What has become of the new Hartzog
roads We trust that those interested in
this important highway have not allowed
their enthusiasm to lapse and that the road
will soon be built. 1t is an outlet which
is badly needed.

store under the town hall, and has been
badly handicapped on account Of room.
In the new store he will largely increase

people in this section want to improve
their stock. These gentlemen have just
received fine registered Jersey bull, with
magnificent pedigree.
A regular meeting of Bamberg lodge,
No. SO, Knights of Pythias, was held last
Monday evening, at which Grand Master
at Arms Joe A. Berry, of Orangeburg,
was present to make the lodge an official
visit as the representative of the Grand
Chancellor. Bro. Berry's visit was for
the purpose of seeing what progress this
lodge was making and how much interest
and enthusiasm was being shown by the
officers and members. We regret that he
found the lodge in such poor condition.
He was called on for speech during the
lodge meeting, and although he had very
small audience, he made a rattling good
talk on the principles of Pythianism.
Gen. Jno. B. Gordon lectured at the
Fitting School chapel in Bamberg last
Thursday evening to a good sized audi
ence: His subject was "The Last Days
of the Confederacy," lecture which he
has delivered many times in both the
North and South. 1t was we'll received
here, and our people were very much
pleased. The receipts of the entertain
ment were not enough to pay the expens-
es, and the committee who were in charge
of the lecture will lose some money.
These popflornop tone tho in no nd
not to make money but to give our people
an opportunity to hear one of the great
generals of the Confederacy on subject
dear to Us all. That they should lose
money On account of it is to be regretted.
