make lively foundation
for an impromptu entertain
ment.
The suggestion is a specially good
one, now that the warm weather pre-
cludes other, more strenuous forms of
mental gymnastics.
The invitation might include re-
quest to bring to the party an origi-
nal limerick, or to come prepared to
respond to a roll-call with any nom
sense verse.
Some of the adaptations of Liner
lex writing to the entertainment of a
company of persons have suggested
themselves as follows:
/. To divide a number of stanzas
after the manner of "sliced quota
tions," which doubtless almost every
one has tried in one form or another,
and place the parts in various places
about the room. All five lines may
be separated, or the stanza may be d.
vided as follows, taking one of Ed
ward Lear's famous prototypes as an
example:
First There was an old
person of Ware"
Second division-Who rode on the
back of bear;
Third division - When they said,
"Does it trotw
He said, "Cert in
ly not;
It's Moppsico1
+ loppsicOn
BEAR"
The contest consists, Of course, In
matching the pieces together so as to
make as many complete Limericks as
possible.
2. To assign given words fo- the
rhyming lines, for instance, Zoo
chow, bow-wow, kow-tow;" 'FBrazil,
fill, ILL.," "Omar Khayyam, madame,
salaam." and so on. q
8. To assign topics, either one topic
for the entire company or different
topics to different persons; for ex-
ample, "Robinson Crusoe," "a man
from Bologna" "a girl named Anita"
ga man who wrote Limericks."
An impromptu attempt on the first
subject came out thus:
"There was an old man named Cru
soc,
Who was left in the lurch by a foe;
He ate cakes and drank ale
As he watched a sail sa- >
From his isle in the Pacific o."
4. To write the stanzas after the
fashion of the old game Of "Conse-
'quences;;" the first person writing the
Introductory line, then turning it
down, indicating the last word on the
outside of the fold and passing the
paper to the next writer. He writes
the "relative clause line," keeping the
same rhyme, folds the paper and
again passes it. The third person
finishes the Limerick, writing the two
short lines and the last, which must
rhyme with the first and second.
The following result appeared on
one Of these papers:
"There was en- old farmer named
Howe,
Who set sail for Spain on scow;
He said, Z shall die
If can't have mince pie,'
And he made most terrible row."
An appropriate prize for such a
party would be a copy Of one of the
numerous popular collections of nom
sense verses.

Bamberg County Prosperous.

A few days ago The State published
letters from bank presidents all over the
State, showing the financial condition of
our people generally. MI. h. j. Brabham,
president of Bamberg Banking Company,
gave the following report for this county:
Gentlemen: Replying to yonr inquiry
of the 10Th inst. as to the general indus
trial conditions of our county, would say
we have had the best all round crop with
good prices for every product since my
business life of 3s years. Our bank paper
has been paid more promptly than ever
before in our 10 years of experience, and
our deposits are about 40 per cent. in
excess of last year of same date. AS a
whole I believe our county is more pros
porous than I have ever known it. If we
could get rid of so much lawlessness In our
State we would indeed be not only & pros
porous but happy people.

Election Returns.

after dark Tuesday night how the cleo.
ton was going. Through the kindness
of Mr.. Geo: R. Bullock, local manager OF
the Bell Telephone and Telegraph Com:
pany, full returns were received here and
bulletined in front of The Herald Office
Returns were received from every State
but our citizens lost interest early in the
evening when it became plain that the re-
suit was Republican landslide.
Returns were also received by Messrs
O'Neill s. Gyles at the cotton exchange,
and the service at both places was most
excellent. Never before have our people
found out the result of a national election
so soon.
