HARMON'S STORE RAIDED! g NEWBERRY HERALD LOSES - DOLLARS. th ie it Our brain is in a whill, andi as we of write a headache "fit to kill" almost re ks the roof from off our head; but T .- we would be a faithless chronicler of Is s , the times did we not at least attempt a ' I description of the scenes enacted in the usually quiet town of Newberry last to in week. We will make the effort, how L ever, if an ignomintous failure is the It d result, for ninety-nine and a half per a cent. of the citizens of the town, to- W gether with many from the country,W n, have intimated that they expect a huge e- local. Beset on every hand with re quests, advice and special points in the m case, it is impossible to resist, and if we >y do not survive the pressure and the a- effort to write we bequeath the HERALD wo 1and its debts to the many ambitious a- friends who have long desired to run t. the paper-for the millions in it. It be at gan on Wednesday in this wise: C a Harmon in a fit-of inspiration- Cc to hung out a pair of his breeches, with s the price marked so low down that any di man could give his bottom dollar for P1 i them. An impecunious fellow tooks the bait-that is, the pantaloons-and ro & rushing out in his excitement ran pell- e a mell into a crowd on Mollohon Row, innoculating them in turn. These rushed a across the street, and others at a dis rt tance thinking there was a dog fight; fai that another nigger had been killed, (Suber); or that a third attempt had been made to get Tarrant's bacon, struck t a bee-line for the scene of excitement. s By this time Harmon had hung on the an e outer wall a pair of ten dollar boots' e marked down to five. This added fuel tel n to the fire of excitement, and an India cli rubber overcoat and head-gear, flung to - the breeze by Griffin, at an infinitesimal H price, knocked the bottom out of every thing and everybody. At one time it was feared nothing would satisfy thetO w crowd but the bringing out of the Hook n and Ladder truck, the prevailing idea 0 is being that somebody or something h at else had caught fire by spontaneous >r combustion. But a change came over t ie the spirit of the dream when the wo- thi Ld men, hearing that something unusual hi: ie was transpiring at Harmon's, came up aon the scene; their presence had a sooth- m it ing effect in dissipating the idea of fire p .1. -Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was n nothing compared to it. Their coming, re too, had a wonderful effect on the prin- ~ cipal actor-he saw that he had a good t ~ thing and embraced the opportunity of s e selling out. t Things got lively in a hurry. Prices Sfell as fast as the flakes during the last w~ e memorable snow storm, while the ex-n ~citement rose and the crowd swelled e bigger. Little and big niggers now rcame in; there was not room outsideb t; the conuters, so the insides were in-h .vaded; clerks were hustled about, ~ s- and prices set by purchasers; money to le changed hands, goods disappeared; P~ - "now you see it and now you don't see Iit ;" while above all sounded a confusion th worse confounded of tongues, rising up, c up into our sanctum, fairly driving the c printers into phrenzy-because they hadm le no money to take a hand in it them- C Id selves. It soon became evident to Har- K is mon that he had an elephant on his hands-more than one-who had no it ie money hut yet felt they were entitled to lii ,-bargains, and so he called in the police et force and locked the doors-leaving out ahundreds who were clamoring for ad- i itmittance-. The greatest damage was done in t12 closing the avenue to the H ER ALD office. iNumbers of men desired to come up p estairs to pay their dues, boys wanted to come into the bookstore and buy valen-v tines, and the ladies to buy other fancies. 8s All this time the editors raged like lions fr d in a cage; they had never seen it in this T ig ight before, and the loss in dollars can .r- not be estimated. The devil creid for a, copy, hut in vain, the best ideas wvent hi is glimmering, to write was imp)ossible. si rn As a relief we would rush down stairs, ai as invest a quarter and occupy a half hour er toting up enough goods to fill a wheel- c< re barrow. This could not last always; it d the quarters soon gave out-not so the C >n noise. But we will not weary the reader. .e- Thursday was like unto Wednesday, P n, Friday was no better, and Saturday six d- of onc and a half dozen of the other, R ot but happily Sunday followed with sweet R s. rest. Trhis was the biggest thing ever witnessed in Newberry. 0 to BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT.-When ourp -"devil" heard that beavers were selling rr ad for one dollar down stairs Wednesday, jE ic he couldn't contain himself; he threw -e down his composing stick, and rushed tl e down for one; but, lo! they were all it ts gone. The sunlight disappeared from ta es his inky face, and his young ambition, C an so nearly realized, Wvas blighted. The st en Editors then ran down, three steps at a b is; jump, their countenances, usually so ild solemn and melancholy, beaming with ae joy, and called for a barrel of flour. h ns Visions of biscuits danced before their li So minds. But when the clerk answered, s< rs- "Ten dollars," they walked calmly and ti he with a Christian resignation back to e Sa their sanctum, wiser but much sadder p nd men. c seSINGULAR FACT ! y Is it not strange that people run off after strange things, when they could do better at in home? Nearly every man, woman and child S THE ROSETTE PARTY.-The local de irtment is pretty well fille' but we lueeze up dots generally, that space av be found for notice of the last grand fair of the season-the Rosette Party. was quite delectable, and as the boys y filed the bill in every particular, so uch so that the ladies who .conceived e,idea as well as those who enjoyed are perfectly satisfied. The object as a charitable one, and in this too it as successful as to the amount raised. be ladies, bless them, can raise any ing, even a fellow out of his boots metimes. Early in the evening e bright-eyed maidens and gents e latter fresh from Tobe and Ratley's nsorial saloons-began to gather, in easing till the Hall was filled. The alian musicians filled the room beside th delightful music; the tables, on [ich delicious cake, fruit pyramids, quets, oysters and other things re sed, filled the eye and heart with ad iration and sweet anticipation-all are full; the well, or sylvan spring, led with lemonade, was also full, and ery one felt that their anticipations >uld be full-filled. Even the boys had 11l filled pockets from which the fair -easurers filled their boxes. A half ur's promenade gave the 'Rosette )mmittee time to fix up, when at a nal the drawing commenced at a me a chance. Just here it was our easure to meet Col. Sniffles. He de -ed the pleasure of a promenade and the hall with a certain bright ed piece of divinity, for which he in -vd a dime; it went against him; other trial, same result; a third, lrth and fifth-each time fortune led. He tried to sell out-his dimes ninishing rapidly-but there were no yers. He was at wit's ends when the nday School Song, "Try, try again," ggested itself. One more investment d he was a happy man. With the ly by his side the next thing was oys 's for two. The lady, however, de ned. So the Colonel ordered one ster, and one cake with lemonade. 3 was agreeably surprised to find when oysters arrived that he received two er all. By some freak in the dishing > much cracker and too little oyster 1 to his share-or rather two little sters. As it was a Rosette party, wever, and he had a fill on them, he t thank-full things were no worse. e Colonel is a philosopher and takes ngs easy. Said he, after digesting oysters-the operation requiring lit effort or time-Observe that young mn standing with folded arms; he omenadeth not nor treateth ; he hath hungry look about the eyes which st on the form of that fair girl now ssing. He knoweth none other, and a youth on whose arm she leaneth is nilarly unfortunate. These two only ow one lady, and that hungry look felloiv waits, hoping that the other, ao "holds the fort" with such perti city, will tire docwn. My bowels an toward him. What more the lonel might have said was cut short his darting across the room. The ngry youth we are pleased to say s finally rewarded. We would like extend tbis notice of so pleasant a *rty, but space forbids. NEWBERRY COLLEGE.-A meeting of e citizens of the town was held in the urt House Monday night, to take into nsideration the location of the above smed institution. Mr. W. T. Tarrant, airman, called upon Rev. H. W. Lhns, who explained to the meeting e present status of the College-that is without debt, is well provided with aies, apparatus, professors, and all her things necessary for successful >eration, except grounds and build gs. These the citizens of Newberry e called upon to provide, if diey want e Institution. Mr. Kuhns was followed by Messrs. pe, Baxter, Moorman, Suber and ower, who pointed out the great 'ad ntages, social, educational and pecu ary, that would accrue to the town om the location of the College here. be following resolution was offered by r. Baxter, and adopted: Resolved, That a committee of ten appointed by the Chairman to solicit bsriptions, and to take such other ~tion as may be deemed proper to se ire the location of Newberry College the town of Newberry, and that said mmittee report to an adjourned meet of the citizens of the town in the ~urt House next Monday evening. The following gentlemen were ap inted on the Committee: C. H. Suher, Chairman, D.B. Wheeler, .L. McCaughrin, Win. Langford, .H. Wright, Y. J. Pope, Geo. S. :ower, A. M. Bowers, J. D. Cash, L. Schumpert. Y. J. Pope, Esq., was chosen Corres mding Secretary of the meeting. The eeting then adjourned to meet next onday evening at 7 1-2 o'clock. From the large number present, and e interest and earnestness displayed the matter, it is very evident that e citizens of Newberry want their ollege back again, and will make renuous efforts to get it. In all pro ibiity they will get it. DOGS AND FLOWERS.-A lady in town s an elegant flower-pit which she has ey had constructed, and in it a choice ~lection of geraniums, fuchsias, helio opes, etc. Wednesday a stray dog andered into the yard, and seeing a iece of carpeting spread over the glass >ver of the pit, leaped upon it for the urpose of taking a quiet nap in the n. Of course he went through, break ig several panes of glass and injuring me nof thfowers. TTnlike .Tosenh he SUNDAY ITEMS.-Services were held at all the churches Sunday, and the at tendance was generally good. At the Baptist Church Mr. Eason ad ministered the ordinance of baptism to two new members-Mrs. T. J. Lips comb and Dr. D. S. Pope. Mr. Kershaw officiated at the Epis copal Church, morning and night. The services were quite interesting, and the sermons excellent. The description, at night, of the negative and the positive Christian was lucid and searching, proving very clearly that a life of moral ity is not alone sufficient to save the soul. The music of this Church is very fine. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion resumed their regular Sunday after noon,services in Temperance Hall, Mr. L. C. Moore officiating. These services will hereafter be held every Sunday at 5 P. M. The public are cordially in vited. There is a strange perversity in hu mgan nature. If you offer aman anything free, gratis, for nothing, he is apt to turn up his nose at it--place a price c. and he at once has the strongest desirt to possess it. Let your doors stand in-| vitingly open and offer inducements to him to come in, and he will pass by,| but if your doors are closed and there is | an impediment in the way, immediately he desires to get in. Strange! The doors to the HERALD office are ever wide open, the way clear, and the pro prietor waits in patience for the man who is ever expected to come in. He don't come often. There is no necessity with him for hurry, he can come at any time. On Wednesday last our friend below stairs, Harmon, found it necessa ry to close his doors, to prevent a raid over his counters and goods, and just then it happened that not a few sub- l scribers-some one who wanted to make us feel bad said there were fifty, I more or less,-remembered their in debtedness and made efforts to get in. It is said they were very indignant, had come quite a distance to pay, and what hurt them the most was they did not know when they would be in funds again. It hurts us also. We think se riously of suing Harmon for damages. TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE. The following transfers of Real Estate have been recorded since Jan. 1st, 1877: J. J. Carrington and T. P. Lane, to J. A.

The weather is cold and clear. Hold your hat! Dr. Wallace has English peas up. The young folks are again learnin, to sing. Many of the old ones are followin( the example. Sniffles caine near getting his nosE barked last week. Our worthy Intendant has' saved hi: bacon so far. A great many people were in towt Saturday. The kite season has come, and the boys are enjoying themselves. The youngest child of Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Garmany died Sunday morning. Don't forget the Meeting nexi Monday night at the Court House. The Tilden and Hendricks Bannei still waves on Pratt Street. Somebody let off a blunderbuss or ruesday night-the thief must have been scared. Such a rush for valentines never waE witnessed before in the memory of the )ldest inhabitant. After standing one hour and expa iating on the beauties of his valentines, the Herald Book Store man succeeded ,n selling one at 5 cents. He don't ike the business. The excitement at Harmon's store ast week put a stop to all kinds of bus ness. Whenever bargains are offered very body suddenly has plenty of noney. - The number of stove-pipe hats now vorn is enormously large. There must iave been a fire somewhere. Sniffles' remarks about Liver Pads lave created a demand for them. Every )ther man in town has something the natter with his liver. The scarcity of beef last week may iave been caused by one of the butch r's giving his principal attention to ;hickens. A large crowd, mostly colored, was ssembled Saturday in the basement of he building below Webb's old stand to vitness cock-fighting. The sport was rept up all day, several chickens were diled, and many "quarters" changed 2ands, Adam (the old man) went to sleep md had a rib taken from his side. Our ~riend A. J. Kilgore went to sleep and ad his sides taken from him-out of he meat house; there were no ribs ii hem. Joking aside, the thieves oughi oe have their ribs broken. If you would know whether there is ny "wool on the top of your head" g~ and get a shave at Tobe Dawkins' shop Mr. Z. L. White has a very prett: boat which he will place on Blease'i pond in a few days for fishing and plea sure excursions. The boat was mad! by Mr. Bennett, and can be propellei either by sails or oars. We,have had the pleasure of shaking hands with the man who promised tt haul that load of wood. Tears startei to his eyes; he hated the disappointmen1 so; death of a mule; bad roads, &c. 0 course we felt bad, who wouldn't wher it is considered that the wood is stil out? The farmers are so busy getting ready for planting that they have n< time to renew subscriptions. Money il needed, but we would not have then stop work for such a trifling matter. An individual stepped into this offic< complaining that he had not pocket enough. He only had seventeen ani they were all full of memorandums an local notices. Twenty cents in mone; constituted the bulk of his fortune. He was a drummer. We stick to it-that is, the assertiot made in this column last week tha there would be more money made thi: year than during any one year in th last ten. It will be made by econom, and closer attention to business. When Harmon put down his goods and it became known that bargain were to be had, the rush was so gres and the confusion so confounded tha our compositors took the cheap good fever and stampeded. We have .neve been to the Black Hills, but imagin Harmon's store presented a simila scene to the rush after gold. The market for the past two week~ has not been supplied with anything extra in beef-some days none of an; character is offered. Soon the peopi of the town will be looking as lean a shad in June. The shad season is in, but as fis1 diet is a brain food-the body is n. benefitted greatly. Beef and muttoi are wanted. Subscribers who could not get int this office Wednesday in consequene of Harmon's doors being closed, are re quested to "try again." The way open once more. From the specimens in Dr. Bruce new art gallery one would think th Dr. never did anything in his life bu take photographs. The palings around the Episcop~ Church have been painted white, an now present quite a neat and pretty ap pearance. A good place to keep a beaver hat i1 is a barrel in which odds and ends ar stored.
