Fine Corn.

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:-l
send YOU the crop report on north side Of
Bamberg, which is very good at this date.
Crops are clean and are very f1attering,
but not at all safe-can be easily ruined.
The grand corn exposition can be seen
on gopher ridge, one mile north of Bam-
berg. A few years ago this gopher ridge
would not have brought its taxes if it had
not been near The town, and now it is
wilderness of corn. 1t is sublime, two
and half feet by FIVE, a perfect stand,
and it is ten feet high, just punching to
tassel, stalks as large as they can grow.
The grandest exposition / have ever seen
that the world cannot beat. Everybody
that can enjoy sublimity should 60 and
see it. went in it alone hunting poor
spot and could not find it, then looked
for small hill! or stalk, but did not find
a one. 1t made me feel uneasy and |
hurried out thinking that my friend must
be some relation to Joseph, ruler Of Egypt.
This sublime corn is grown by the ener-
getic and plucky G. Frank Bamberg, who
deserves much credit, being so young to
be able to challenge the world to beat him
on corn. lam very respectfully his neigh

selves to be very efficient in serving the
large crowd with cream and cake: Misses
Parker, Milestone, Rizer, Jones, Brab-

thing over fifteen dollars was realized.
The team this year, while not a very
strong one, has played some steady ball,
Captain Jennings is to be congratulated

For Lieutenant Governor.

COL John T. Sloan, of Columbia, a
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, made
a strong and taking speech at the cam
paign meeting at Bamberg last Thursday,
and impressed many voters with his
dignified and good appearance, and we
believe gained many votes. He received
many votes in this county when he ran
for Lieutenant Governor two years ago.
He was second best in that race, and log
ically should be first in the coming cleo
ton. COL Sloan is we'll qualified to fill
this high office. He has had large legis-
lative experience, having been Senator
from Richland county for eight years,
and a member of the House of Represent
atives for two years, and also member
of the Constitutional Convention of 1895.
He is a man of the highest character, and
will fill the office with credit to the State
and himself. His record is clean one,
and we believe he will receive handsome
vote in this county.

EHRHARDT, June 24.-Our community
has been visited by very refreshing rains
for the last two weeks. Farmers say the
seasons couldn't be any better and that
crops are the best in years.

vile, are visiting Mrs. Jones's parents,

report great time. They returned Fri
day night.
Quite crowd went to Bamberg last
Thursday to the State campaign meeting,
also large crowd went to Walterboro
on Monday. Hayward is undoubtedly the
choice for Governor in this section.
All the students from college have re-
turned to spend vacation at home. -.
1t is to be hoped that our new council
will have some much needed work done
on the streets at once. Just after rain
or in the early morning one can scarcely
get about without getting their feet wet.
Our little town continues to grow. TWO
men were in town last week looking for
houses to rent: sure sign of prosperity:
On last Sunday morning quite host of
relatives and friends assembled at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ehrhardt to
witness the marriage of their daughter,
Nav, to Mr.. E. P. Copeland. Exactly at
1915 the first notes OF the wedding march
were heard and the attendants marched
into the parlor as follows: Prof. j. a.. d.
Carter with Miss Salome Wilson; Mr.. j.
H. A. Hartz with Miss Josephine Cope,
land; Mr.. F. H. Copeland with Miss
Matte Kinard; Prof. Il. W. Fulmer with
Miss Ruth Copeland; Mr.. G. E. Copeland

Ebrhardt with Miss Sallie Hartz, followed

sweet music, beautifully rendered by Mrs
ID. Ouattlebaum, they were made man
and wife by the Rev. j. H. Wilson. The
bride was beautifully dressed in white
organdie, trimed in white satin ribbon
and applique. She held a magnificen,
bunch of roses in her left hand. Aftel
congratulations were over and Mr.. r. d

Marriage

Last Saturday evening Mr.. Henry J
Brabham, Jr, and Miss Roberta Sample
were quietly married. The ceremony
was performed at the Methodist parson'
age by Rev. NJ w. Hook, and was wit.
messed by only a few intimate friends OF
the contracting parties. The news ofthe
marriage came as surprise to many of
their friends, who were not aware that
the happy event was to take place. They
are at the home of Mr.. H. j. Brabham,
father Of the groom, for the present:
Mr.. Brabham is the efficient assistant
cashier of the Bamberg Banking Com
pany, and is one of our most popular and
highly esteemed young men. The bride
has been with Mrs. NJ. l.. Counts as mil
liner for several seasons, and by her sweet
disposition and womanly graces has made
many friends. She is originally from
Baltimore. Their many friends wish for
them every happiness.

Millinery Party.

Atthe home of Mr. and Mrs. W. p Jones
was given on last Friday evening from
eight-thirty to twelve, one of the most
ENJOYABLE social events that Bamberg has
witnessed this season. The two young
and beautiful hostesses, Misses Marie
Murdaugh and Marion KearSe, were
gowned in white organdies, beautitied by
the addition of cream ribbon. They were
at their best both in beauty and as host
esSeS.
About half past nine o'clock the crowd
of young people having gathered, the
two hostesses served the young ladies and
gentlemen with broken quotations, those
of the young men matching with those OF
the young ladies. Then began the search
of the young man for the young lady who
held the remainder of his broken quota
ton. In this way the couples were match
ed Now came the fun of the evening.
The whole scene was like that of mil
linery shop, the boys trimming hats and
the girls making neckties. There were
all kinds, sizes, and colors of both. Some
of the hats were beautiful and some were
not, some stylish and some tacky. The
same may be said of the ties In this
way passed off very quickly and pleasant
ly an hour and half of fun. At the end
of that time the couples drew themselves
up in line and marched by the judges,
all with fearful hearts lest their bat or tie
should be deemed the prettiest, or still
more fearful lest it should be deemed the
tackiest. In few minutes Mr.. H. H.
Copeland made the announcement that
the prizes had been awarded as follows:
Mr. Dantzler received beautiful silk
handkerchief for trimming his hat the
best, and as the BOBBY prize Mr.. G. D. c.
Adams received palmetto fan. Miss
1nez Brabham won the prize, which was
silver hat pin, for making the best tie
and Miss Eula Jones the BOBBY, which
was thimble The decision of the judges
gave entire satisfaction to all, but the
winners of the prizes were closely fol
lowed by some seconds between whom il
was difficult for for the judges to decide
During the evening the guests were
served with delicious cream and cake
and all went away expressing themselVe<
as having had very delightful time.
