I am very sick?am beOter today, but not- ouI of the woods by a long shot. .[ have every possible attention from physicians and nurses. But I am afraid there is some other fellow who is as sick as I am who has not t,Jie attention I enjoy. .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, "really needed work / Could not our churches receive olteriiigs for it next Sunday alter urging liberal response by our members! There is one who canmil be in I lie Sanctuary, but whose check will I?. if his head is hot. Our Indies ol' .Masons. Odd Fellows, kuights <?l' I'ylhias a.id similar oriraiiizalinns are heartily requested lo ,j<?in litis ('hrist'mas movement, II need onl,\ In start (lie thing, then (Ireen wood's ureal duly to I lie sufferers will be done. Sincerely, Jno. 0. Wilson. The above appeared in the Greenwood papers last week. It is e(|ually applicable lo Newberry. Kxcept in Newberry since the "still born" incident we ihave not even heard a noise that sounds like a hospital. Of course we have all the secret organizations mentioned by Dr. Wilson and I hey are all doing* good and we believe would take up the hospital mailer but il has been taken chargo of by a committee from I lie chamber of commerce. Maybe I he movement will spring in I o new life with tire dawn an?l ?row<th of I lie now year. Lei us hope so. A town I In.1 size of Newberry could and should haw a hospital if all would only resolve to have ii and then proceed lo execute I he resolution ami m>| lei il be "still born.'' ONCE MORE. We find that a very larire proportion of our subscribers owe from one to several years for The Herald and News. We are sending statements lo :i!I who hiive iiul paid lo some iinu in I DOS regardless ol' whether a recent payment has been made or not for I he purpose of letting you know how you stand on our books ami also to ask I hat \ on send lis s met hing on i what you are due. More than I;">()() subscribers are in arrears. You can readily see how even a small par'. | of what you arc due would in the an- i gregjale make a nice sum for us. We' want to pay what we owe and will i gladly do so if tiio.-e who owe us will pay what I hey are due. Il is such a small matter to each one that we cannot understand why you will put it off. We believe you intend to pay us. la our long experience we * have never had but one subscriber who had taken I he paper for a number of years lo say he did nol intend to pay for it. That happened only the other day. We shall lake his j name from our list and leave the mat- | tcr with him and his conscience, line j the vast majority of the people arc j honest and will pay t'aoir debts. Just now we need money and treed it to meet our obligations and we | intend this to be an earnest appeal to those who have read The Herald I and News for lminy years lo come ! forward and pay what I hey are due. j By doing this you can do us a great service and simply disnharge an honest obligation. We dislike lo rufcr; to this mailer in the paper and do! not do it often, but we want to im- j pr.if s yon wlitli the 1'aiM that we; would like lo have you give heed to ' our statement's which are being mail-! ed to you. As before stated those out-of-the- ! county subscribers who pay no heed ! to our requests and who are more than a year in arrears will receive no .lnoiv copies of the paper alter this issue. We have been long 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 substantial evidence of your appreciation. Kindly let us hear from you and thus make glad our heart and we will forthwith keep tbe currency in circulatin l>\ turning it over to some one who holds our obligation. We hope every one of our renders may have a happy and prosperous New Year and live many years to enjoy the regular visits of The Herald and News. i TWO TRAINS OFF.
