The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1903-08-06
The family of Mr. VIM. Stokes and
Mrs. NJ. 4. Adams moved TO Edisto last

spot" the bird dog belonging to MIR
c.. J. s. Brooker, was killed by train
last Friday morning.
Last Monday was salesday, but there
were no public sales and only small
crowd was in town.
The section of country around Bambere
and Denmark can show some as fine crops
as any county in the State.
Mr.. A. Kirsch has rented the residence
of Mrs. NJ A. Adams on Railroad avenue,
and will occupy it at once.
The chain gang is at present doing some
good work on the New Bridge road. 1t
is being straightened as we'll as worked.
From the way new stores are being
built, our people must believe that busl-
ness in Bamberg is on decided increase.
Our merchants are leaving for the
Northern markets, and we understand
they will buy large stocks OF goods, as the
crop outlook is bright.
Good rains have fallen very generally
in this section during the past week, and
the crops have been much benefited
thereby. The prospect at present is good.
The New Bridge road on this side Of
the river is being put in good condition.
Let our ngeburg friends now give at
tention to the other side. This is an inn
portant road, and should be kept up we'll.
Building and improvement is the order
of the day in Bamberg now. Let the
good work 60 on, but don't forget good
roads. We must have these to induce
people from a distance TO come and trade
with US.
The $4,000 appropriated by city coun-
Gil is soon to be spent on the roads, and
we suggest that the first work done
should be the building of new road to
the Hunters Chapel section. 1t is badly
needed.
One fact should make many new exhib-
itors for the next State Fair-the society
pays the freight on all exhibits grown or
produced in this State, thus enabling
exhibits to be sent to and returned from
the fair without cost to the exhibitor.
We understand that Messrs. Fl. c. and
Jno. F. Folk will fit up the hall above
their three stores into an opera house
and lodge rooms This is something
yery much needed in Bamberg, and
ought to pay handsome dividends on the
money invested.
Mr.. J. C. Redmon, of this county, and
recently Of this city, who graduated from
Wofford college at the last session, has
been elected as professor of Greek and
Latin in the Carlisle Fitting School at
Bamberg. This is quite an honor to our
talented youne friend. - Orangeburg
Patriot.
The social feature of the State Fair is
an important item in considering the
advantages of being an exhibitor. You
meet the best and most progressive farm
ers and stock breeders in the State and
make many friends who are valuable to
You. Prepare a good exhibit to 60 to the
next State Fair, October 27-30th.
The Orangeburg baseball team has been
disbanded for the season. The boys gave
us some fine ball and the lovers of the
sport will regret that "all is over" for the
remainder of the season. 1t takes money
to keep up a good team and we hear that
the managers had trouble to collect what
had been subscribed to the baseball fund.

Mr.. 81. G. Folk is preparing to erect
brick store next to his store, thus hlllng
up the yocant lot between his store and
Mir. Kirsch. The building is to be 80 feet
wide, rs feet long, and two stories. Col.
Jno. F. Folk owns the two adjoining
stores, and he will put another story on,
this making solid two-story block OF
FIVE stores from the corner to Mr.. y. Il.
Brabham's. Our town is certainly on
boom, and there is more building going
on in the business section than for years.
City council held regular monthly
meeting Tuesday afternoon. The regular
routine business was transacted, and Il.
Frank Bamberg, E. G. Hays, and q. Z.
Harmon, were appointed as committee
to act in the matter of the roads appro-
priation of $4,000 by city council. This
committee is to determine where and how
the money is to be spent and on what
roads. It is expected that the work un-
der this appropriation will begin during
this month, and We understand the hrst
work will be the building Of a new road
from Bamberg down in the Hunters
Chapel section.
Mr.. C. r. Calhoun, who has been prin-
cipal of the Bamberg graded school for
the past three years, has accepted the po-
sition of principal of the Walterboro
graded school, and will assume charge at
the openingof the fall session next month.
Mr.. Calhoun is progressive, up-to-date
teacher, and made a most enviable record
with the school here He almost trebled
the enrolment during the three years he
was at the head of our school, and We ex-
pect him to make fine record at Walter
boro. We heartily commend he and his
most excellent family to the good people
of our sister town.
