My dear Journal: I am very sick-am better today, but not out of the woods by a long shot. I have every - possible atten tion from physicians and nurses. But I am afraid there is some other fel low who is as sick as I am who has not the attention I eujoy. So my mind turns towards that hospital we talked about last summer. That would make his chance and mine equal. Can we not begin that greatly needed work? Could not our church es receive offerings for it next Sun day-after urging liberal respo3nse by our members? There is one who can not be in the Sanctuary, but whose check will be if his head is hot. Our lodges of Masons, Odd Fel lows. Knights of Pythias and similar organizations are heartily requested to join this Christmas movement. It need only to start the thing, then Greenwood's great duty to the suf ferers will be done. Sincerely, Jio. 0. Wilson. The a- ove appeared in the Green wood papers last week. It is equally applicable to Newberry. Ex>cept in Newberry since the "still born" in cident we ;have not even heard a noise that sounds like a hospital. Of course we have all the secret organ izations mentioned by Dr. Wilson and they are all doing good and we believe would take up the hospital matter but it has been taken- charge of by a committee from the chamber of oonmerce. Maybe the movement will spring into new life with the dawn and growt;h of the new year. Let us hope so. - A town the size of Newberry could and should have a hospital ifall would only resolve to have it and then proceed to execute the resolution and not let it be "still born." ONCE MORE. We find that a very large propor tio~n of our subseribers owe from one to> several years for The H'erald and News. We are sending statements to all who have 'not paid to some time in 1.90S regardless of whether a re cent payment has been made or not for the pmipose of letting you know how you stand on our books and aiso to ask that you send us something on what you are due. More than 15,.0 subseribers are in arrears. You can readily see how even a small part of what you are due would in the ag gregate make a nice sum for us. We want to pay whiat we owe and will gladly do so if those who owe us - will pay what they are due. It is such a smali matter to each one that we cannot understand why you will put it off. We believe you intend to pay us. In our long expeIncne we 11Iave never ha;d ,but one subseriber who had taken the paper for a num ber of years to say he did not intend to pay for it. That happened only the other day. We 'shall take his name from ou-r list and leave the mat ter with him and his conscienee. Bu; the vast majority of the people are honest and will pay tiheir debts. .Just now we need money and need it to meet our obligations and we intend this to be an earnest appeal to those wh~o have read The Herald and Ne.ws for many years to come forward and pay what they are due. 'By doing this you can do urs a great service and simply diseharge an hion est obligation. We dislike to' refer to this matter in 'the paper -and do not do it often, but we want to im press you with the faot that we would like to have you give heed to our statements whiceh are being mail ed to you. As before stated those out-of-the cGumIy subscribers who pay no heed to our requests and who are more than a year in arrears will receive no maore cop,ies of the paper after this issue. We have been lorig suffering and patient and no response to our requests will be evidence that you do not care for the paper or appreciate its visits. We would like to continue our visits but we must have some sub stantial evidence of your aipprecia ttion. 'Kindly let us hear from you and thus make glad our heart ind we will forthwith keep thre currency in cir eulatin by turning it over to some one who holds our obligation. We hope every one of our readers may have a happy and prosperou New. Year and live many years to enjoy the regalar visits of The Hecald and News. TWO TRAINS OFF.

"God having of oid time spoken un t'o the fathers in thre .prophets b,y di vers portions and in divers manners, hath at the end of these days spoken uto us in His Son.'"-Hb. 1:1, 2. In Memoriam. Little Johnn'ie Earle, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. 'Stohman, of Little Mountain, S. C., was born July 19, 1905, and died October 17, 1907. Little Earle was just at that age to make him dear to his parents and sis ters. But God 'loved him best; His will be done, not ours. Earle leaves o mourn a father, mother and five sisters. He also leaves a twin sister. Oh, how they will miss him, but weep 'not, fond parents and sisters, lititle Earle is resting sweetly where no sor row, grief or pain can disturb him. Dearest Earle thou hast left us, And the v'acan't place can n'e'er be filled; Bt. we hope some day to meet tihee, In that blessed home above. Oh, dear Earle, thou wast lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening, When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our sorrows shall know. Writvten by his Aunt, December. 1907. L. S.
