Don’t forget the Fair on Tnursdav and Friday, and come both days. Trade was very brisk in town-on Monday, and a great many goods were sold. - Remember the meeting of the Y. M. C. A., at 3:15 p. m., on next Sunday. “A Good Soldier,” 11 Tim. y ii:3, -1; iv 7, 8, is the subject for dis cussion. At the recent examination of teachers for the public schools of this County, eleven certificates were granted—five to white and six to col ored teachers. We regret to announce that Sheriff Cole is still unable to attend to his duties, but hope that he will soon be in his usual health. During his enforced absence, Deputy Sheriff Cook looks after the transgressors. As one of our own citizens is President of the State Fair, Darling' ton ought to take special pride in showing what she can do at the Fair, and also turn out in strong force. Our horses will occupy a prominent place and everything else ought to correspond. The last issue of the Lamar Hulle tin contains a most excellent editorial on the importance of sustaining the 'air, ai d but for the fact that The Herald will reach most of its readers too late to do any good, we would publish the article in full. Mr. W. E. Dargan, of the River- dale section, had the misfortune to lose his gin house by fire last week. ^ | It had a shingle roof and caught Rev. Hartwell Edwards, of Pal- from a spark.

The Fair of our colored citizens will be held at the Fair Grounds on Nov. 24th to 27th inclusive, and promises to be a success in every way.

The season is now far enough advanced to speak more definitely concerning the yield for this year, : though the reports vary materially, from different sections of the county. The yield of corn is very fine, pro bably the best for years, and the hay crop has been an important item in ■the year’s harvest. Cotton is not as good as it was last year, but the yield then was unusual. Many think the crop this season will be nearly an average one, but it is very probable that it will be a fourth less than the usual yield. ” The farmers have never had so much trouble in having the cotton picked as thev have had this season. Many have not yet had their fields picked over the first time and they are white with open bolls.
