EVERYBODY TO KNOW THATI "REDUCED IS THE WORD" AT SMITH & WEARN'S ON CLOTHING. READ THEIR JAD. ~ tf The Weather. The winter so far has been a remark ably warm and pleasant one. For several weeks past the days have been ideal spring ones. Trees are budding and flowers blooming as if spring had come. Col. T. W. Holloway, of Pomaria, writes as follows to the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier: "The continued warm weather is becoming serious to the farmers. Those who killed hogs have lost the joints. I have heard of some whose meat lay in the pickle for six weeks or over, and when thejoints were taken out it was good, but a few days' exposure de veloped taint. I have fourteen fat hogs yet to kill and in the event the warm weather continues much longer, I propose to kill andI pickle in strong brine in barrels. The salt should be boiled, (taking off the scum,) and applied when about milk warm. The joints should be put in the barrel with the largeend downwards and the crev ices filled in with the sides cut in small strips. An aged lady of 80 years writes: 'I recollect well such a winter sixty-two y-ears ago-1827-28. No cold until ~about Easter-about the first of April when all vegetati'on was killed, the thermometer being lower than at any time during the winter. Pltum trees are blooming, fruit trees budding. Grave apprehensions are felt for small grain. Wheat sown late in October is as high as it usually is the first of March. There will be no fruit this year."

The first regular meeting this year of the Newberry Board of Trade was held on Monday night in Council Chamber. The meeting was a pleasant and har monious one and we had hoped that there would be a larger number pres ent. The matter of increased rates of frieight to New berry, notice of which some of the merchants have received, was brought up and;on motion, J. 0. Peoples, J. N. Martin and W. T. Tar rant were ap)pointed a committee to investigate the matter and report to a future meeting of the Board if it were thought necessary. The question of organizing a Land Improvement and Investment Com pany for Newberry County was talked over and on motion a - committee was appointed to take the matter in charge and report as to its advisability. The following is the committee: WV. H. Hunt, Jr., ,E. H. Aull, J. J. Lane, J. N. Martin and Geo. McWhirter. A letter from T. C. Wtlliams in regard to immigration was read by the President and this was also referred to the same committee. The Board seems to have life in it yet and as the president said unless we consider our town finished and com plete this vitality should be encouraged and cultivated until it becomes a healthy growth.

Our record in t he past is a guaranitee for the fut ure. W\ishiing you all a prosperous New Year, we remain respectfully, ROBERTSON & GILDER, t rgi A Good Sermon. The editor of The Herald and NewsI had the pleasure on Sunday morning of hearing a sermon at the Baptist church by the pastor, Rev. C. P. Scott, that impressed us very much. It should have been heard, however, to be fully appreciated. It was eloquently and forcibly delivered by the able di vine. There is no doubt that if the principles set forth in this discourse were followed by the people it would transform tbis earth into a paradise. The subject of this discourse was "The Royal Law," the golden rule set forth by Christ himself, "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." This principle fol lowed by the people wouldl make a great transformation in our intercourse with our fellows. What a great thing it would be for this world if we could become less selfish, and treat our neigh bor as we would that our neighbor should treat us. What the world most needs at this time is greater love for our Creator and more love for our fellows, and not a selfish love that is prompted by, and has its existence in, selfish nio tives. We will publish this sernion in full on the first page of The Herald and News next week. Any synopsis of it would spoil its symmetry. Notice. The lady who left her pocket book on the counter while trading at Klett ner's may have it by applying to 0. Klettner (Foot's old stand) and de scribing contents. Friday night in "Larking " The Columbia, Newberry and Laurens. On last Friday we spent the day in Columbia. Through the kindness of ex-President H. C. Moseley, President. W. G. Childs and Mr. C. J. Ellis of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens rail road , we had the pleasure of visiting the bridge of this road now being con structed across broad river. Work on this road is being rapidly pushed, and if nothing prevents it is expected to have trains running to Newberry by the first of April. The iron bridge is a fine piece of work, and is being well constructed and substantially put up. Seven of the spans were completed when we were there last Friday, and it is thought the whole would be completed by the first of February ready for the trains. The bridge was purchased and all the iron for the road under the presidency of Mr. H. C. Moseley. Mr. Childs is energetic and is push ing the work so well begun by Mr. Moseley, as rapidly as it is possible. All the iron for the whole road from Newberry to Columbia is in Columbia, and is ready to be put down. The track from the city to the river is fin ished and has been received by the railroad commission. The grading from Columbia to Pros perity is all about completed, and much of the trestle work is finished. As soon as the bridge is cornpleted the work can be rapidly pushed. Newberry will soon have another rail road. "McGinty" and his troubles in "Larking." GENUINE BARGAINS ON CLOTHING AT SMITH& WEARN'S. I'hey are making a bir run since they have reduced tYieir prices.

It seems as if we are not to have any winter this season. So far the fall and winter have been spring-like. A great many of our farmers are still waiting for cold weather to butcher their hogs. A large per centage of that which has been slaughtered is spoiled. I do not remember seeing the oat crop looking better at this time of the year. The wheat as a general thing is not looking so well. Some think that, owing to the warm winter, the fly is beginning to injure it considerably. Our farmers are trying to lay aside the thoughts of hard time~s. Some are putting on bright faces. and looking forward with that bright old hope that always keeps the wheel turning--the hope that this will be a better crop year. Cannon Creek Alliance will meet <nl Saturday, the 18th instant, at 10 a. im., instead of the 15th as was stated last week. This was a called meeting, but still we hope to see all the mnembers present. Berry Rikard and not Berry Kinard has moved to the Andrew Kinard place.

She has been indefatigable in her efforts in this irection, and during the six years inee the organization of the Newberry W. C. T. U., only three regular meet nus have not been held. During this timlle the organization I has grown until it no,v numbers up- k wards of 500.

On last Frid1ay 1 morning ai no'tice of which the following is a verbatim copy ! t was found posted against the harness shop of Mr. F. A. Selunpert, next 1 loor to the postoftiee: To Colored, Peopile, Only t Notice the White people is ,,o ing to Kill all the Negroes what they have any thing igainst so take Warning & Govern "our Self's according.

You cant spak my thing against this for it is triTe Your Colord The paper on which it is written was ^arefully taken down and on the oppo site side is the picture of a building t which sonie persons say is an old pict ure of one of the buildings of the Claflin College. Everybody in New berry knows that the negroes in Newberry are in no rianger of being killed, and there is no aisposition on the part of the white people to force them to emigrate. If they desire to go there are many of the white people who will give them every nenragemxent, but so long as they re main here they will receive the protee tion of the law. There are sonie who believe it was put lip in the interest of emigration agents in order to frighten the negroes aind nmake them more anxious to get away. Others who thitnk it was done ais a hoax by sonic fellow who wanited to have a little fun.. There is evidently no truth in the statement that the negroes are ini any danger of losing their lives at the1 hands of the white people of this comn munity. BLTTH EDEN; ITEMS. We hiave entered upon the new year with new hopes and renewed zeal. Before another year rolls by, we hope to have our church repainted and car peted. We are now at n ork to that end.
