Time to Stop. It's too bad, Sir or Madam, but don't get frightened. Your hair is falling off-that's certain. A glance in the mirror, or an investigating committee of fingers tell the dismal story. We won't discuss the possible cause. It is enough that Parker's Hair Balsam used now will prevent further de struction. Is your hair somewhat gray too, and crisp? Alas, yes. The Balsam will give back the original color, softness and gloss. Not a dye, not oily, elegantly perfumed, a perfect dressing. Feb. 1-Im. One Hundred. The rapid and large increase of pu pils in the Academy of Capt. Pifer must be gratifying to the accom plished Principal, and to the Board of Trust e"s. We learn that the number niow exceeds one hundred, and thzis in crease is evidence of two things, first the esteem in which as a teacher the Capt. is held, and secondly a larger and deeper interest in the cause of educa t.oou. The training and education of our girls cannot be too highly con sidered. Capt. Pife'r i -worthy the confidence shown him, and we have. just cause for pride when we look at the fine and large school now in such successful operation. A CHEROKEE REaiEnY.

R. was nearing a sharp curve on the road between Chappell's anld Saluda z4 man was discovered on the track. The train was tob near to be stopped in time, and the man made no effort to leave the track or get out of the wa A4s a consequence he was killed instantly. One who saw him afterward says the body looked as if every bone in it. hadl been' broken. He was a tramp) wiho hadl bien about town here Saturday and gave his ntame as Hayes, said he was fronm Georgia, and had walker'. all the way to Columbia, S. C. to see a Penitentiatry. He had always wanted to see one before he died. He wvas evidently a crank, his actions here so impJrced every 'one. ge also said he was going to the nsxt tuwn. Ed Greneker and his Velos. On Saturday afternoon, the week's work done, jobs all dlistributed. p)roofs of next week's work taken, sticks laid on their stands, hands paid off, Ed said, "pa, I believe I will wheel it out to Mr. Sligh's." Such a proposition startled us, we thought it impracticable, but not so, Ed , he is mad e up of the stuff which knows no fail ; he bade us good bye and started. We expected to spe hipi back again in sqe good mapts uggy with the wrec of Is machine packed in the bottomn. Our fears were groudless, lie returned Sunday after noon, right side up with care, having made the distance, seven miles, in one hour and a half's time. WhL. th~e condition of the roads are considere A, and the time taken in walking o01er bad places, we think that he mr Ie good time. This is the first trip -f that distance ever made by an amantf .r bicyclist in Newberry, and we consid er it worthy of mention. PQST OEFICE, NE wBEsag. C. E.,S6 C., Fcb.

Partes calling for letters will uesay Sabortied. L.W. BOO ,P. . Explanatory. Our Prosperity friends and readers are under the impression that we have with drawn the proposition to furnish the HERALD to clubs of twenty at $1,50 each. We make this explanation : For years this club has existed, b.t latterly has been allowed to grow into disuse. A short time ago we renewed it by notifying our agent, Mr. Bowers, to give written notice at his office to that effect. For reasons we care not to ex plain we withdreiv the proposition, and Mr. Bowers acted in accordance with our instruction-the club was stopped. Since then we have had rea son to again give our friends the priv ilege of this favorable rate. The club now exists and has been running for a week or two, but with fhis additional advantage; that instead of req.iring a club to consist of twenty names, it can be made offire names onlh. This is an easier way of accomplishing the end. and better for subscribers. And further the getter up of a club will be given an elegant gilt edged copy of either of the books here named: Heman's. Byron, Cowper, Milton, Moore, Hood, Scott, Wordsworth & Tennyson, Ladies' Book .of Flowers, Gentlemen's Guide to Politeness, Polite Correspondence, Poetry of Flowers. Fairy Land, Stit Lovin good, Guy Mannering, Rhymes & Puzzles, Children of the Abbey, Don Quixotte, Robinson Crusoe. Ic., &c. And further, this club rate is not offered simply to our friends at Pros perity, but to every man or woman in the couilty, and out of the county, every one, no matter where, can enter the lists and 5ecure a most beautiful book at :. very little trouble, and no expense. This, explanation is due to our friends through the county, and we trust that the friendly intercourse which has existed between us and them for twenty-five years may continue w'th out interruption. The Books enumerated above can be seen at the HERALD Book Store. 3t. It only cost about $35 or 40 to get a Tavlor & Cox Fire Extinguisher. from C. E. Horton at Williamston, S. C.

We are Glad To bear from "Cousin Mattie''Boyd, and to learn she Is pleasantly located at the thriving and intelligent town of Leesville. Perhaps all do not know where Leesville is, and we impart the information-on the C. C. &. A. R. R. We are not surprised at her pleasant surroundings, there is an element.of happy content in the make up of Cousin Mattie which is infused into the nature of every one who comes into contact with her, and the conAcquene is that ha'pplness is supreme, and uni versa-it is all around her. And yet sh:e is not happy, and wvill not be comforted until the "HERALD" reaches hr at feesville.

They took hold of it with a vim and an energy which carried it right straight through, and a lesson might here be learned while will prove of future ben efit. We have a pretty opera house, and capable of seating just such a crowd as was induce< to enter it Monday night, and we cannot see the reason why it is not oftener so filled, nless it is that the proper efforts are not made.

We regret that this versatile and talented troupe see reason to change their base and leave us, and we sincerely hope that New berry will be in their rounds once again. The concert was indeed the best ever rendered in Newberry, and the gentlemen making up this troupe are generally and individually artists in instrumental andI vocal muic.

As usual in this old and pratcti cal farm journal, the reports of pro gressive farmers' clubs are a conspic uous part of its contents, and the ex periences of skillful and successful ag riculturists are thus passed around to thousands of readers.
