A SATISFYING PLACE.-There is no thiug -ore desirable than a good repu tation, and w ieri once it is established it should be maintained at all hazards; and it is pleasant to say that we have in mind a business house in Columbia, the proprietors of which have not only gained that enviable claim by their past efforts to please the public, but are de termined to maintain it. We allude to Messrs. Kingsland & Heath. the popu lar China, Crockery and Fancy Goods dealers. By this course they have been able to "hold the fort," in spite of ad verse times, and the pressure of cir cumstances. They keep a splendid var1ety of goods and sell at reasonable prices There is no article of utility or of ornament but can be found in this store. We recommend them to house keepers especially. NO EXCUSE FOR BEING SICK. No person can use BOSCHEE'S GER MAN SYRUP without getting immediate relief and cure. We have the first case of Coughs,. Colds or Consumption, or any disease of the Throat aind Lungs, yet to bear from that has not been cured. We have distributed every year, for three years, over 250,000 Sample Bottles by Druggists in all parts of the United States. No other Manufacturer of Medi cines ever gave their preparations such a test as this. Go to your Druggist, Dr. Win. E. Pelham, and get a bottle for 75 cents and try it-T wo doses wvill relieve you: Sample Bottles 10 cents each. Jan 10, 2-3m.eow.

If you cannot afford to contract for a hundred dollar advertisement as in the good old days, send in a fifty cent one. No matter how small the price or the notice, send it in and show that there is life in the town. Make a run on something, if it's only dried cod fish or dried apples, and draw custom. by 'which other merchandise will be sold. When Edward Scholtz repairs your clock or watch it is warranted for one year. Try him. Satisfaction guaranteed. 15-1y THOMPsoN, Dentist, over Phifer's Storc. 35-tf. FISHY.-Bead Broadbrim's letter. BE KILLED.-Frank Glenn, col ored, had a fine beef stolen from him last week. CHANGE.-Mr. W. H. Dickert has sold out his establishment to Messrs. David Boland and Edward Hipp. If a man empties his purse into his bead no man can take it from him. Ben. Franklin. THE DEBATING SOCIET.-What has become of it? Don't give it up. It would afford a great deal of prodt and pleasure to the gentlemen of the town. A GooD SIGN.-Out of the large crowd of men in town Monday we saw only one who appeared to be under the influence of liquor, and we are nbt cer tain that he was. The avenues leading to an early grave have often been opened by a cough or cold. Thousands have been cured and saved by Dr. BullPs Cough Syrup. JALAPA ITEMS. A littl son of Mr. W. H1. Eddy had GRAND MASS MEETING MONDAY NIGIHT, 12TH INS'tNT! IN THE COURT HOUSE! IN INTEREST OF NEWBERRY COLLEGE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN INVITED! Y. M. C. A.-The meetings of thh body Suhday afternoons are not attend ed as largely as they should be. 5 P. M. is the hour, and all are invited, male and female, old and young. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads to fortune.' An opportunity is now offered tc Ne %berry that may never occur agaim -the re-location of Newberry College here. A couple of uncommonly large sized eggs were laid on the editorial table last Monday by Mr. Michael Werts. They measured 6 1-2x8. Mr. M. in formed us that his hens are the Brahma stock and give him such eggs regularly. SALE-DAY.-The Sheriff sold twc tracts of land Monday. Mrs. Nancy Wicker bought the storehouse and lot on Baltimore Corner for $3,550. The "Garlington Place," 700 acres, was bought by Mr. Pat Coleman, of Edge field, for $3,000. STEALING AGAIN.-Sunday night par ties broke into the Newberry Steam Mill, Capt. J. P. Aull's, and carried ofl two hundred pounds of flour and two sacks of corn. The thieves got into the mill by drilling through the brick work, eighteen inches thick. To FAIUIERS.-Messrs. A. J. Mc Caughrin & Co., make important an nouncements this week. They are pre pared to furnish farmers with such a variety of well known and approved fertilizers and chemicals as cannot fail to accommodate all wants. See theii cards. NEw Music.-Mr. A. Koepper, of Columbia, the author of a very appro priate and beautiful piece of music, en titled "Carolina's Choice," will accepi our thanks for a copy of the same.. A lithograph of Gov. Wade Hampton embellishes the title page. Copies can be obtained of the author, or from Mr. R. L. Bryan, bookseller, Columbia. TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE. The following transfers of Real Estate were recorded during the week just closed: 0. HI. Buzhardt to C. Eliza Buzbardt, 294& aeres, $1,500. P. C. Smtth to Isaac M. Smith, his entire interest in 3.78 1-2 acres, $1,285. Isaac M. Smith to Jas. W. Smith, 122 1-2 acres, $885. Dr. Bruce is prepared to take instan taneous pictures of children, and we advise mothers to take advantage oi the opportunity at once. The difficulty heretofore existing of getting a good picture of a restless child is overcomel by Dr. B., as he takes them on th( wing, just as they are, and before t change comes over the spirit of then dreams. Our thanks are hereby returned tc the Pbrenakosmian Society, Newberry College, WValhalla, for an invitation tc their Anniversary Celebratian, Maret 16, 1877. President, WV. G. Neville Debaters, C. W. Welch, J. Q. Werts Orator, J. H. Wilson; Committee o Invitation, J. B. Wingard, J. E. Berley T. F. Boozer, J. P. Cary, A. J. Bowers Subject of Debate: Do great crises pro duce great men? MYSTERIES OF FREIGHT.-It seemi reasonable that the charges on freighi should be in proportion to distance; but they are not, in one case at least. Foi instance, the freight on groceries and dry goods from Charleston to Green ville is less than from Charleston tc Newberry. The freight on a car-load of molasses from Charleston to Green ville is $44; from Charleston to New berry, S80; on a hundred pound of ties to Greenville, 40 cents; to Newberry. 50 cents. The distance tb Newberry is 98 miles shorter than to Greenville. We see here the effect of competition. Newberry has only one rail road. "That's what's the matter with Han nah." DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS.-DO nol put off buying your fertilizer until the last moment, but send in your orders al once. Messrs. WILcox, GIBBS & Co, have only a limited supply of their cele brated WIL.cox, G1BBS & Co.'s MANIrU. LATED Gu.ANo, and if you delay yomn order you may fail in having it filled besides transportation may be obstruct ed; and in waiting for your guano your farming operationS will be retard ed. Recollect "time is money," so cal on their agent and obtain your suppl3 before it is too late. Their terms are very liberal; the guano being deliverei at interior depots, and the option giver of paying in Cotton on the basis of fif teen cents for middling, delivered nexl fl at planters' nearest depot. it.

Many suppose a "gentlem is a man wvith broadcloth on his Ib and plenty of money in his poc Others think he is a man whose an tors hai e been honored and distingu ed.

HO11W TO BECOME A GENTLEMAN. There are some things you must You shoaldJ he obedient to parents teachers, you should show the ute resp)ect to old age,-tbis is one of finest traits a boy can possess should he polite to everybody, old young, male and female, rich and p good and bad. To be polite is a C one owes to himself. You can be p< to a man who deserves not a particl respect, and you should be, for 3 own sake, not for his. You should be diligent-have something to do, do it well. If you are going to set~ try to stand as high in your classe any. If you are not at school, ge hoe, or rake, and work in the gar< or get a book (not a dime novel) read. Whatever you do, don't around the streets. Many a bright has become a stupid, worthless and man by hanging around street corn Nohing destroys a boy's self-res and the respect of others so comple as loafing. Keep off the streets, e cially the more public ones, unless have business there. And, above things, be truthful. This is of greatest importance.

Therifs alesond herewl atondsaeds As charity covereth a multitude of sins, so too does punctuality; the want of it entails no end of trouble and con fusion. When an engagement is made it should be sacredly kept. There are several vacant stores in the town of Newberry waiting for en terprising men to occupy them. We would like to see thd brick store for merly occupied by R. F. Phifer once more opened and filled with goods. Many owners of lots in Rosemont Cemetery are now setting out shrub bery and evergreens. Unfortunately the lock and chain have been stolen from off the gate, and hogs and cows find no difficulty in entering. Again have we to apologize for short comings-the uproar down stairs on Monday threw us completely out of balance and knocked some of our best ideas into a thousand picces. We will try and gather some of the pieces for next week's items. As the planting season is near at hand we hope the farmers of this coun ty will try the benefit of a good, large corn crop. Put in a large area, that when gathering time comes barns may be filled. Raising cotton to buy corn keeps the farmer's -nose to the grind stone. One of our millionaire subscribers complains that the HERALD has so es tablished his reputation that he has no rest day or night. Applications crowd him from every quarter of the compass. Uneasy rests the head which wears the crown-and so with the man whose money bags are full. The sale and purchase of two hun dred and twelve bags of cotton in New berry ten days ago has made quite an impression on the outside world. The surprise was that one could raise so much. This is not surprising, for that farmer is one who pulls off his coat and rolls up his sleeves. He knows how to work. A singular sound in Chapman & Crawford's store excited our curiosity on Wednesday. Following it up it was found to proceed from the throat of Walt Young, colored, from Laurens. He had haggled for a half hour on the price of a sack of flour, and when twen 'ty-five of the price was knocked off he went off into a cackle which sounded like the Great Eastern's Steam Piano in a four-flat key. PERSONAL.-W. C. James, Esq., a lawyer all the way from Council Bluffs, Iowa, was in town last week on busi ness. Mr. Jas. C. Clary is reading law in the office of Johnstone & Fant; Mr. R. C. Maybin with Moorman & Schumi pert. Mr. F. A. Connor, member -he House from Abbeville, was in tow:n week, on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Cad well. Ca pt. W. Jesse Rook, well known in Newberry, is practicing law in Abbe ville. Jas. K. Gilder is pursuing his studies, during his vacation, under the direction of Dr. Garmany, Mr. Thos. Carwile, of Edgefield, was in town Saturday. Mr. Theodore Johnstone, son of Silas Johnstone, Esq., has recently returned from Charleston, where he has been attending the lectures in the Medical College. Our young friend W. C. Gilliam, from this Connty, has just graduated at the New York Medical College. He ought to be, and no doubt is, well pre pared to practice his profession. He graduated first in the literary depart ment of Wofford College, afterwards in the medical department of the Vir ginia University, and lastly at the New York Medical College.

There is no exaggeration in the statement tha t thousands of persor-s residing from one year's end to another in fever and agne re gions o'n this Continent and elsewhere,breathe air more or less impregnated with miasma, without incurring the disease, simply and only because they are in the habit oi' using Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a preventive, It has frequently happened, and the fact has been amply attested by the parties them selves, that persons surrounded on alt sides )y neighibo:'s suffering the tort.ures of this shivering and buraing pla.gue, have enjoyed absolute immunityv fiom it, thanks to the protection afforded by the Bitters. Nor is that standard anti-febrile ,cordial less effica cious in remedying than in prevent'ng chills and fever, bilious remnittents, and disorders of a kndred tyne. Taken between the parox ysms, it speedily mitigates their violeuce,and eventually prevents their recurrence. These facts, convincingly established by evidence, appeal with peculiar force to travelers and sojourners in malarious districts. 10-4t S2NGULAR FACT ! Is it not strange that people run off after strange things, when they could do better at home? Nearly every man, woman and child in the country knows Ayer's, Jayne's, Wright's, Radway's or Tutt's Pills, and very few know Dr. Jas. L. Gilder's Liver Pills; and yet, we venture the assertion, that any one buying and using a single box of Dr. Gilder's Pills, will never buy one of another manufacture. Dr. S. F. Fant sells them. 26-t. Dr. S. F. Fant is giving away a handsome book entitled "Pearls for the People." con taining much valuable information and many interesting articles. It also contains a history of the discovery of the "Hepatine," for diseases of the liver, dyspepsia, consti pation and indigestion, &c., and gives posi tive assurance that when the Hepatine is used it effects a permanent and lasting cure of these diseases, which prevail to such an alarming extent in our country. Take the Hepatine for alt diseases of the liver. 44-tf. Commrercial. NEwBERRY, March 6.-Cotton quiet, at 11k. Bales shipped during week 154..

P. W. & R. S. CHICK, be Oct. 11, 41-tf. ma BEER. The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 1875, speaks as follows: "There can be no doubt of the general . adulteration of all malt liquors. In Englan d sil and other countries, where heavy penalties isti are imposed, and an increasing vigilance ert practiced to detect and punish such frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors all manufactured before exposed to sale, the of practice is very common. 'How much more in this country, where there are no laws onap the subject, and no officer to carefully ana- a lyze the products of the brewery? Some S. years ago, Professor Mapes, of New York, aft analyzed the beer from a dozen different .Lth< breweries, and all were found adulterated ha with noxious substances. It is said that the no sale of drugs to brewers is a profitable part thi of the trade. This is perfectly infamon.s. , Cocculus indicus, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, 1 (dog-button, from which strychnine is ob- . tained,) are some of the delectable substances - found in beer! These are potent poisons, - and the brewer found using them should be drowned at once in one of his own vats. The British Parliament passed a law to pre vent this nefarious business. The following ful is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or co dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other a person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of beer, knowingti them to be such, or shall sell or deliver to any person on account of,or in trust for, any N such brewer, dealer or retailer, any liquor . called by the name of or sold for coloring, - from whatever material the same may be made; or any material or preparation other than unground brown malt, for the darken ing the color of worts beer, or any molasses, be vitriol, honey, quassia, coccolas indicus, ha grains of paradise, Guinea pepper, or opmum, or any extract or preparation of molasses, or any article or preparation to be used in worts beer for or as a substitute for malt or bops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars, such preparation, &c., shall be M forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of at excise, and the person so offending shall for- al< feit five hundred pounds.' p "Under this law, very many druggists and p brewers were brought to grief, and yet the practice continues. Unless the American public are ready to admit the immaculate purity and innocence of American brewers, - they must be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the same time guzzling some narcotic poison or damaging medicine. In view of the upre- wg cedented growth of the barley crop; of the f great increase of the number of malsters and de brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beer that are drunk in every city and almost th every town on the continent, it is the dictate fit of sound wisdom that the attention of leg is- w~ lators should be called to the subject of the adulteration of our malt liquors, and severe penalties should be inflicted as a preventive."
