A man stepped into a drug store the other day and called for a bottle of Norman's "Naturalizing" Cordial. lie had forgotten the word Neutralizing and certainly substituted a good one as it assists Nature in bringing the .system to its natural condition. The City of Augusta. Mr. H. C. Gereke, Augusta, Ga. highly recommends Norman's Neu tralizing Cordial as the best, most pleasant and the most harmless fam Ily medicine in existence.

In other words the tele phone office here will be conducted as it is in Columbia and other cities. It will have an office which will be kept and supported by the Columbia office, with a largely paid officer to manage it, and not as heretofore by a self-constituted agent. The telephone here will now be a success. The HERALD is in line of progress. Mr. Charles M. Caughy, a gentle of fine accomplishments for several years editor of the Every tday, and well known in the community, will commence a course of illustrated lec tures of travel, at Frederick, Md., next Tuesday evening, and has engage ments for various other town s in this State and Pennsylvania.

Since the celebrated Boston Tea Party, few events of the kind have een as interesting as the Japanese rea Party and hot supper,*given by the ladies of the Episcopal Church, last Friday evening. The occasion fur nished the novel spectacle of Japan 6'come to town," there being, however t conspicuous absence of Japanese nen. The costumes were odd-looking, ad, we may almost say, Japanese; hogh about that there seems to be ame doubt-which must not be too penly expressed. They presented too ny salient points for the point of a eporter's pencil, and they wvere of ~uffiient variety to indicate that apan, too, is on her knees, meta horically, of course, before Mrs.Fash on. We cannot account for the ab ence of Japanese men other wise than y the suggestion, thait Leap Year rings a social revolution to Japan and emands the men to seclusion. The tea booth, post office and art allery were arranged with much taste, and lent additional charms to the oc asion. The art gallery, separated from the surrounding space by screens and curtains, wa presided over by iss Wortham, of Virginia, the artist ;ho arranged it. It provoked much irth and afforded not a little enjoy ent. Here the lover of art paid ten ents for the inestimable privilege of seeing-himself sold. The mention of wo or three pictures (subjects) will serve to illustrate the general charac er of the gallery : "Fireside Scenes" -shovel and tongs. "The Lay of the [ast Minstrel"-an egg. "Youthful [mpressions"-a bundle of switches. Wie had thought of writing fully and inutely about other features of the arty, but a friend who Is au fait in such matters, whispers that Japanese ropriety abhors prolixity. So do we. The net proceeds of the entertain. ent were about $80. Jalapa Items. Rain and plenty of mud again, well his is common, for this season of the ear, the roads in places are just wful. Our little streams were much swol , but did not assume the madness of te igantic Ohio ; one of our pill drivers ested the depth of dry creek.

Numbers Wounded. The following desultory but fearful accounts of the storm on Tuesday night, have been furnished us by piecemeal, and we have no doubt that there is much behind yet to be heard from. We trust not however. As it is the fearfulness is horrible, and be ing the first and only storm of equal severity that has ever visited this Count-, makes it the more serious to us. Newbeiry neees take her place along with suff'ering sections of the North and West. The wind was fearfully high Tues day night, beside a thunder storm and heavy rain kept it company. On the Hon. Geo. Johnstone's place, known as the Garlington place, three miles from town a new building was blown from Its pillars, and an old log cabin in which were six negroes was blown down and destroyed. btrange to say the ne groes were unhurt, but their fright was manifest in the screams which followed. The negro man who occupied the neiv building, i,n great di;tress searched for his infant child, which he found sit on the hearth, which was once in the house, but now unprotected froln the wind and rain-out of doors. We are told that in the viciity of Boston, the storm was severely felt, and that much hail fell. The next damage we hear was at Jeff Gallman's where all the fencing was blown down and several houses unroofed. The course then was East, at J. B Hellers every house was blown down and great damage done to fen eing, &c. Mr. Win. Heller's dwelling house was blown down, Mr. Hellar and one of his children being somewhat injur ed by falling timbers. The farm of Colonel Gus Dick ert suffered severely. His gin house and all h-s other houses, were blown down. The dwelling house was not blown down, but was injured, having the chimneys damaged. The damage to Col. D'ckerts place is estimated at $600. The storm seemed to cross Broad river at Col Dickerts place, and our informant says he could see the appearance of lire, as if a house or houses were being burned. A negro man was injured. Col. J. C. S. Brown reports the storm severe in his section, accompa nied with an unusual amount of hail. The hail was near the size of guinea eg-s. Fencing all damaged. 'happells demolished. The Cyclone struck Chappel's at 7 oclock, P. M., Tuesday and blew down the Depot, Post Office, and every building was entirely destroyed. A freight train standing on the track was blown thir ty or forty yards from the track to the north side. The Superintendant Mr. Shuford was killed and Mr. Bozeman had his right arm and left leg broken. Some five or six negroes who were up stairs in one of the houses escaped with some hurts and bruises. Every house in the place was lite rally swept away, while every inhabi tant thirteen in all was more or less wounded. Mrs. Simpkins mother of our towns man L. W. Simpkins, living in the vi cinity of Chappells, suffered severely by the storm, having her arm broken and otherwise injured. We have no definite information as to the extent of damage done the place. We hear that some damage was done near Ninety-six and also at Silver Street in this County. At Mr. Micajah Suber's chimneys were blown downD, and the dwelling house damaged; a large dairy was overturned; and fences and pahings were leveled with the ground. St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, our informant says, was blown down, and the oak grove in which it stood very seriously damaged. Personal. Miss Katie Boinest, of Pomaria, is visiting relatives in Charleston. Mr. Ira B. Jones has been spendiug sone time in Newberry. Miss Pierce, of Columbia is visiting Miss Rose Davis of our City. We are glad to know that Mr. Tabb is still improving. Mr. George Johnstone is at Lexing ton attending Court. Miss Mary Thompson, is visiting Dr. Moore of Columbia. Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell has gone to Greenville on a professional engage ment., Mr. and Mrs. Thomason are on a visit to his wife's old home in Abbe ville. Capt. 0. L. Schumpert went on Tuesday up to Greenville on profes sional business. Miss Mary McCaw and Miss Sadie Livingston, of Abbeville, are visiting the family of Capt. Mazyck. Mr. Belton Werts has so far recov ered from his attack of Paralysis as to be able to walk abort. Miss Mattie McIntosh is visting friends in Laurens. She went up on Thursday last. Mr. Frank Baxter is bringing in the lumber and will commence repairs on the Court room soon. The number of liens up to this time are about on an everage with former years. The Messrs. Aull will begin put ting up the shelving in Wr (hmt's new Mollohon buildings, in a few days. The Council are putting down an el egant brick drain, and covering it with cement, on Adams street. The store room, formerly occupied by W. H. Jones, is being fitted up for dry goods. Mr. J. Hartwell Blease's friends are pleased to see him on the streets again. He has had a long and painful attack of rheumatism. We were pleased to see Mr. B. Epting, of Pomaria, in town last Monday. Mr. Epting has just returned from the Medical Institution of Charleston. Mr. Thos. Dnekett of Ninety-Six was in town last week, as genial andl peasant as of old. We are glad to see that our old friend wears so well. Mr. Eb. Blease has removed to Col umbia with the design of making it his future home. The Columbians will find Eb. a young man of pluck and energy. Mrs. Turnipseed o)f Greenville is vis iting her numerous friends in New berry, and will remain until the merrie month of May. Mr. Burr Johnstone, who is attend ing the Sonth Carolina College at Col umbia, spent a few days of last and the first of this week at home. Mrs. J. M. Sill has gone to Augusta, Ga., to be with her daughter, Mrs. Ida Kaphan, who is quite ill with pneumo nia. She was however improving at last accounts. Mrs. Ed. Scholtz r'it Al yestierday from her home at Flu inT, N ew York. She will no- doubt be pleased with the and eral up @ Sniffles in Youth. As a Lover. Like most boys when just budding or when my mustache was just puttinq out an appearance, I felt my oats, an< was altogether an important character I had oodles of fatncies, I was a ladie man, and I say right here I'd rather b< a ladies man than any other kind of man. A man or rather a boy wh< holds the ladies in such esteem that hi would rather spend his time in theii sweet society will rarely ever fall int< evil ways-the influence they exercis( over youth is wonderful. A boy whi is blessed with sisters is a better bo3 and makes a better man than one wh< has no sisters. He grows up refined but the other fellow becomes rongh, h< is wild and "fit for treasons, stratagem. and spoils." I was blessed with siz ters. 1 said I had fancies, all kinds o! fancies. One of these was that ever% thing in my reach and some thing not in my reach but needed my reach ing after them, and they would be mine. Innocent fancy. How bright and rose colored the prospect. HoN sweet every thing looked aud smelled. What a reacher I was, like a habe. I ever reached. Most of mv reachi:g at this period was to get into the afec tions of the girls, oh how I loved them. I fell in love with one, in my eyes she was a paragon, I don't know how she looked to other eyes. She had a hiteh in her walk, and she had the advan tage of me in years, one of her limbs was a little longer than the oth(r, which one was the shortest I cannot now call to mind. but it was jist love ly to see her (lot and go one, and every step she took made me think she would fall, and I was ever on the reach to catch her. She was freckled too, all over freckle; when the blood would siiffu!e her cheek it would impart' an additional charm to each freckle, abd then her hair was of that hue which i seen only on a carrot, in fact she had a vegetable countenance, in which sat a turoip nose. She was lovely-suflice it to say, I loved her. But she loved me not as the sequel will show-we walked one evening, we frqnently did so. In our walk was a seller of pies and other things. Like most girls she had an appetite and wanted me to treat her, but alas I had no money, and in the most sentimental manner, "says I my charming honey, I've lots of love as you may prove, but I ain't got no money." This should have sat isfied her, and it did, but not in a way satisfactory to me, for turning on me her radish eyes, she said Young man, tis plain sir, My love you cannot gain sir, Unless you've cash to cut a dasb, Your love indeed is vain sir. At this like an unfeeling Bohemian she left me. It was cruel, and my heart bled-but it stopped bleeding. This was not my first, nor my last love however. I was filled with the thought that there was a "rose in the garden for you young man." The sweetest period in the life of a man is the courtia period. Those periods were very fre quent with me. My heart was pecu liarly susceptible to love. The sight of a girl set me in a flutter. I was al ways fluttering. Hundreds of times have I been on the mountain of hope, and as many times in the valley of despair, and I could now tell of scores of instances, in many of which my pas sion was unrequited, but I have said enough on this point for one time. That I survived all these affairs of the heart, and continued to reach is very satisfying to me. r still reach and have fancies, but they are tempered with other thoughts, the principal of which is how to get bread and meat and clothes for the children who have successively blessed my existence. Explanatory. Our Prosperit y friends and readers are under the impression that we have with drawn the proposition to furnish the HERALD to elubs of twenty at $1,50 each. We make this explanation :For years this club has existed, but latterly has been allowed to grow into disuse. A short time ago we renewed it by notifying our agent, Mr. Bowers, te ive written notice at his office to that effect. For reasons we care not to ex plain we withdrew the proposition, and Mr. Bowers acted in accordance with our instruction-the club was stopped. Since theai we have had rea son to again give our friends the priv ilege of this favornble rate. The cl now exists and h:.y b een running for:a week or two, but ith fhis additional advantage; that i.. toad of requirinig club to consist of t wenty names, it car be made of fire nams only. Tfhis is at easier way of accomnplishing the end and better for subscribers. Ant further the getter up of a club will b4 given an elegant gilt edged copy o either of the books here nanmed: Heman's, By ron, Cowpcr, Milton Moore, Hoo', Scott, Wordsworth & Tennyson, Ladies' Book of Flow ers, Gentlemen's Guide to Politeness, Polite Corre spondence, Poetry o: Flowers, F: iry Land, Sut Lovin good, Guy \Mannering, Rhymes & Puzz!e~s, Children of the Abbey, Don Quixotte, Rol,nson~ Crusoe, &c., &e. And further, this club rate is nol offered simply to our friends at Pro.s perity, but to every man or woman ii the county, and out of the county every one, no matter where, can cnte> the lists and secure a most beautifu book at a very little trouble, and n< expense. This explanation is due to oun friends through the county, and we tins that the friendly intercourse which has existed between us and them foi twenty-flve years may continue with out interruption. The Books enumerated above can be seen at the HERALD Book 3t. Time to Stop. It's too bad, Sir or Madam, but dIon' get frightened. Your hair is fallin; off-that's certain. A glance in the mirror, or an investigating committe< of fingers tell the dlismal story. We won't discuss the pe ssible cause. It i enough that Park.er's Hair Balsan used now will prevent further de struction. Is i-our hair somewha gray too, and crisp ? Alas, yes. Th< Balsam will give back the origina color, softness and gloss. Not a dye not oily, elegantly perfumed, a perfec dressing. Feb. 1-lm. Various and A11 About. Almost everyday there is a rush at Winburn's Gallery. 2-tf Much cooler since Thursday night. r Perhaps it was because the wizard oil men have gone. Farmers say that the warm days are improving the appearance of the oat crop amazingly. When you come to town go to Win burn's Gallery and get your picture taken. -2-tf. A cynical old bachelor says that "lovers are like armies; they get on very well until the engagement be rgins."7 Major Jones says that Brewer's Lung Restower is the most reliable throat and lung reme(ly in the world, and we believe he is right. The Ex-Sheriff of Iredell County, N. C., Mr. F. Watson, says : "Brown's Iron Bitters has improved my digestion an(d general health." Somebody says "virtue dwells at the head of th. river." Guess an appro priation had better be made soon to improve the navigation of that stream. Get your gardens ready. Many things ought to be planted now. Dark of the moon for Irish potatoes, beats, onious. &c. It is rumored that a negro was run over by the train Tuesday at Laurens C. It. He was not (lead at last ac counts. Mr. A. J. Maybin, one of the cotton weighers at this place has weighed and marked 7410 bales of cotton from Sept. 1st 'S3 to Feb. 1st 1884. There is a man in the Mississippi Legislatuie whose name is Christmas. We venture to say that he is the most largely loved man in that section. When Winburn came to Newberry he (lid not expect to stay but a short while, and he is here yet, but will move soon, come and be taken. 2-tf There are three thitigs we like: well tilled adverti,ing columns, a large sub scription list, and prompt paying ratrons. The Hon. R. S. Stephens will accept our thanks for a copy of the speech of Hon. Roswell P. Flower, in the House of Representatives on the Tariff Com mission. Those young Misses looked well on iors.-back Friday evening, but it would be advisable to learn how to ride and manage old Dobbin before taking Main street. There will not be so much tea drank hereafter, as every one who attended the Japanese Tea Pr v will drink the beverage fron one o. diminutive tea cups sold on that occasion. A chronic fault finder says, "what millions of time lovers waste." Sup pose they do, whose business is it. Young lovers usually take time to waist-if it is a small one. The most reliable agent for destroy ing and expelling worms from chil dren and adults is Shriner's Indian Vermifuge, 25 cents a bottle. Try it. Every bottle guaranteed to give satis faction. For sale by Dr. S. F. Fant. - A rather cynical lady, somewhat of a flirt, says most men, like colds, are very easily caught but difficult to get rid of. Her mistake is apparent.

We live, too, along side of neighbors who re ceive themi in quantities from head quarters. Messrs. Bowman & Math ewes and Walter received a box of beauties lately. Some Mondays are known as "blue" Mondays. Last Monday wvas anything but "blue" to the HEBALD Office, many subscribers coming forward with their dues, while there were some who paid for two years. How cheering and refreshing is this. The State Agricultural Society has effected arrangements for obtaining several thousand copies of the view of the State lately published by the News and Courier. The proper distribution of this important document will be productive of immense good, and we shall soon see the fruit. It appears to the mind of this re porter that the novels which hereto fore were presented to the public in yellow covers are now produced in igreen, white, pink, and some even in isubdued mouse color. The matter un ,der the covers remains unchanged. I The objectionable covers are removed and the nublic breathe easier.

I thought I knew I knew it all, But now, I must confe-ss, The more I know T know I know 'I know I know the les3. The hugest work ever before begun in Newberry is our great big cotton mill. Its complletion is a "consumma tion devoutly wished." We want to hear the jingle jangle, the bang the rattle, and the whir and whiz of its thou . sands of spindles. In plain words we want to see the "veels go wound." ,President McCaughrin will be there ethen, and his pulses will start at that 1 time. To see and hear all this will ytransport us in memory to the great Industrial show in Philadelphia, in '76 ; e. machinery Hall, its miles of belting tand shafting and its grand Corliss en ;gine, the size, the lhke and the make e of which never seen before, will then be - called to mind, and in fancy we will be there again. SDo not place old bottles into new wine, in other words do not murder a, good old hymn by singing it to a new fangled tune, as is sometimes done. The good old fashioned tunes are t good enough for us, and there is a pe i culiar fitness in certain tunes to cer Stain words. We love that fitness ; per haps it may be called idiosyncrasy on our part. or we may be termed old fo i gies, but nevertheless we stand to it. S"Its natur." Sonme of these old tunes - are as familiar to us as thre nose on our t face, and we don't like to have them Splaced on a back seat. Don't do it, I any more, an you love us.
