Short Locals.

The sickness of some OF our force mas
put US badly behind with our work this
week.
Mr.. LaFitte has introduced bill in the
legislature to limit the appointment o.
bailiffs.
Mr.. Geo. W. Rentz, of the Ehrhard
section, killed hog last Saturday thai
weighed $50 pounds net.
An unfavorable report has been made
on Mr.. LaFitte's bill to elect county dis
pensers by the people every two years.
The price of sugar was advanced again
last week. It seems that everything is
getting higher in price except cotton
Smallpox is pretty we'll all over the
State. Better be vaccinated, as there is
no telling when it will appear in BAN
berg.
There was great and sudden change
in the weather here Tuesday afternoon.
7 1t is very cold now and the wind is high
and cutting.
We understand that Hon. G: W. Garris
and family are to move to Florida some
time next month. They are at Denmark
for the present.
Our subscription collections for Janu-
ary bid fair to be the largest in the hlsto-
~ of the paper. And this, too, without
special effort on our part.
The city election is to take place before
long, but nobody seems to take any In
terest. and no candidates are being men
toned vet for mayor and aldermen.
It looks like comedy when man who
of mo
ual labor in his life stands up and prates
about the oppression of factory hands.
Representative LaFitte is certainly
making a record in the matter of intro
ducing bills in the legislature. We be-
iieYe he has introduced more bills than
any other member so far.
The many Bamberg friends of A: Nc
Iver Bostick, Esq, will regret to know
tnat he has been seriously i'll at the hos
pital in Columbia. All OF US hope that
his condition has improved.
DR.. j. j. Cleckley and Miss Mary Cope
were married at the residence OF the
brides mother at Cope last Thursday af-
ternoon. They are making their home
:at the Cope Hotel in this city.
Mr.. w. D. Besinger has bought the
bakery from 81. W. Beard, and will con-
duct it in future. Nh. Kilgus will be re-
tanned as baker, and they will do every
thing possible to please the trade.
Mr.. ". 81. Patrick is making prepara-
tions to build on the lot he recently pur-
( chased. Just below Hays's furniture store.
He will erect an iron building, which will
be used as bicycle and general repair
shop.
We have heard that rural delivery mail
boxes have been tampered with in this
county recently. This is serious offense,
& and if the parties could be found out they
could be severely dealt with. Better leave
the mail boxes alone and keep out of
! trouble.
MrsH. M. Graham, who has been living
in Greenwood for several years, will re-
I turn to Bamberg to live. He is here at
4 present and his family are down in the
Bnford's Bridge section. BE will move
them to town as soon as he can procure
residence.
3. Mai. E. R. Hays has recently laid out
some nice lots on his property IN the
Eastern portion of the town. He has
opened no some new streets through the
i property. Q There are some nice residence
I lots there, and he will no doubt have lit
{ tie trouble in disposing of them.
A little Bamberg girl asked her mother
! few days ago what was the capital OF a
State. and her mother replied that it was
the CITY where the laws were made. The
! little one then said that Bamberg must be
the capital of~South Carolina. But she
was mistaken. No laws are made and
none are enforced in Bamberg.
IS At Ulmer last Sunday afternoon at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. Edwin
Rowley Williams and Miss Drew Folk
were married. The attendants were Mr..

Fla. MI. Spann formerly lived in Bam-
berg, and his many friends here will be
interested in the announcement of his
marriage.
The conduct of a number of young men
or boys in the gallery at the opera house
last Friday night was simply disgraceful
and should not have been allowed. The
opera house is not likely to be'patronized
very literally by our best people so long
as the management allows such carvings
on in the gallery. If the police will not
do their duty, warrants should be sworn
out before magistrate.
At the home of the brides parents, a
few miles below Midway, last Thursday
morning, Mr.. N. G.. Kline and Miss Ida
Hunter were married. Rev. Waddy T.
Duncan, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church here, officiating. The bride is a
