Ii is the duty of every person who has used BoscEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let its wonderful -tjualities be known to their friends 'in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneu monia, and in fact all throat and lung diseaes. No -person can use it without. immediate relief. Three doses will re lieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to -recommend it to the podi dying- consumptive, at least to tryione bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were spid las .year. and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the GEuixxxA SYRUr cannot be too widelf known. Ask your Drug gist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For .ale by W. E. Pe}ham.~ 39-eow.

Mayer, Jr., was elected Physician.. ____ 1857 AND 1877.-For over twenty years Mr. Foot has been before the pub lie of Newberry, and always in a fa vorable light. This week he has some thing to say to the citizens of this place which will be found of interest. He has a very large stock of goods, endless in variety and of every quality and at prices as low as any one else on the top of the green earth. Read his card and tben call on him. * Lamps, Kerosene Oil, Crockery and Glassware at thie-Big Tin Horn. I t. KEENE & AUSTIN. REDUCED FARE.-oloneOl Dodamead, Superintendent of the G. & C. R. R., it will be seen by his advertisement, has reduced the fare so considerably that the cost of going to the State Fair at Columbia is less for the round trip than the regular price one way. Only $1.75 to go and return. Everybody of course will go, as everybody will be able to raise that sma-ll amount. The Colonel bas.done 'the1'right thing and will be the gainer by.it. ATTENTION BOYS and read what two little fellows, one ten and the other twelve years old, the sons-.of Mr. Jas. S. Spearman, of Silver Street, have done and are doing. One day last week the youngest picked 198 lbs. and the other 210 lbs. of cotton. They pick every day and everage 150 to 175 lbs. All praise to the little fellows. They will become men one of these days that it will do to tie to. Follow their exam ple, boys of Newberry. THANKS.-The biggest turnips5 white and yellow brought to this office this season were deposited under the edito rial table last week by Mr. Mordecai Boyd. He has our thanks. THANKS to Mr. L. R. Marshall for a mess of choice fish fresh from the fish banks of Charleston. To Mr. U. B. Whites for extra fine and large turnips. To Mr. W. P. Johnston for some of the same, one of which measured 231-2 inches in circumference. One of the most wide awake Dry Goods lhrchants in the city of Colum bia is (Z F. Jackson, who has j ustly earned distinction as the Leader of Low Prices. His advertisement this week he is always advertising-is a general invitation to all of Newberry and the rest of mankind on the suburbs to call on him while in attendance at the State Fair. He will make the visitors happy even if they do not buy, by show ing them how cheap and pretty his goods are. SALE-DAY.-Notwithstandinlg the in clemency of the weather there were quite a number of persons in from the country on Monday last. Sheriff Whee-' ler made the following sales: One sixth of an acre with building in Gravel Town, $100; Chupp land tract No. 1, 105 acres, $875, tract 2, 101 acres, $835; the Tucker land, 264 acres, $2,830.00; A *,~,..,. ~ L..~ IHundreds of good men intend going to the State Fair, and they expect to make a sensation on the grounds and on the streets, but 'if the court knows herself and she thinks she do,' they might as well try to. catch a weasel asleep as expect to tool the public in old clothes. Kinard & Wiley of Col-. umbia, the great clothiers, say that the only chance for them to make a good appearance is to put on their elegant suits, and that to prevent a disappoint ment they will sell-eheap. Keene & Austin have a few more Wade Hampton Cook Stoves which they will close out very cheap. Look out for the Big Tin Horn. t . ". The travelling public are invited to notice card in another column, of that popular institution the Charleston Ho tel-one of the largest and best pro vided in the South. The proprietors, Messrs. E. H. Jackson & Co., and their efficient assistants, spare no pains to make their guests perfectly comforta ble. The" table is furnished with aR the delicacies afforded by markets or seasons, and the rates of board range from $2.50. to $4, according to location of room. The Charleston Hotel is sec ond to no other in the Southern coun try. Sol Smith Russell and his splendid quartette company gave one of their chaste and pleasing entertainments in Temperance Hall on Saturday night, and we are gratified to say that the house was full, thus showing that the people of Newberry know how to ap preciate anything of first-rate merit. It is needless to say that Sol Smith 4lus. sell was good and that the ladies and gentlemen in their concert of swept sounds gave the budienee. a treat long to be remembered. It isi-o be regret ted that a few noisy boys caused one of the .most beautiful songs -on 'the: pro gramme--"In the sweet by and bye" to. be cut.short. I. 0. G. T.-At last regular meeting :f Kosciusko Lodge, No.32', I. O. G. T.f the 'ollowing officers were installed to serve the ensuing terni: W. C. T.-Z. P. Moses. W. R. H. S.-Mrs. M. E. Packer. W. L. H. S.-Mrs. D. Moses. W. V. T.-Miss C. Wilson. W. S.-J. H. M. Kinard. W. A. S -Miss Lizzie White. W. F. S.-L. R. Marshall. W. T.-Jno. A. Kinard. W. M.-B. B. Hunter. W. D. M.-S. B. Jones. W. I. G.-Miss Lida Davis. W. 0. G.-Jno. A. Lindsay. W. C.-Rev. C. H. Pritchard. P. W. C. T.-Jas. Packer. HOT-SUPPER AND CONCERT.-The crowd at the . concert Thursday night was not as large as it would have been but for the threatening appearance of the clouds. Still there were enough persons present to render the affair a success, pecumiarily, socially and other ise. The music was vocal, with piano accompaniment, and was very goul. The "Newberry Rifles" were out in heir new uniforms and presented a gallant appearance. Fight of the Corn pany gave an exhibition in the manual f arms-they did splendid. After the oncert came a dance, which closed the vening. The evening was greatly en oyed by all present. The proceeds amounted to about $65. NARROW-MINDED MEN.-The Nine y-Six ardian,4one.of our sprightliest xchan es, lian'dles c5ertain class of -' ss men without gloves as fllows: 9 "Nerdhanfs !wh6odo not ad.vertise gri.fset and -m.arrow-minded in-their views, and a perfect type of the greedy matience of the fellow whoi order o realize'a fortune by a single opera ion, kiHled the goose that laid the gol en eggs. -'The same morbid contract dness of interest m advertising; is akin o that of the far,pier who stinted his land to half the quantity of seed neces sary to produce a full crop, under the epectation of an abundant harvest. As a general rule, those who are want ing in the liberality necessary to make heir business extensively known, will ot' hesitate to skin every customer ho comes within their reach. Ladies are sagacious. They know who adver tise, and who do not, and they never expect a bargain in a* non-advertising establishmx.ent. So, too, with men. They say the man who does not adver ise his goods, has nothing worth ad vertising, or if he has and does not, he is a skinflint, and it is better to keep tit of his clutches." A LIGHT-FINGERED LDIB OF TIHE Aw.-A few* rionths ago a mulatto lawyer, named S. L. Hutchins, came ere from Columbia and established his fice on the street corners. He did some work. for his colored -brethren, mostly of that kind denominated by the profession as "charity practice." But a few days ago he struck a big bonaniza. A lient of'>Joe Boston's had -recovered a judgment for $20. Joe's client gave Hutchins power of attorney to collect the amount from the defendant, but be fore it was 'collected the power of attor ney was revoked. Notwithstanding, utchins went ahead, received the money from the defendant and sloped on the next train. Joe's client is dis consolate. After penning the above we find the following paragrap)h in the News & Courier. It may afford consolation to the unfortunate client to know that Hutchins has been recommended to a lower court. How low the deponent knoweth not: "Styles L. Hutchins, colored, a law yer and trial justice of South Carolina, applied for admission to the Supreme Court of Georgia, but was referred to a lower court." IMPROVEMENTS AT THE BANK.-The Hall Safe and Lock Manufacturing Company, of Cincinnati and New York, have just completed for the National Bank of Newberry extensive and valu able improvements. The vault has been lined inside-bottom, top and sides-with a beavy iron and steel drill-proof lining. . Two new doors have replaced the old ones; the outside door is fire-proof and the inside one (which weighs over 2.000 pounds) bur glar-proof. To the latter door is at tached one of the most ingenious and wonderful inventions of modern times, known as the "Time Lock." By means of this the Cashier when he locks the vault in the afternoon can so set the lock that neither he nor any other per son can unlock it till a certain hour, say 9 o'clock, the next day. The ob ject of this "time lock" is to prevent burglars from capturing the Cashier at night and making him unlock the vault at the point of the pistol. The vault is now as secure. against both fire and burglary, as human skill ~ tn'~alt~ ih and within thIf~ vsudt are In the removal of his Dental offic Dr. J. R. Thompson has cut off one o our pleasures, that of hearing an occa sional squeal caused by the extractios of a stubborn molar. We congratulat him, however, on getting in better quar ters-over Mrs. Mower's new store. Mr: Michael Werts showed us couple of open bolls of the Cheathan cotton on Monday which were alto gether ahead of anything yet seen One boll had twelve distinct locki and the other eleven. Such cotton is worth picking. LONG SWEETENING.-Mr. W. G. Mctts, living near Pomaria, teport5 that he has a sorghum mill which ha4 ground out four hundred .and six gal Ions of syrup, all of which is now reads for use. Mr. D. T. Livingston, in the samf neighborhood, sees him and goes twc hundred and ninety-four gallons better, he having made the large amount o1 seven hundred gallons. Had these gentlemen sent in samples of their syrup we could sweeten our next mess of buckwheat cakes and re port as-to quality. The State Fair is the all...engrossing topic; men, women and children think and talk of little else bpde going down to Columbia and what y shall wear. And it is but natural, E -y one wants fIobk well and create' favorable im pression; and to do so to the best ad vantage is the problem to be solved. We feel it our duty, under the circum stances, to say to, he gentlemen and youths Who have:"riothing to wear" to read the card of Messrs. R. & W. C. S affield, fashionable clothiers of Co lumbia, and if that does not solve the problei then we give it up. They can sit any taste. Do good is an injunction which every one should regard, and if we would all make it more our study, and practice it, what a pleasant, happy time te'would have to be sure. Never pass a single day without doing some good, making some body happy. It is our pleasure to say that Jones & Satterwhite are doing a good work and deserve the well-done of the community, in that they sell their goods at prices which enable everybcdy to buy, and they have variety enough to gratify all tastes. Ladies and gentlemen going to the State Fair will appreciate our advice to get their wants supplied by them before leaving. These gentlemen have worked a revolution,and a peaceful one, it is our pleasure to say. SAMPLE LOcALS.-Cloudy last week. Farmers are busy. Chickens are scarce. The nights are growing longer. Persimmons are ripe. Money is more plentiful. The moon shines to-night. Get out your overcoats. &c., &c., &c. It is with just such trash as the above tat some papers fill their local columns, and then because the columns are filled -with something-proclaim themselves "the best local papers" in the State. ust as well fill the local columns with ive cent wood-cuts, or not to fill them t all. Such little items come in wvell eough here and there, but they are not ocals. An editor can't sit in his sanc um from morning till night and grind ut locals. He has got to go out into he streets and keep his eyes skinned ad his ears open. He must learn what is going on in his town and coun y. He must give the local news. His readers want to know what is trans piring in their own county, and expect im to* keep them informed. If he oes that he makes a good "local pa per," and not otherwise, though he may fill his local columns brim full of words ad sentences. EING'S CREEK ITEMS. Items are scarce.. Your Mollohon itemizer is ahead on he mad dog question. The farmers are very busy picking otton, and beautiful weather they have for the business. Cotton it is thought will turn out pretty fair in this section. The corn is nearly all gathered, and glad to say that it is very good. Partridges have seen hard times since the 15th ult. Mr. P. B. Sligh had his horse stolen t Newberry the.day of the show; it was ridden about twvelve miles (near Dr. Gary's) and turned loose. It was found onl Mr. Hayne Chalmer's place near Jalapa on Saturday, and Mr. Sligh takes pleasure in returning his thanks to Mr. Jimmie C. for his kindness in bringing his horse to him. It is no use talking about starvation now while "possum and taters" last and old Rush doesn't take hydrophobia. One of our near neighbors picked out ne day not long since, with eight ands, 1,700 pounds of cotton. The pickers were all white except two. The day of the show was certainly the day of the rain too. S. P. B. CRIMINALS AT LARGE.-Newton Ren wick, Peter Williams and Press Gray, (co'), and Frank Elford (white), sen tenced by Judge Mackey at the last term of court to the Penitentiary for four years, are at large, having escaped from the stockade of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad some weeks ago. One of our Trial Justices, while riding along the road near town a few day~ ago, met Newvt. with a sixteen shooter on his shoulder. These convicts make their living by stealing, and we think it the duty of the railroad authorities who hired them and let them escape tc make some efforts to catch them. Aftei the county has been at the expense oi trying and convicting them, it is just S little too much that they should be turned loose on her again before theit sentence has fairly begun. Those whC hire convicts should be required to giv( bond to the State for their safe keeping and should be made to indemnify the State for every escape. If any effor: has been made on the part of the rai road authorities to recapture these con viets, we have not heard of it. If th< proper efforts were made they coul be recaptured. We hope they are no waiting on the officials here; it is no their duty. Newton Renwvick and some others o the gang have been after Simne Aull Sime is the negro who testified agaims Newt. and who can tell a "black dog' tracks" when he sees them. He wa shot in the arm not many nights ag< by Newt. Judge Davenport, charged with mur dering his step-child, and for whom thb (Thvernor has offered a reward of $100 ABOUT TIE TOWN AND COUNTY. If there is'any one thing that New berry can excel in it is mud. The new awning on Mollohon Row - looks quite city-like. Wright's cooking stoves at cost are going off like hot-cakes-that's right. With boots which look as if never blessed with a 'shine' we report more mud. Ex-Sheriff John J. Carringtori has gone West to grow up with the coun try. Mr. E.. W. Thomasson, auctioneer, has returned to this town to engage in the business of auctioneering. The nian who spent his last seventy five cents to hear Sol. Smith Russell Saturday night, laughed~ and grew poor. Wright's Hampton Stoves will soon be on the market. Made expressly for this market they, are now receiving the finishing touch: The State Fair engrosses the mind of all except those of our citizens who are hunting filthy lucre. Large numbers are going down. Wood is now in order-those who cannot pay for their paper in any other way are advised to haul in at once or they will be hauled over the coals. A farmer told us the other day that it cost him just ten cents a pound to get his cotton ieady for market. He fears he will never get rich at the pres ent prices. Stnokey Town is a healthy and lively section. A cordial invitation is ex tended its inhabitants to bring us more oats and corn. There is a lull just now in matrimo nial affairs, but indications point to a lively business soon. The little folks about Newberry are already beginning to ask how many days till Christmas. We hope they will have a good time when it comes. Wanted, every man who owes any thing to the HERALD to come in and settle. Wanted, a hundred or more new subscribers before Christmas. Wanted, orders from merchants and business men generally in Newberry to print bill heads, letter heads, circulars, cards, etc., at bottom prices. Wanted, a greater demand for sta tionery of all kinds at our Herald Book Store. Assortment large-prices cheap. Wanted,-not only by us but every body-debts to be paid, truth to be told, and people to face the music like honest men. There was a lively time in the fish market one day last week. Mr. White received two barrels, Mr. Marshall one and Mr. Baird one. Everybody had fish to fry, and consequently there was much happiness in this section. PO3IARIA LocALS. Mr. J. W. Folk and Rev. Mr. Hough. attended the Sunday School Convention at Lexington on Tuesday and Wednes day of last week. Doubtless, they high ly enjoyed themselves among those extremely hospitable people, although the weather was very disagreeable. Thos. W..Holloway, Esq., is credited by report with having about six acres of corn that will prob)ably shell out a bushel to each hundred ears. The Hon. Jno. C. Hope still watches paternally over the interests of Hope Station. Among other benefits, he re cently effected a reduction of twventy five cents per bale in the freight on cotton. A great many wild geese are reported as migrating into the neighborhood of Meyer's Mill on Broad river. Suggested that the fishermen take their guns with them-and a wagon for the geese. The above reminds us of the predic tion of our scientists, that the ineoming winter will be an extremely severe one. The following is an exhibit of the number of gallons of sirup made in this immediate vicinity :-With Dr. Berly's mill, 286; Mrs. Jno. Riser's, 150; J. WV. Folk's, about 75; J. D. Wedaman's, 260. Total, about 771 gallons. A very correct idea of our educational status, within four miles of Pomaria, may be gleaned from the following The ecclesiastical election hel at Bethlehem Church on Sunday last re sulted as follows: Messrs. P. Sligh, Ja cob Setzler, J. A. Cannon, G. A. Setz er (M.D.), J. A. Riser, WV. F. Koon, Geo. Leitzey, J, D. Wedaman, J. D. Suber, Win; D. Bundrick, J. WV. Folk, and Wade H. Setzler. The first four are elders; the rest, deacons. Our brave and talented young Poma rian, Lieut.-Col. D. A. Dickert, will re view and address the "Pomaria Rifles" at Bethel Academy on Saturday next, at 2 P. M.; and-he probably cannot be heard beyond three miles. Come with in that distance, at least. Remember the Fair in Columbia on Tuesday next. The supply of water will be quite unlimited. REPORT OF THE SCHOOLS. Bethel, white-D. B. Busby, teacher ; enrollment. 27; average attendance, 15. St. James', colored-D. J. Simmons, teacher; enrollment, 17; average attend ance about 12. St. Paul's, white-closed at present from a want of patronage. Mt. Hebron, colored-Sarah Sim mons, teacher; average attendance about 8. Zion, white-closed at present from want of patronage. Metts', wvhite-Rev. Geo. A. Hough, teacher; average attendance about 10. Hope's, white-closed at present from want of patronage. Hope's, colored- -. GrifBle, teacher, average attendance about 13. Within the territory supplied by these schools there are estimated to be three hundred children that ought to attend school. Against this number, the whites -have an average attendance of about 25; the colored about 3.3; making a gratnd total of about 58, which is in the neigh borhood of one-fifth of the school p)opula tion. Considering this startling dispro portion as an index to the concealed poverty of a people that were but a few years since comparatively wealthy, we are overwhelmed with sadness; con sidering it as the result of nothing but negligence and indifference, we hold >that it cannot be too deeply lamented nor severely censured. All must surely - know that the country schools are the Sbest palladiums of the liberties of the cmmon people;- and see, even in the educational assistance; if the result of negligence and indifference-it is per haps utterly useless to write, as the clearly articulated voices of seventy thunders could not correct it, much less a newspaper paragraph. Our colored citizens are discussing the Liberian movement with words some thing like the foilowing:-"I desire to go, when convenient; for I have heard there are many pancakes growIng on the trees, molasses by the lake-full, palms that produce ruin, brandy. whis key, and various other kinds of refresh ing drinks according to the particular vein penetrated by the auger, and, finally, a great abundance of opossums just overhead, so that, while reclining under the sbade of the trees, one only has to reach up his hand, feel their ribs, and choose out such as are fattest and fittest to be eaten." We cannot but contrast this contem plated exodus with that of Go''s chosen people in the days of the Pharaohs, and feel that history is herein clearly re peating. Both these people were from the east; both brought into bondage by a mixture of avarice and humanity; both betrayed and sold in their youth by brbthren; both introduced by a trading people different from their mas ters; both in the beginning associated with famines whicb are then mentioned, we believe, for the last time; both be gan bondage with a few families; both rapidly increased to about three and four million, respectively; both lived in bondage the same number of years, the former having settled in Egypt in the year 1863 B. C.; and departed 1648 B. C.; the latter having been generally introduced and slavery recognized about 1648 A. C., and proclaimed free from bondage in 1863 A. C. Moreover, the Israelites at the time of their exodus consisted of twelve tribes, besides the Levites, which were not numbered; likewise in the late war there were twelve States which contended for slavery besides Kentucky, which was barely counted; again, both Egypt and the South mourned over the almost total destruction of their bravest. and ..their best" before they suffered the manu mission of their bondsmen; both peo ple went eastward, and at the very be ginning across water; both totally un prepared for the journey; both wholly dependent upon God for transportation across the waters; both returning into the land of their fathers-a land by all parties admitted to be "flowing with milk and honey," but filled up with fierce and warlike tribes. There are various other very striking points of similarity that we need not mention. What two millions or more of our colored population, instructed practi cally in almost every art of the age by the closest contact for a hundred years with- the whites, and inured from their cradles to the most constant labor, may not accomplish in the mighty heart of the African peninsula, no human tongue can say ; but to its there rises up in imagination, if these people will but be true to themselves, a majestic African Republic, stretching out its richly laden arms in gratitude to ours for its exis tence.

Bernard, Wilmington, N. C., $1.50 per annum. The Lost Cause. A beautiful picture, happily conceived and artistically executed. The sun has departed as though to withdraw his face from the sad scene.

The picture will excite the symn pathy of every Southern heart. It is 14x1 8 inches, on heavy plate paper. Sent postpaid n receipt of 25 cents; 3 for 60 cents. Address,- HILL & CO., Nov. 7, 45-2t. Gainesville, Ga. No Excuse for any One Being Out of Employment. Our attention has been called to some new and useful cooking utensils, recently invent ed which make baking and cooking a pleas ure; instead of a dreaded necessi.ty. One of wh ich, the Patent Centennial Cake and Bread Pan, made of Russia iron, is so constructed that you can remove your cake when baked, instantly from the pan, without breaking or injuring it, and you can remove the tube, and convert it into a plain bottom pan, for baking jelly or plain cakes, bread, etc. Ano ther-the Kitchen Gem-a plated wire boiler or steamer to hang inside of an ordinary iron pot, for boiling or steaming vegetables, etc., which when done, can be removed perfectly dry,,.without lifting the heavy sooty iron pot off of the stove, avoiding the danger of burning the hands with the steam in pour ing off the hot water, and the vegetables can not possibly Durn if the water boils dry, as the steamer does not touch the bottom.of the pot. These goods are sold exclusively through agents to families, and every house keeper should by all means bave them. A splendid opportunity is offered to some re liable lady or gentleman canvasser of this county to secure the agency for a pleasant and profitable business. For terms, terri tory, etc., write to L. E.

It represents a Confederate soldier after the war returning to his home, which he finds ruined by shot and shell, looking lonely and desolate. In front of the ruined cottage, telling a sad tale of the miseries of war, are two graves with rude crosses, on one of which some friendly hand has hung a garland. The graves are overhung by a weeping willow, in the shadow of which stands the returned soldier with bowed head, as if thinking of the past. To the right the calm river and rising moon indicate peace and rest. The stars seen through the trees represent the Southern Cross, draped over the graves, an emblem of the Confederate flag as well as a harbinger of brighter days to come. The flood of glorious moonlight streaming through the trees and reflecting on the peaceful river adds to the sentiment and beauty of the scene and its surroundings. No description of this gem of art will do it jutie-it must be seen. It is a picture that will tonch every southern heart and should find a place in every southern home. It is 14 x 18 inches in size, on heavy plate paper. One copy will be sent by mail, in a paste board roller, to any address, post-paid, on receipt of 25 ets.; three copies for 60 ets., or six for $1, in currency or postage stamps.
