With the coming of Spring, comes a
general going over in household af
fairs. The tidy housewife looks over
and into everything from the cellar
to the attic; kitchen, pantry, dining
room and bed room are examined, and
of course many indispensable -articles
are either badly worn, broken or alto
gether missing. It follows naturally
that all these different things must be re
placed, and the next question is, where
are they.to be had at the lowest prices?
This is easily answered. Messrs. Kings
land & Heath, under the Columbia Ho
tel, Columbia, S. C., wholesale and re
tail dealers in China, Glass, Crockery,
Tin, Wood and Iron Ware of all kinds,
can supply any and all wants in house
furnishin?g. Send them an order and
be convinced. 11-tf.
ADVERTISE.-Advertise and let the.
people-of the County see that Newberry
is a~ bie town, and that her merchants
have goods to sell and mean to sell
them. 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.

Mr. Cash's New Milliner, Mrs. A. M.
Smith, arrived safely on Saturday last,
and brought with her the pleasing
news that she had selected a New Btock
of Millinery and Faney Goods . for Mr.
Cash, far superior to anything ever
bought South since she went with
Mesrs. Armstrong, Cator & Co., just
fifteen years ago. Young ladies buy

Fmm AND FLooD.-Pope & Wardlaw
say they have suffered the curses in in
verse order; first, the fire, then the flood,
and that the latter was worse than the'
former, as they had ng insurance against
floods. We allude to the big scouring
out, preparatory to Tarrant's coming in.
Attention is called to the card of
Messrs. J. B. Leonard & Co., wholesale
and retail dealers in To.bacco, Segars,
Pipes, &c. Their stock is full and em
braces all the various popular brands.
They have just received and offer for
sale cheap one hundred and fifty boxes
of choice Tobacco.
Attention is called to the card of Mr.
Jas. C. Bell, contractor and builder,
and we take pleasure in stating that we
are favorably acquainted with him, and
knowing him to be entirely reliable
and competent we cheerfully recom
mend him to such persons as con
template building. Address all com
munications to Orangeburg, S. C.,
prompt attention being guaranteed.
SOUJTHERN SARATOGA.-COl. W. M

PUBLIC MEETING.
We are requested to ar.nounce that 1
there will be a meeting of the. citizens
of Newberry in the Court House the
night of April 2nd, in the interest of t
Newberry College. All persons are t<
invited, and it is hoped there will be a
large turn-out of both ladies and gen-t
tl
tlemen. All societies or other organi
zations, whose time of meeting falls on
the above mentioned hight, are earnest
ly requested to postpone their meeting
r
on that night. f
Music.-The most popular song of
the day is "Gathering Shells from the
Sea Shore," composed by Will L.
Thompson, for a copy of which we are u
indebted to W. L. Thompson & Co., o
East Liverpool, Ohio. Our thanks are
tendered the publishers for this pretty
E
song.
Mr. Edward Scholtz lost during the P
late fire a pair of small scales, such as $
:re used by silversmiths. *Knowing g
that they were not destroyed, he will be
glad to have them returned to him. it

Mr. William Satterwhite's gin-house b
was broken into a few nights ago, and
% quantity of fodder stolen. That sec
tion of the county seems to be infested t
with rogues. The farmers find it al- w
most impossible to keep either cows or t
hogs. They had better organize a g
rhief Detective Society, as the citizens a
of Caldwell Township have done, f

HARDWARE.-In this week's issue h
will be found the card of that well
known and experienced importer of
Eardware, Mr. J. C. Dial, of Colum

DEAT.-Miss Julia A. Cash died in a
Sewberry the 20th instant, at the resi
ence of her brother, J. D. Cash. She
fell a victim to that terrible disease Ty d
phoid Pneumonia. The funeral ser- I
rices were held Wednesday in the Bap- l
ist Church, Rev. F. W. Eason, the Pas- t
;or, officiating. Miss Cash was a mem
ser of the Baptist Church, and an ex- r
mplary Christian. She was buried in a
Rosemont Cemetery. b
GREENVILLE HOTEL.-We take pleas-P
ire in directing attention to the card S
n another eolumn, which announces
:o the travelling public that the
areenville Hotel is now in the hands
>f Col. A. M, Speights. Our word for
:t, he will keep his house in apple pie ce
yrder, and give ample satisfaction to all
who favor it with their presence. One $
>f the great requisites of a good hotel
eeper is to feed well, and this he
knows how to do.2
THAT TURKEY SHOOIG.-Our local
interviewed the young man who did the 4f
:urkey shooting as reported a few weeks
ago. He acknowledged the fault of $
getting on the blind side of his father
in going to the turkey blind during that S:
ather's absence, but endeavored to n<
show that it was on Saturday afternoon
md not Sunday. A last year's almanac n<
aisled him. He says further that he
tilled three turkeys instead of two as 14
eported-and all at one shot,.a
Come and try Cash's New Patent
tair Case since they have been can- tr
rassed. A lady fifty years of age, who bi
hought it impossible for her to ascend th
hem, after being induced to try them la

inually, "This is very easy, easy, easy ti
ndeed." Nothing like them. Don't T

EVERYBODY.-The amounts subscribed te
or the relocation of Newberry College ti<
in our midst should be considered only p,
in the light of loans or investments 0,
which come back with interest. Every se
business interest will be benefitted. 4,
Dne hundred students, together with
the faculty and their families, will spend B
onsiderable money. Think of it, bus- lh
ness men, and increase your subscrip- ,
ions. Every clerk in the town will be
helping himself in lending help to this
cause-as it will insure greater busi
ness, with the chances of more perma- y
a
nent situations. Everybody should sub-a
scribe-no matter how small the amount
-and do so at once.
GENEROUS.-We clip the following ~
'rom our excellent contemporary, thet
Anderson Intelligencer. The kindness '
f the Intelligenceer and the Young Men's ~
Thristian Association is gratefully ap
preiated:b
AN APPEAL TO THE CHARITABLE.
The Newberry HERALD states that
some of the people who were burned
:ut by the recent fire in that town are
in straitened circumstances, and have n'
been reduced to almost absolute pov- si
erty. Mrs. Whaley, who has several C
small children dependent on her for
a support, lost nearly everything she
possessed, including home and store, ce
ank there are others sadly in need of st
aid. The general distress of the comn- H
munity has caused an appeal to the
fred ftedsiuesfeesite
prions of the dstitte andffes cnherl

THE SILMoNS HOUSE. - We af
>leased to call attention to the fact th:
Ir. Arthur Simmons has opened
loarding House at the corner of Nanc
nd Friend streets. The central loco
ion of the house and its arrangement
)gether with Mr. Simmons' well-knowi
ualifications, as former proprietor c
ae Glenn Springs Hotel, satisfy us thi
he Simmons House will become popu
ir.
THE RIGHT KIND OF SYMPATHY.
n response to our call for aid, we hav
eceived a valuable express packag
)r Mrs. Whaley from Mrs. Moore, c
nderson. This generous gift come
om a total stranger to Mrs. W.; on
rho knows how to sympathize with th
nfortunate. Mrs.IMoore is the wido'
f the gallant Colonel Jno. V. Moor
ho fell while leading his Regimen
:he 2nd S. C. Rifles) at the:Secon
attle of Manassas.
We have also received from Capt A
'. Davis $3.00 for Mrs. Whaley, an
1.00 from Mr. J. M. Cozzens for thi
eneral sufferers by the fire.
The finest line of Dress Goods eyei
aown in this or any other market is t<

PERSONAL.-Mr. Jas. H. Hardin, o
ie Chester Reporter, was in town las
eek. He says the boys he taught a
ie Academy five years ago hav(
rown out of his recollection-but thel
re not as tall as he is yet, and ven

Mr. McD. Metts, travelling for th<

General Wade Hampton's advice t<

'ry Goods House, before seeing Cash's
ie first time you appear on the streel

NEWBERRY COLLEGE. - Only one
I week more. Synod meets next Tues
a day. The question will be decided then
-finally. Our people have done well
so far; but they must do more yet. We
have several formidable rivals. New
) berry must increase her subscriptions.
She is able to do it. Remember that not
one cent of the money subscribed is to
leave the place. It will all be used
right here for constructing the build
ings. We will not speak now of the
innumerable and great benefits to be
derived from the re-location of the Col
lege here. These are patent to all.
But what we wish to impress upon the
minds of the citizens, is the one impor
tant, inevitable fact, that Newberry
must make the best offer to the Synod,
or she will not get the College.
Now, let everybody who feels an
interest in the matter lend a helping
hand. It is not expected nor desired
that anybody should give beyond his
means, but it is earnestly desired that
all should contribute something. Be as
liberal as your circumstances will allow.
Don't wait for others; act at once. The
time is too short for further delay. If
the people of Newberry let this op
portunity slip they will make a great
mistake.
A NEW CoMET DISCOVERED.-On
the night of the 22nd instant, a strange
object made its appearance suddenly
and unexpectedly in the heavens. Prof.
Comstock, of the Michigan University,
.thus describes it in the Ann Arbor Eve
.ning Mercury of the 23d: "Lastnight, at
,twenty minutes past 10 o'clock, while I
,was examining a small star of the tenth
-magnitude in the constellation Capri
.cbrnus, just above the horizon, I perceit
ed something of a greenish color passing
before my vision. Thinking it a piece
of green gauze that I use as a cover for
the telescope while not in use, I rose
from my seat to remove it; but casting
my eyes' in the direction of the star I
had just been examining, I perceived
- the strangest object it has ever been
my lot to witness-a large globular
shaped ball, of a dark green hue, about
.twice the size of the planet Jupiter. *
* * *
At first it appeared to be stationary,
but after examining more closely
through the telescope I detected that it
was gradually moving from West to
East. I watched it till it disappeared,
which happened an hour and a half be
fore dawn. * * * * I am utterly
at a loss to explain- this strange
phenomenon-nothing like it was ever
seen before. The most probable so
lution that presents itself to my mind
is that it is some star in the pro
cess of combustion, and that the green
color is owing to the presence of a large
quantity of chlorine in its combination.
* * * * I shall watch for it again
to-night." He did watch for it, and it
again appeared, iising about three
quarters of an hour later than on the
preceding night. Many others have
been examining it with the best tele
scopes, but no satisfactory solution has
been reached. The matter is creating
considerable excitement in New York,
I Brooklyn and other large cities. The
.comet, star, or whatever it is, will rise to
. ight (Tuesday) at 2 o'clock, and three
quarters of an hour later each succeed
ing night. Astronomers say that it is
becoming less brilliant, and seems to
be going away, which fact tends to cor
roborate the theory of Prof. Comstock,
that it is a burning star. We have seen
it only once, and that was Monday
morning just before it disappeared. By
sitting up till 12 or 1 o'clock you can get
a fine view of it. Look about six
degrees North of East, and you will
have no trouble in finding it.
An Earniest Appeal.
Friends. fellow-citizens, debtors!
Hear us! We were in a strait
before the late dreadful fire, but
now we are absolutely straight
ened out, and if ever a period
existed which made it neces
sary for us to call on our friends
to aid us by paying up, now is
certainly that time. We make an
earnest appeal, therefore, to one
and all to come and pay us a por
tion, if not all that they owe us,
that we may be enabled to resume
business again. Our losses are
heavy, and we feel assured that
the friends we have favored in
better times will generously come

have taken wood, potatoes, corn, eggs,
butter, onions, cabbages, chickens,
stone, lumber, labor, sand, calico,
sauerkraut, second-band clothing, coon
skins and bug juice on subscriptions, in
our time, and now a man writes to us
to know if we would send the paper
six months for a large owl. There are
few things an editor would refuse on
subscriptions, and if we come across
any fellow who is out of an owl and is
in need of one we'll do it."
THE LAST CHAPTER.-We have been
endeavoring to give the reader a feeble
idea of the difficulties under which the
HERALD has labored in consequence of
the complications up stairs and below i
stairs-more particularly below stairs
-and as the story would be incomplete
without the finale, we now feel happy
in being able to give the last chapter in Z
the sad history of a few weeks, which
from Dick's exploit as an auctioneer
down to the advent of Tarrant's water
slashers and scrubbers, with all the
intermediate changes, have made things
lively. The painters and floor-scrubbers
are through, barricades removed, and
access being attainable up-stairs without
danger of getting our hat mashed or
the bark knocked off our shins, we feel
moderately happy, as much so as possi
ble under the circumstances. Tarrant
moves in his dry goods to-day, while
Pope & Wardlaw move out their pills,
plasters and potions. In a few days d
things will be settled, and we feel free d
to invite our friends up-stairs-there is
no danger of tearing coat-tails by pro
truding nails, falling over step ladders, J
or being otherwise injured. All quiet
-and "nobody hurt."
INsuRANCE.-Last week we gave the
insurance recovered up to that date,
amounting to $33,930.37. The remain
ing policies have been adjusted as fol
lows:
M. Foot, - - - - - - $5,000 00 1
McFall & Pool, - - - - 5,250 00
Dr. Jno. R. Thompson, - 1,000 00
C. & G. S. Mower, - - 2,906 35
Total, - - - - - - $14,156 35
Previously reported - - 33,930 37
Grand Total, - - - $48,086 72
If the property destroyed was worth
$150,000, as estimated, then the net i
loss to Newberry by the fire is over
$100,000. This loss would be very heavy
at any time, but is especially so now in
the depressed condition of all sorts of
business. The losers, however, mani
fest no. disposition to waste idle regret
over their misfortunes, but are going
bravely to work to recuperate as far as
possible.

ADVICE GRATIS.C
The Hon. Alexander B. Stevens says:
"The Globe Flower Cough Syrup has proven
a most valuable remedy to me."
Gov. James M. Smith, of Georgia, says:
"I shall always use it with perfect confi
dence, and recommend it to the public as a
remedy which -will afford that satisfaction
experienced by me and mine. It excels a
everything for conghis, colds and obstinate d
lung affections."
ExGov. Brown, of Ga., says:-"H~e finds
the Globe Flower Cough Syrup a most ex
cellent remedy."
Such endorsement by our great and good
men deserves the attention of the afficted.
Those suffering from coughs, colds and lung
affections should use the Globe Flower Cough
Syrup. It will positively cure consumption.
