An Amusing Entertainment.

On one night next week, the exact date
to be announced later, the people of Bam-
berg and the surrounding country will
be given the greatest treat of the season.
Several of our most prominent young
ladies and young gentlemen have been
busily engaged getting ready to present a
lively farce comedy, Call a Mistake" I"
The play deals in an umusing and in
structive way with the eall-consuming pas
sion of human life, love, and the audience
will enjoy the novel and interesting way
in which this modern love story unravels
the mystifying position and conviction
an obstinate uncle's mistake caused. Let
every one come. Home talent. The pur-
pose is for the Epworth Leagues mission
fund and pledged to CRANBERRY college,
Brazil. It is good. The play will be in
the Carlisle Fitting School chapel. Re-
freshments served on the campus. Full
announcements next week.

Letter to D. W. Shealy, Bambers, S. c.

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, SO much; neck
50 much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe lead.and'
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants
the neck; the between, some say, is good
enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead-and-oil is between; it is
the old-fashion paint. But zinc has come
in. Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe
lead-and.zinc is the paint that wears twice
as long as lead.and-oil.
Mr.. John G Deitel, Fair Haven, N Y
writes:
"Mr. Charles Hollenbeck, of this place
painted his house three years ago with
Devoe lead-and-zinc; his father painted
at the same time with lead-and-oil.
To-day the sons house looks as well as
the day it was painted, while the fathers
house has all chalked off and needs paint
ing very badly. The father says he will
paint with Devoe next time"
Yours truly
81 F W DEvoE s. Co.

THE DEDICATION.
The church was filled to overflowing
There were present, to take part, the pas
tor of the Methodist church, NJ. W. Rank
in, of St. George, and DR.. C. c. Brown.
One special feature was the excellent
music by the choir, DR.. Brown was in
the spirit for preaching and greatly
thrilled the people and stirred them with
mighty power. His text was from Ezra
1:3, and as he pictured the Jews toiling
and sacrificing to rebuild the temple he
evidently touched very deeply the expe-
rience of many of his hearers, and be,
cause they had had this experience it
made their hearts thrill and their eyes to
become misty with tears.
Pastor Foreman briefly but interesting.
ly gave the history of the church and Of
their struggles and successes. A good
collection was taken, after which the pas.
tor made the dedicatory prayer and the
beautiful church at Denmark was given
to the Lord. Surely rich spiritual bless
ings will fall on this people for this gift
of love.
At night the writer preached to large
audience and there was more sweet sing
ing. My home was with Brethren Stead.

He Carried His Samples.

During the Louisville Presbytery last
week, says an exchange, Delegate Haw'
thorne, of Princeton, told this story OF
pioneer days, and vouched for its accura-
cy: One of the circuit riders in my part OF
the State was extremely fond of pepper
sauce, and as he could seldom find any
strong enough at places where he stopped,
be always carried bottle with him. BE
happened to be at a hotel one night,
though he usually stopped at the home OF
a friend. A man sat across the table from
him, and, seeing the sauce, asked if the
minister would share it with him. The
request was granted, and the stranger
poured out a liberal allowance OF the
sauce into his soup. At the first swallow
he made very wry face and blurted out:
minister, do you preach hell" Yes, was
the reply. "Why do you ask" Because
YOU are the first preacher ever saw who
carried samples" was the answer.

MT. PLEASANT PICNIC.
The Herald Man Spends Pleasant Day Among
the Good Old German Descendants in
the Ehrhardt Community.

On Thursday morning last, comfortably !
seated behind dashing steed, with visions
of chicken, cake and other precious
viands engaging my thoughts, left the
city of Bamberg for Mt Pleasant Lutheran
church, near Ehrhardt, to attend the an
nual picnic of that community. The day
was an ideal May-day, and the drive was
pleasant and invigorating. All alongthe
route could be seen all kinds of vehicles
vending their ways to Mt. Pleasant. The
Mt. Pleasant picnic is an annual affair
and everybody, far and near, anxiously
look forward to the event, which takes
place on Ascension Day. (
On arriving at the church 1 found an
immense crowd gathered. The beautiful
grove was crowded with carriages, bug
gies and wagons in which could be seen
baskets, trunks and boxes flied with sup
plies for the inner man. The forest re-
sounded with the merry laughter of the
young people of both sexes, who perhaps,
had not as yet reached an age to know q
care OF sorrow. While standing at the
well taking copious draughts from
"The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound
bucket"
and gazing upon this inspiring scene of
peace and happiness, I could not refrain
from muttering,
"Fond memory paints the scenes of other
Bright be their memory still;
And bright amid those joyous scenes al
ways
Is the picnic on the hill"
The exercises in the church consisted
of addresses and music, a detailed account
of which is given by our regular CORE
spondent in another column.
At the close of the exercises in the
church preparations for dinner were COM
menced and soon the several long tables
were groaning under the weight of
the many delicious edibles prepared by
the good women for the occasion. I was
taken in charge by MI. and Mrs. s. W.
Copeland, and it goes without saying that
they dispensed their hospitality with Law
ish hands. The dinner was,truly elegant
and the supply was bountiful. Besides
cool and sparkling water from well on
the grounds, ice-cold lemonade was dis
pensed free to ALL In fact, nothing was
left 1ndone to make the occasion pleasant
to everyone who attended.
In the afternoon I spent few hours in
the town of Ehrhardt. This is a new
town but is rapidly building up. The
streets are regularly laid off and are kept
in clean condition. BUSINESS seems to
he lively and the people are hospitable,
clever and sociable. Mr.. C. Ehrhardt,
who is one of the pioneers of Lutheran,
ism in that section, is the moving spirit
of the town. His counsel and advice in
every undertaking looking to the interest
and upbuilding of the town is always
sought A handsome Lutheran church
has just been erected in the town, which
is built in the most modern style of archi-
lecture and is an ornament to the town.
On account of prevailing drouth the
crops in that section are considerably
backward and the stands are poor.
The HERALD's subscription list was
made healthier as a result of the trip,
and for this and other courtesies shown
me return my sincere thanks to those
good people. 81. c. BAILEY.

An Atmospheric Eddy.

1T was several years ago discovered, and
subsequently confirmed by the United

200 miles wide lies between the Piedmont
Plateau and the ocean, in North Carolina

by violent atmosphere pressures. 1t is
an almost constant state of quiescence

which sweep up from the Caribeaa Sea in

eddles form IN bends or sinuous wa
