A, Kinard, ~shipping agent, informs us that thirty five hundred bushels of corn were re ceived at the depot on last Saturday. We trust that no such report will have to be made after the crop now planted is heard.from. NOTICE.-The Treasurer, Capt. J. C. Smith, informs delinquent Tax Payers that his books are now open for the pay ment of unpaid taxes with the 20 per cent. penalty attached. Parties inter ested will do well to attend to this at -once. 1t A meeting was held in Temperance Hall on Monday night, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Young Men's Christian Association, which will be held in Columbia on Wednesday. Messrs. R. Y. Leavell, T. S. Moorman and G. M, Girardeau, were appointed. Prc Nic.-The. Hook and Ladder Company will give a Pie Nic on the 12th of May, and propose to have a good time, and we have no doubt they will, for whatever they undertake to do they generally accomplish successfully. For an invitation to attend our thanks are given. NEGRO KToLE.-On Friday night last, near Gibson's Store, in this Coun ty, two negroes had an altercation, the result of which was that one of them, Henry Chambers, was found dead in the road on Saturday morning. The supposition is that his death was caused by a blow from a pine club. The name of the other has not~ been learned. TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE. Henry Stone to Geo. Levingston, 84 acres, $800. Young John Pope to Eugenia Young, 800) acres, $1,000. John Riser to Lillia Mary Riser, 20 acres, $1. S. C. Hargrove to T. W. Abrams, 151 3-4 acres, $1,200. THANS.-Our good friend, Mr. Jos. Brown, will accept thanks for several cakes of Passover bread, together with some goodies made of the same m'at3 -rial, nicely sweetened and seasoned. We have been at a loss to account for the reason that he is always in such good humor, and now come to the be lief that good cooking is the cause. A loaf of capital rye bread also found its way to our table from the same abun dant source. Thanks, thanks. NEITHER OF Us.-The Plain Colonel who runs the Law mill on Mollohon Row, and ourself both missed getting the first shave at the new Tonsorial Sa. loon of Dawkins' on Wednesday morn -n.W eeechotbih n earl.

Coke Smith of the Washington Street Church, Columbia, who is on a brief respite from labor on account of indisposition. We trist he may soon be restored to full healt4g. Capt. Coles returned from his visit to Georgia during the past week, looking in vigorous health and prepared to buy uip any number of bales of cotton. STEALING.--On Friday night last, the store house of Mr. S. C. Merchant, liv ing about one mile above Helena, was broken into~and robbed of a quantity of meat and other provisions. In view of the hard times and scarcity, it is par ticularly aggravating to be raided on by worthless rascals who only live by what they can steal. We trust that Mr. M. will be able to find -the thieves And have the satisfaction of seeing jus tice done them. A man has been sentenced to a month's imprisonment at hard labor, in Enniskillen, Ireland, for stealing sticks valued at one penny from Lord Bel more's estate. It don't go so hard with offenders on this side of the water. As an instance -a negro man lately broke into a house and stole provisions to the amount of about twenty-seven dollars, and got off with a fine of $8. THE LAURENS R. R.-We learn with pleasure that the work on this road will soon be recommenced and pushed to completion. Active operations it is thought will commence this week. The President-has means on hand sufficient to carry it' to Milam's branch, and by that time there will be enough collect ed to carry the road through to its ter mination. Our old and esteemed friend, Col. Peake, is-once more in his glory and we congratulate him and his able force. Doctors are guessers. If they guess right, you are all right-provided you pay the bill. If they guess wrong, you go to the grave yard-ther go to their dinner. MERRELL'S HEPATINE has cured more cases of liver dii ease, indigestion, constipation and dyspepsia than all the doctors and pills in the world combined. Ask your druggist, Dr. S. F. Fant, about this nedicine-HEPATINE. Each bottle contains fifty doses, and will cure any case of liver complaint in the world. 16-5t. - YOUNG MEN'S DEMOCRATIC CLUB. A number of young men met on Mon slay night for the purpose of forming themselves into a Democratic Club, and appointed Mr. S. B. Fowles, Chairman. After various expressions of views it was determined to meet on next Satur day evening for regular organization, Messrs. Ward Simm'ons, J. R. David son and J. S. Fair were appointed a committee to make arrangements for said meeting. This Club is not to be in conflict with the regular organization of this Township, but rather auxiliary to it. - Dr. Bull's Vegetable Pills for the cure of Liver Cotoplaint, Biiious Affections, Hiead ache, and especially Sick Headache, Pain in the Side, Stomach, Back or Intestines, Sick Stomach. Giddiness, Dimness of Sight, Weak Nerves, Loss of Appetite. Costiveness, Dvspepsia, Derangement of the Kidneys, and al delicate Female Complaints. For sale by all druggists at 25 cts. a box. Messrs. McCreery, Love & Co., con tinue their cheering announcement of cheap dry goods, and it may be that some of the readers of the HERAL.D haVe not yet seen their card, but this is not very probable, for it is the fashion now to read the advertisements if they is no time to read anything else in the papers, a fashion rendered absolutely necessary by the tight times and the public anxiety to find out who has the cheapsst goods and the greatest variety. As these gentlemen mean what they say, and their advertisement is printed, that kl may be seen and read, attention is again called to it. 1t. THE China, Glass and Crockery Store of Messrs. Kingsland & Heath, of Col umbia, is~in keeping with the times goods at prices cheaper than ever be fore, and now is-the time for the thrifty housekeeper to lay in her stock of such things as are indispensable for use. Their stoc~k is kept full of everything in their varied line, and every novelty is added as fast as it comes out and is proved worthy of being offered to the public. Orders aecompanied with cash promptly attended to, and visitors to the city cordially invited to call in and examine. Store under Columbia Ho tel. i 6-tf. The rather unusual appearance on our streets a few days ago of .a sturdy, chunky, and apparently half-grown bo vine attracted no little attention. Alas! that one little animal should so excite the people. Men and boys rushed out. and with hungry eyes devoured it in imagination, because they knew it wa destined for the shambles, and in the morning would be hung up in one of the many stalls of the market for sale. It was difficult to discover whether it was of full age and stunted in growth, or young and of rapid development, and it mattered little, for it seemed to be in fair order, The last thought as Newberry retired to bed that night was the hope of an early waking in the morning. "Wake me early, mother," was the general sentiment, that a choice cut might be had. The thought of miss ing the chanee kept us in a restless con dition through the night, and the conse quence was that when sleep did come we were only waked too late by a dream of being chased by a score or more of poor cows, which were trying to escape from the knife of the butcher to the other side of the Saluida river, and reached the market in time to find a few bonce th on.ly parts left of that rdelicious DEATIIS.-Jas. S.. B. Boozer, a ne phew of Mr. J. C. Wilson, died. at the! residence of the latter, on Tuesday last. The deceased had been sick for some time. He was buried at Smyrna Church. Mrs. Julia Ann Milligan, wife of Mr. Edward Milligan, residing at Helena, died on Tuesday last, after a long and severe illness which she bore with pa tience. The deceased was in her 59th year of age, and was a native of Lau rers County, and had been married 37 vears. She has left a husband and two sons to mourn a loss which to her is eternal gain. The Scriptures say that Naaman would not believe when told that to be cured of leprosy, he had only to bathe in the river Jordan. His unbelief brought days of suffering upon him, as it does upon those who delay taking MERRELL'8 HEPATINE for the Liver, When the skin and eves become yellow in the spring season, with pain in the head and bones of the body, and a heavy feeling about the stomach after meals, there is but one chance to escape. Sickness of some sort is sure to come, unless the bile and bad blood is carried out of the system. Go to your drug. gist, Dr. S. F. Fant, and get a bottle of MEE RELL'S HEPATINE, that cares all diseases of the liver. 16-5t. CLOTHING AT COST AN? UNDER. Bargains to be had right at your own doors without any trouble. All you have to do is to go to Messrs. Wright & Cop pock's with a small amount of cash. These gentlemen offer goods carried over from last Summer at cost and un der. Their stock, too, of freshly arrived goods is complete and attractive not only in style and quality but in prices. The long established reputation of this house is sufficient guarantee that what these gentlemen say may be relied on. At Cost and under for cash is without a doubt just what it reads and nothing less. The reader is advised to SUIT himself now without delay. TO THE GENTLEMEN.-The popular clothing and outfitting establishment of Messrs. R. & W. C. Swaffield, of Col umbia, is once more. brought before the public and especially of Newberry, in an attractive and interesting card in this issue. The Spring and Summer stock of clothing for gents' and youth is large and well selected, and offered in accordafice with the prevailing cus tom at extraordinary low prices. Messrs. Swaffield, father and son, are so well known to our readers that it is unneces sary for us to say more in their behalf, than to call attention to the advertise ment. We take pleasure in adding that Maj. Beck, who holds a large place in the public esteem, still presides in this establishmen t. LN THE WRONG PEw.-Formerly there was but one open door between Chick's corner and O'Neill's, and that was the Post office, and all that people in quest of mail matter had to do was to follow their nose and go in at that open ing. Lately, however, there has been improvement-another door stands in vitingly open and this leads to the new barber shop, so it won't do now to fol low the leading of one's nose, you must use the eye as well. Tobe, the proprie tor of the latter establishment, is sore on the subject, and hopes that no one in future will rush into his place for the Post office and attempt to insert their box keys into the openings on his face. There is no look of patent brass loc}t box about him. See the striped pole outside and enter at the next door. PROF. DENCK'S SOIREE.-Owing to the fact that several societies had their meeting on the night of- the perform ance, but few enjoyed this delightful entertainment; the appreciation of the audience, however, .was in the inverse ratio of their numbers; not a whisper was heard when the Professor presented to us in turn with masterly skill the Coryphees of modern piano music; his own improvisations, with which the compositions of others were interspersed, wete not the least charming pieces of the programme. We hope that the Professor may be induced to give us in the near future another of those classical soirees, when the selection of the time may be more fortunate. If the friends of good music would combine for that purpose, we might revive that culti vated artistic taste for which Newberry was famous in days of yore. A TOWNSHIP MEETING.-LaSt week when we were taking our first Spring walk, we saw just on the outskirts of the town about fifty crows, all perched' on the same tree seemingly in lively conversation; they were evidently in council assembled. From the locality, we could not be mistaken it was their township meeting, for what purpose called we could not determine, possibly for the organization of a board of edu cation to teach the young crows oratory and honesty. We were very much struck ~with the order and good feeling which seemed to prevail. It must be confessed they made very short speeches, so that it appeared sometimes as if a good many were talking together; but then they are doubtless able to express their ideas more concisely than we can. They were animated but never angry; not a harsh word was spoken; we saw no violent gestured; we are certain we heard no cursing. One of them perched on top acted evidently as chairman; he cawed no louder than the rest, and everybody seemed to take it for granted that they had to obey him without his continually calling them to order. Af ter they got thi-ough with their deliber ations, a motion to adjourn was unani mously carried, for they all took wing at once and n)eannfLally flew off to attend! A WAIL comes up from the Cannon' Creek Grange section, that in the inten sity of their ambition to plant ever available foot of ground in corn, th, farmers have sprouted up the ver blackberry bushes which grew on ditel sides and in fence corners, and as a con sequence there will be a lamentable fal off in that great life sustaining crop. Thi is indeed a gloomy picture, but it ha notwithstanding a silver lining; througl the rift of the dark cloud we see th, shining corn, almost hear the wavin, tassels and see the heavy ears hangin( from the stalk. The blackberry seasoi is brief in duration, and Cannon Grangi can surely gird up its loins and wai till roasting ears come in. Don't de spair, good folks. If the supply ba been cut off to afford greater room fo cotton it would have been sad indeed but it is just the reverse as regards corn We feel like rejoicing-a better time i coming at last. Wipe away your tears friends. NEWBERRY COUNTY DEMOCRAT1 CONVENTION met pursuant to adjourn ment, on the 17th inst. After prelimi nary matters the following were electe< permanent officers of the Convention: J. N. Lipscomb, President; Jno. R Spearman, 1st Vice-President; Dr. Jas MeInosh, 2nd Vice-President; T. S Moorman, Secretary; J. F. J. Cald well, Corresponding Secretary; T. W Holloway, Treasurer. Executive Committee-Y. J. Pope Chairman, T. W. Holloway, E. S. Keitt T. J. Lipscomb, J. S. Hair. Delegates elected to the State Con vention-J. N. Lipscomb, E. S. Keitt J. S. Hair. Y. J. Pope, T. W. Hollo way, Joseph Caldwell. The late hour at which the Conven tion adjourned, and the voluminou. character of the minutes, prevented th4 Secretary from preparing a copy i time for publication in this issue of tb HERALD. They shall appear in full i next week's paper. This meeting was one of the larges and most satisfactory which has ye1 been held, and this fact gives proof tha the citizens of Newberry.are fully alivf to the duty which the times demand and that they are prepared and deter mined to do what can be done in thq formation of a better government. Every township was not only repre sented, bu.t fully represented, and thi deliberations of this respectable and in fluential body were marked by. earnes unanimity of feeling. GLOBE FLOWER COUGH SYRUr cure cough., coldi, and will positively cure con smption. For sale by Dr. S. F. Fant. 16-5t ABOUT THE TOWN AND COUNY. Weather-Spring lapsed into Winter Items'come in slowly-and in conse quence our task is a pretty hard one 'Come over and help ns" or send n; some news. ~Perhaps of the reasons why our friend are so reticent is that they are hard a work planting corn. If so theyare for given. Plant corn and you will be able tF pay a year's subscription to the HERALI without feeling it. Make corn and you will have mone: in your pocket next Christmas. One sensible farmer reports that hi is determined to raise enough for hi own use and have some to spare. Hi is a sensible man. A good lady friend tells us that shi had no Easter eggs last Sunday for thi children-because the rabbits in he section missed the time by laying then one week in advance. The people il that part of the country sho~uld suppl: their rabbits with the HERALD-so as ti keep them posted. There are no buckshots in the whol town of Newb'erry. One was needei the other day to weight a minnow lin' and it could not be found. Just sup pose now a wild bear or wolf or som' other kind of animal should invade th town what would become of it. As this is cotton planting time w! inform plantists that an ounce of mul weighs more than a pound of any othe animal-particularly about the heels There is no danger when they are plant ig corn. Amid the cares and perplexities 0 life there are few things that will mak' a man carry his head so straight as tF have a ragged neck-binding on his shirt with plenty of starch on it well irone4 Some peopli are afraid they won' have anything to eat after awhile. WA )id them think of the blackberry crop the roasting ears, the green apples an< watermelons. Never say die. There' life in the old land yet, if cotton is no made the first consideration. A few newvspaper accounts aro beins sent out in the HERALD, and we trus they will be responded to favorably. A paper cannot be printed without a littli money. W. H. Dickert has started his Sods Fountain, a proof that warm weather i at hand. A drink of iced soda is a lux ury.. Garclgning has commenced in earn est, and there is a hope of new vegeta bles at no distant day. Strawberrie are in bloom, and we may look for Dr N. soon. Mr. Edward Scholtz has received: small stock of popular jewelry which h< will dispose of cheaply. Newberry boasts of a youth not ye in his teens who would put to shami one twice his ears in the amount C 3 Anything to help the fa-rners: - "He who by farming would grow rich, 7 Must dig, and sow, and plant and sich; a Work all day, and sleep all nite, 7 Save every cent, and not git tite." I In these dull times it is well to econ - omize in every way, and some sharp 1 editor has discovered that travelling on 3 a fast railroad train will make what 3 you eat go a deal farther in a given ' length of time. A cooking stove was sold in this town on Wednesday morning last before breakfast. This shows that there is some trade floating about. The man who sold it is happy now in the idea that he can visit the Centennial. The new Tonsorial Saloon of Tobias Dawkins looks as neat and clean as a hew pin, and the professor's razors keen as the North wind. It is a pleasure to announce that Mr. Foot has on hand another lot of th9se very fine mackerel so much in demand. Good Friday was observed in the Methodist Church, and an appropriate sermon delivered by the pastor, the Rev. C. H. Pritchard. The congrega tion embraced members from the va rious denominations of the town. Remember the game law, ye sports men-it went into effect on the 15th. A small April shower fell on Thurs day afternoon last, and heavier ones subsequently. Don't fail to go and see Tom Thumb and wife, the fascinating Miss Minnie Warren and the irrepressible Major Newell. The best of goods are put up in small parcels. The Progressive Age call's for a loaf er's bench-if the Council is. agreeable let them make it long, and erect it some where in the suburbs. The Age corrects our assertion that no lady has yet taken advantage of the leap year privilege, by saying that a clerk on Mollohon Row has been called on by a single lady. The question is did she propose-and what came of it? If cotton raising benefitted the plan ter we should not utter a word against it-cotton brokers and speculators are the men who make the money-not the planters. Of course we don't mean to say plant no cotton at all, but let that be the extra crop after enough of other things are made to support the farm. If but one bale is then made, the price of it can be kept in pocket. Don't insult a poor man, his muscles may be well dereloped. SMajor Baxter has some of the finest looking milch cows that we have ever 'seen in this section, and patches of green-including a luxuriant lot in clo ver-which not only keeps his cattle in good humor and flesh, but affords pleas -ure to all beholders. Coming from the Cemetery on Sun Sday afternoon last, we saw a young friend sitting on the top rail of a hog pen. Inside were several fine pigs, and as the young man seemed lost in -thought, we concluded that he was making calculation as to the probable > amount of sausage would fall to his > share next killing time.

Un6tted for the active pur suits of life, and incapable of partakin<r of its I pleasures, to which health alone can give a zest; disinclined to social intercourse, and a prey to melancholy, the valetudinarian is in t deed an object of pit.y. Yet there is nothing in all this that can ;fbt be remedied, by that a genial alterative tonic and nervine, Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters. which supplies deti .cient, stamina, braces the nervous system, IandI overcomes those bodily irregularities to Swhich nervous weakness is most frequently attributable. Diseases of the kidney and b bladder, imperfect digestion and uterine troubles are fertile sources of debility. Their eradication, however, becomes a matter of r certainty when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are systematically used for that purpose. The Bitters likewise annihilate and prevent Lfever and agne and other debilitating febrile Scomplaints of a malarial nature. 14-4t. Commercial.
