Good cotton is selling for 8}c. tmlav. Considerable improvements have been made at the bridge leading to I hmeruile. The only child of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Xortheutt died last night and will bo buried at 5 p. m. today. Brick sidewalk is being laid on Main street, from the corner to the office of Nettles & Nettles. If the persons who have been haul ing sand from the Cemetery do not call and pay for the damage, they will Ik; prosecuted. We send otit, with this issue, a good many specimen copies of The Herai.O, and hope that all who re ceive them will favor us with a sub scription. - The barn and stables of Mr. Geo. J. Johnson, of this county, were des troyed by fire, consuming a mule, wagon, road cart and harness. Fire accidental. In the next issue there will appear an article advocating the sub-treasury, written by one of our subscribers, and we very gladly accord him space to present his views. The columns of The Hkrai.I) are always open for the purpose of call ing attention to nuisances. Furnish us with the facts and we will cheer fully publish them. If the town council want to do something that will add very mater- iallv to the health of the town they The crossing at High Hill Creek, on the road leading from Darlington to Florence is rejwrted to lx; in very hail condition, and we trust it will soon be put in shape. The stream divides, just at this point, the two counties, and the commissioners of Ix>th counties should look after the matter. It is the only direct route between the two places, and it ought to be kept in order. We earnestly insist that the part that belongs to Darlington lx- put in order, and then the blame can rest on Florence, if they don’t fix their part of it. We once again appeal to our sub scribers to come foward promptly and renew their subscriptions. A dollar is a very small amount for each individual to pay, but sever al hundred of them will be a very great help to The Herald just now and we think that this is as little as our friends can do, especially when the fact is considered that we have carried out all the contracts of the old paper, made previous to the fire, at considerable cost. The subscrip tion price is very small and it ought to be promptly paid. The following young ladies left on Monday night for the Jones Semi nary, at Gastonia, X. C.
