Hol loway. of our county. We would liie to see the poultry show and the encour agemnent in that direction. but we are not much in favor of the bench feature. We do not much beleeve in encouraging dog raising: "Col. T. W. Holloway, wh.. is always fertile in good ideas, makes the excel. lent suggest ion that a bench and poultry show should be held annually in Colum bia, arbout the last week ini February. Tne idea is a good one, and there would seem to be no reason why it should not be practicable to carry it out. Such ex hibitions are gaini.:g in popularity every year, and a successful one has latcly t,een held iin Atlanta and another is soon to be held ini Augusta. Columbia has peculiar advantages and every facility to be desired for such a show. Ir. coetld be held on the Fair Grounds, wvhere there is a commiodions building for the exhi bition of poultry already, and sufficient additional quarters could easily be pro vided, and sery likely the present build ings utilized by arrangement with the Agricultural Society. Such an exhibi. tioni woulil, of course, attract a large niumber of visitors to our city, and that, too, at a time when business resulting therefrom would be especially to be de fsired, as coming at a season otherwise dull. South Carolina has mutch lint poultry and mmany tine canines, and it is -certain a good show could be arranged and such as to attract people from all Iover tihe State, and be worthy of thteir Sattendance and patronage. Let out poultry fanciers and owners of tine dog~ etartc the ball a-rollinig.' If you want a presentt of any kind g or send your order to 3-22 ~ H UX-rs Bo0K STORE.

Many Newberrians have pleasant recollections of Dr. Burkhead's visit to Newberry about three years ago and the course of sermons preached by him in the Presbyteriani church wvhile here. The following correspondence appeared in the llERALD AND NEwS at that time: CAR D. MiR. E DITOR:-Will you give the fol lowing a lace in your muchel appreciated paper and oblige; NEWBET Y, S. C. March 16, 1885. REv. hR. BUBRKHEAD: DEAR Sx:-Will you please publish your sermuo-: preached hlere. either in book or pamphlet form, so all that have not had the pleasure of hearing them can get a copy to read. I think it would surelv accomplish great good, anid every family should have one. I amn satisfied there would be ready sale for them. Do this and you w ill greatly oblige. "MANY FRIENDS." KIND FRIENDS:-Not knowing the author o.! the above, I will answer through the~ press. I am embodying in book form thie main ideas delivered, and will publish as quickly as possible. But as I preach incessantly, I can only write by snatchles, consequently can not give any dlefliniK time of publicatiotn. Withl mnay thatnks for your appre Ic;ation, &e:. Very Respectfully Yutrs, J.

In accordance withl that request and ntumerous others of a similar nature, Dr. Bturkhead has had published thle sermons referred to, withi some alterations, in a tice book of :25; pages.

The movement of cotton since the olidays, has not been very emphatic, nit has been rather indefinite and haky. The whole number of bales sold ere since September 1st, now reaches ,G40.

D., has resigned lis St. Luke's charge, and accepted a all to the pastorate in Orangeburg ,ounty, recently vacated by the Rev. . II. Wilson. Mr. Hawkins' church -ouicil has accepted his resignation to ake effect about the 1st of February. We are truly sorry to lose thi: w:orthy )astor from our midst. We hope our oss will be his gain, and we can con cientiously commend himu to the good people of Orangeburg. The District Convention of the Y. M. 3. A., notwithstanding the inclemency if the weather, was decidedly a success. The different Associations were all rep resented. except Macedonia and New berry College. We have since learned hat there is now no Association at Newberry College. The exercises as published in the pro ramme, were of an interesting charac ter, and the discussion of the various topics was edifying and instructive. An earnest Christian spirit was clearly nanifested throughout the meeting. The address of "Welcome" by Rev. J. C. Boyd was a feeling effort, as well as the response by Mr. Mower. In fact every speaker and leader, -seemed to be filled with an earnest desire to do good, and to -have good done unto him. Mr. A. T. Jamison, State Secretary from Charles ton, was present and rendered very effi cient service, in leading, suggesting, ad vi,ing and explaining. He was contin nally plied with interrogatives from every part of the house, and when the qetstion box was opened it was really astonishingat the number and diversity of the questions. Some of the questions were rather knotty, and sometimes puz zled the Secretary to answer them, al though the great majority were pointed and showed an earnest desire to be en lightened. The delegates all expressed them selves as being well pleased with the convention, and as having learned mush, that-will be conducive in work ing in their respective Association. The Convention formulated and adopted a constitution, and elected per manent officers. The constitution pro vides for biennial meetings. The officers are: C. S. Mower, President; A. H. Kohn, Vice President; and A. E. P. Be denbaugh, Secretary. By an aet the last Legislature trial justices, who receive a salary, (which is $100 00) a:-e rnot allowed to charge for themselves any costs whatever in crimi nal actions. We fear that the Legisla ture in endeavoring to do away with one evil, has at least fallen into an error on the other hand. The costs in civil ac tions in a country like ours are merely nominal. Trial justices in small towns like Prosperity and Newberry cannot live by the office as the law now pro vides. Office rent and stationery will cost as miuch or more than the salary provides. We may be in error, but we greatly fear that under the present con struction of the law, that criminal ac tions will be few and far between, and acts of lawlessness will go unpunished. Men, nio matter in what position, are not going to work for accomniodation, even for the great commonwealth of South Carolina. YLBE. A Pleasant Musical. A pleasant musical was held in the parlor of the Crotwell Hotel on Monday night. Quite a number of young people had gathieredl andl the time wore smoothly along into the "wee sma" hours of the night before the party adjourned. E cellent music, in the shape of solos, duets, quartettes, quintettes, &c., was furinihed by Mrs. P. Robertson and Miss M;amie Holdbrook, on the piano. Mr. A. Spertiner, on the guitar, Mr. L. N.

We are glad to learn the meeting was success. We have a young man in our commu nity, that believe ii writing to his gir as well as calling to >ee her, as he ha been sending and receiving a letter daill during the past week. Could this b called courting on the wing, or on th sly, or is it courting at all? We have ju-t tinished reading a cop of the complete works of "John M.

M Do Men Sather Figs of Thistles? It is as reasonable to expect figs fro thistles as to look for good results wh< poor seeds are planted. If you plant acorn you cannot gather apricots, ai if you sow poor and old seeds you ca not have large and solid cabbage head: nor round and regular tomatoes, n perfect and juicy cainteloupes.
