Illness of Col. C. H. Suber.
Col. C. H. Suber was partially para.
lyzed in one side on Fetruary 22nd.. It
was thought that he would soon recover
and be able to be out again, but for the
last few days he has gradually grown
worse and is now in a critical condition.
This will be sad news not only to his
many friends in Newberry, but he has
a host of friends throughout the State
who will be pained at the sad intelli
gence of his critical condition.
Perfect Light.
Electric lights are said to be the most
perfect-tbat is most clear and most
brilliant. We have not the electric
lights in Newberry, but we have the
best burning fluids, namely: White
"C" Oil, Astral and Aladdin Security.
These have never been known to
cause an accident. That cannot be
said of all burning oils. Without dis
agreeable odor, is pure water white and
has brilliant burning qualities. For

the way in which it was received in

"The border play of 'Daniel Boone,'
which was presented at the Academy
of Music last night, is the best play on
that subject which has ever been put
on the boards in Charleston. It intro
duces real Indians and a trick horse
that is himself a great natural actor.
The audieace was large. The orchestral
chairs well filled, the parquette was
also filled, and the familly circle and
the gallery were packed up to their
capacity. . . The audience applauded
the piece the whole way through."

An Alliance Convenlion.
As stated in The Herald and -News
inst week a convelnti on of delegates
from the ('unItyAillane'5 in the Third
Congressi~nal I)istriet wa3 held last
Friday at Belton. ;Oonee. Pickens and
Newberry Alliances had representa
tives in the con vention. The Alliawes
of A bbeville and Alldlersu,n nail held
their meetings before the call for this
coteir-etin was miate, and therefore
had n1 rer"ular diele.:lts froni the alli
anees prersent.

fected by the election of I). J. (.
Alexalder, of ()con_ee, ('i:tin:inan, and
.Juo. T. )ntcai, of New brry, Secre
tarv.
The object of the metintlieg was to
unite the alliances of the Third Dis
trict in the selection of a canidlate to
succeed Judge Cothran inl ('ongress,
and adopt a platfori and to discuSS
the situation geteraily. The plan of
those who favored the call of this con
Ventionl seems to ie for the Alliances of
this District to adopt a platforni of
prilciples. and unite in the selection
of a candidate who will make the best
and ablest cm1npion of the principles
therein set forth, whether he be an
alliance man or not, and then for the
Alliances in the District to support
him for Congress. At this convention,
however, no candidate was endorsed.
A platform was adopted, the provisions
of which it is not desired to make pub
lic.
An executive conlltuittee was ap
pointed consisting of one msetlnber from
each county in tbe District. Mr. Jos.
L. Keitt is the member from Newberry
and chairnan of the committee. An
other convention will be called when
necessary by this committee.

On Sunday last Rev. Marks baptized
a family of five children in Grace
church. The last ministerial act which
he performed was the marrying of a
couple at the residence of Capt. Henry

On last Sunday morning Rev. G. WV.
.Holland, D). D., Ph. D., filled R3ev.
Marks' pulpit in Grace church. The
sermon was emlinently creditable
to the learned doctor as was evinced
by thle rivetted atttentioni of the large
congregationl. At the close of the ser
mloni thIe dloctor, in a brief, but plainif
anid practical manner, p)resentedl the
wanlts of a resolution passedl by synod
re-questinlg tIle chlurches to erect three
suitable dwellings for the college pro
fessors to live ill. F'or the enI
couragemnent of the conlgregationI he
stated that the Lutheran churches inl
Charleston had offered to build a
dwelling for, the president of the col
lege, leaving all the other Lutheran
churches the small task of building the
other two dwellings. At the close of
his remarks a subscriptionl was taken
lip, which aggregated the neat sum of
$17:2.--A The doctor was well pleased
with this and observed that he felt that
Grace congregation would do well, hut
iln this instanlce it had exceeded hlis best
expectation.
The evening service in Grace church
was of a peculiarly solemn and tender
nature. It was Rev. Marks' last ser
111n11 and at an early hour the church
was filled with anIxious admirers to
hear their beloved pastor and preachler
for the last tinie. As he arose in the
p)ulpit he uttered with intense tender
nes5 tile nlame, JIesus, remarking that
the nanme Jesus11 was the first word thlat
he gave expression to when lie
plreachled his first sermlon ill Grace
chu-rch, and no(w nl leaving his dear
congregation lIe wanlted to leave them
i:: the arms of Jecsus. A fter commend
ing thlem ill tendoer and touching words
to JIesus, lhe announced his text in
Rev. 22: 17, as follows: "A nd the Spirit
and the Bride say, come. And let him
that heareth say, comeC. And let him
that is athirst, comeI. A nd.whlosoever
will, let himt take of the water of life
freely." Then followed-an emlinently
imlpressive alnd affectiona1:te sermfon
from tihe text, lie not referring to hlis
taking leave of his congregation until
Il hoen whir.h was thaen very bref,r
but ere the close there were many eyes
shedding tears mingled with love and
pain. Long will this occasion be re
wnr-nibered by (,race congregation.

The snow was a surprise to many
last Sunday. They also enjoyed the
genuine freeze Monday morning. It is
to be hoped that the fly will do no fur

vegetation suffered somewhat-- peas in

etc., anld though the tender leaves and
fruit germs of the fig tree were de
stroyed, the lateral buds will doubtless
bring a bountiful crop. The peach is
late in blooming; perhaps it is better so.
Our people have subsisted so long upon

HERALDENGS FROM NO. 6.
Oats have improved wonderfully
where not killed by the fly and the
dry weather. Some of the wheat has
rust already, but the cold may stop
it.
Our sick are improving and the Doc
tors are getting a breathing spell
again.
Roads are being worked now.
Plowing is further advanced than
usual, and if the weather turns warm
ag.ain in a few days, corn planting will
begin.
One of our married men got off a
good joke recently on one of our wid
owers about the lottery business. He
made his little boy call the widower
"Cousin Judge." He had occasion re
cently to be from home right often,
and the little boy's mother asked him
if he did not think that they had bet
ter swap his Pa off and get a new
one ? The little boy said yes. His
mother asked who should she get for
him a Pa. He hung his head a while
as in deep thought, then brightened
up and said he thought it had better
be "Cousin Judge.'' Now that mar
ried man has nothing to say about lot
teries or Cousin Judge either.
Miss Mary Burton has been srend
ing a few days at the old homestead.
Mrs. Mary Reeder is visiting her son
John WV. Reeder.
Our people are taking very little
stock in the Farmers' Convention. The
Democratic party is good enough for
us.
Mfrs. Clary has improved a little.
Her chances to get well are much
better. TELL.
