The W. Brooks Rice lands, recently recovered by F. F. Jones in a suit, were sold at public auction before the court house herein Tuesday as advertised. Most of w v the lands were bid in by Mr. Jones himself, at what we would consider very high prices. The F. J. Summers tract was bought by Summers for $150, and the tract known as the Bamberg lands, containing fifty-three acres, was bought by Dr. S. D. M. Guess for $1,565. The bids on all of the other tracts amounted to about $30 per acre but Mr. Jones bid them in himself. It was not the fault of this office that t; - ~ The Herald was not printed as usual last Wednesday afternoon. We were ready to print in time to catch the afternoon mail, but on account of some trouble with the dynamos at the cotton mill we i -m. ?* ???:i rpi,n? were nui auie iu get punw umu muisday morning. As soon as we get our engine set up, we hope there wiM be no more delays. We would have bad it run- i ning this week had we been able'to get a workman to build the brick foundation r for it to rest on. We know our subscribers were disappointed by the delay last week, but it could not be helped. r , v. - c :;: v. December Honor Boll.

Edison once told a friend the story of his first acquaintance with any big sum of money. It was when he was struggling with his earlier inventions, and he had about as clear an idea of the value of a bank check as the man in the moon. He had finally sold his patent on the gold and stock indicator to the Western Union Telegraph company and had called at its office to close the deal. After a few preliminaries he was given a check foi |40,000. He eyed it curiously and appeared to be puzzled what to do with it Observing his perplexity, General Lefferts, then president of the Western Union, told him that if he would go to the Bank of America, in Wall street he could get the cash on his check. "So I started," said Edison, "after carefully folding up the check, and went 'toward Wall street. So uncertain was I in regard to that way of doing business that I thought while on the way that if any man should come up to me and offer me two crisp $1,000 bills for that piece of paper I would give him the check very quickly." On his arrival at the Bank of America he half tremblingly shoved his check out to the cashier. The latter scrutinized it closely, gave him a piercing glance and said something which Edison, being hard of hearing, failed to understand. That was enough. He was fully convinced that his check was not worth $40,000 and again thought as he rushed out of the bank that any man who would give him $2,000 for it could have it He hurried back to the office of the Western Union and said he could not get any money. A clerk was sent to the bank with him to identify him. "This man," said the clerk, "is Mr. Thomas A. Edison, to whose order the check is drawn." "Why, certainly, Mr. Edison," said the cashier. "How would yon like your money?in what shape?" "Oh, any way to suit the bank; it doesn't make any difference to me, so long as I get my money." Edison was given $40,000 in large bills. After dividing the roll into two wads of $20,000 each he stuffed one into each trousers pocket and made all speed out of Wall street The next day he began work on his first New York laboratory.?Success. JAPANESE PROVERBS. There is no miracle in true doctrine. Human life is like the dew of the , morning. The fallen blossom never returns to tiie branch. There is no shore to the bitter sea of Birth and Death. Never let go the reins of the wild colt of the heart One confession effaces the sins of even three years. Only by reason of having died does one enter Into life. With one hair of a woman yon can tether even a great elephant ' Even the touching of sleeves In passing Is caused by some relation In a former life.?Lafcadio Beam's "In Ghostly Japan." Washington'* Father. By father, Augustine, has been described as a good planter and a man of energy. I apprehend that he was of a serious tendency, for Lawrence, my brother, once gave me to understand that most of the few books at Wakefield were religious, but whether this was so or not I do not know. Like some of the rest of us, my father had a high and quick temper, which, as he used to say, he had to keep muzzled. I remember being terrified at seeing him in a storm of anger because the clergyman who was to have baptized my sister Mildred was too much in liquor to perform the ceremony.?From 8. Weir Mitchell's "The Youth of Washington" In Century. *n>n Wnrat Wind of the World. "What is the worst wind of the world?" said the captain of a trading ship that pokes her nose In almost every spot of the world daring hei curious wanderings. "Well, I'll tel you first of other winds, so as to lead up to It artistically. I've been throng! a Kamchatka, which Is what the] call the storms of that country, and I've seen It blow drifts fifty feet hlgl In an hoar. I pat In three days In c typhoon, which is the great-grand father of all the hurricanes. It blev every sail out of the bolt ropes and swept the deck so dean that It looked as If It had been scraped. Down lr 8t Vincent, In the West Indies, I laj on the beach during a West Indlax hurricane, the black storm that sweep over the Caribbean, and I had to dig my hands Into the earth to hold tight "But worse than all these Is the wind that they call the woolly, or the willy or the willy willy, according to locality Vou get it at its best in the strait o! Magellan, but a great part of the coon try around the southern end of tin south temperate regions enjoys its blessings."?New York Press. . Pretty Customs of Japan. Japanese ladles are like the French in their love of social intercourse and conversation. They pay fewer visits, but stay infinitely longer, always two or three hours and sometimes a whole day. They are received by the maid, who places a large silk cushion foi them to rest upon, and mnch time is spent In detailed inquiries concerning each other's family. There is no special calling day in Japan. They Yisit when their fancy takes them, and the; never go empty handed to a friend's house. The gifts are usually fruit 01 flowers or perhaps a fresh fish, and whatever they take is always daintily wrapped In a little box of paper or wood. . .. . ' >. ;'r .
