BAMBERG AGAIN VICTORIOUS.

BAMBERG AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
Last Thursday was big day for the
Bamberg base ball team. 1t was also q
very long day, lasting from four o'clock
a. m. Thursday until $50 a. m. Friday.
The boys managed to pull their eyes open
and peep out on the early dawn at four
o'clock. At FIVE the ride started and
that without any breakfast. But this
seemed to put our boys in better trim, for
when Orangeburg was reached they were
feeling fine and prepared to put up a stiff
opposition against the tough proposition
which awaited them. We were met by
the team of Orangeburg boys, and as
signed to the places which would be our
homes while there. At five o'clock the
game started Bamberg took the willow
first and down went three men in one,
two, three, order. In came Orangeblrg
and pushed two men over home plate,
thus gaining a lead. Bamberg failed
again to score, but the Orangeburg boys
did the same thing for the next three
innings, not scoring again until the fifth.
While Orangeburg was failing to score
during those three innings, Banberg
came in for her share and pushed five
8
one man ia the fifth, three in the seventh
and one in the eighth, making their total
seven. The Bamberg boys put one in
the sixth, another in the seventh, and
four in the eighth, making their total
eleven. When Orangeburg came in for
her half of the ninth, some beautiful
throwing was done for Bamberg by Stead
man. Three men were put down in one,
two, three order while trying to steal
second base. But they never reached
there any more, and the game belonged
to Bamberg. Thus was Orangeburg de-
feated for the second time this season by
the Bamberg ball tossers. Score by
innings:
Bamberg o.O410114o-11 13 II

Many expressions were heard from the
Bamberg boys concerning the very nice
way in which they were treated. At nine
O'Clock the mules pulled out" for home,
and carried with them set of boys happy
over their victory. Songs and cheers
were given at intervals, but 1t was a
sleepy crowd before home was reached.
We were pleasantly surprised by Mr.:
Walter, who stopped US and gave US all
the watermelons we could eat. Town
was reached at three o'clock and the boys
were so tired they knew the way home.
The third game with Orangeburg Will De
played some time soon.
AN EVENT OF INTEREST.
An event which is of interest to the
social life of Bamberg took place last
Wednesday night at the home of Mr.. G.
R, Brabham on Railroad Avenue. Miss
Mabel Brabham and Mr.. H. F. Bamherg
were united in matrimony. Everything
being in order at nine o'clock, the young
couple entered the parlor, where their
friends were waiting to witness the
solemn occasion Rev. NJ. W. Hook pro-
nounced the words which joined together
these two young lives. After the cere-
mony all the guests entered an adjoining
room where there awaited them most
enjoyable supper. Only the immediate
families were present. This event re-
moves from the social circles Of Bamberg
two popular young people. That they
will be missed is felt by all.
STRAW RIDE.
The straw ride last Monday night was
a success in every way. Three wagons
were used to convey the crowd of young
people to the home of Capt. W. S. Bam-
berg, about four miles from town. When
the place was reached there awaited all or
the boys and girls the best time lmagln-
able. Music and games entertained US
from the beginning to the end. Water
melon was served and relished. Later in
the evening, or rather early in the morn
ing, cream and cake was served, which
was enjoyed even more than the delicious
watermelon. The ride back in the moon
light was fine. AS the clock was striking
three, the couples were vending their
way home, pleased with the very fine and
ENJOYABLE time which Miss Ethel BAN
berg had given them.
ICE CREAM FESTIVAL.
Tie base ball teams festival Tuesday
niobt did not turn out as we'll as the boys
had hoped. The weather was threaten
ing in the early part of the evening Out
afterwards turning out to be pretty
night. The crowd was small, consequently
the amount taken in was not at all large,
amounting to only eleven dollars.
