The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1905-05-25
Bamberg.

Come see our city of flowing wells,
And you will feel as did the queen of old,
That half its beauties have never been
told,
Walk down an avenue, street, or lane,
And of its beauties be reminded again,
For in many places looms fountain
grand,
And at several corners water stand,
Where people come from far and near,
To drink the water so pure and clear,
Our walks are all made of Brick Qe) and
wood,
And in most places are very good,
But on account of sandy (Cope) land,
We sprinkle our streets from water
stands,
And keep them all as nice and clean,
As ever in any city was seen,
Our hotels are only three in number,
But plenty to eat and a good nights
slumber,
Just try our bakery for bread and cake,
And our markets can furnish you elegant
steak,
If you want anything made of ice,
Call on Hoffman, Meye, or Price,
Oh yes, there is plenty to eat,
If only your purse is broad and deep,
We have two schools of which we are
proud
And of their praise we can't sing too loud,
Prof. Sheridan knows what to do,
And Owen and Hardin will see him
through,
To our graded school so new and neat,
Prof. Salley has proved treat,
And the lady teachers, so good and true,
Have faithfully performed their duties,
too,
We've druggists and doctors of every
kind,
Who heal the halt, the sick and blind,
SO when you get ill, with no matter what,
Call Bronson, Cleckley, Hoover, Black or
OFT,
Our ministers are earnest, faithful and
good,
Ready to feed US with spiritual food,
The young (Folks) of Bamberg cannot be
beat,
The ladies are unassuming, modest and
sweet,
And nicer gentlemen cannot be found,
And that's why we've a model town,
Our merchants are always courteous and
kind,
Dealing out only the best in their line,
Our milliners have hats of the latest day,
So give them call without delay,
Then visit our furniture man, E. G. Hays
And fancy groceries at Jennings, Fielder
and Rays,
Dickinson, Brabham, and Riley will in
sure your life,
It is your duty to children and wife,
And you'll never regret if you make a
deal,
With real estate agent J. T. O'Neal,
If you are looking for horses best to be
found,
Jones, smoak or Bamberg will show you
around,
While if horse you'd like to hire,
Griffin can furnish it, with rubber tire,
Now come to the corner and I'll show
you more, :,
Than Simmons, Delk and Brooker of the
iron stores,
On our oil mill and factory we next must
call,
They give employment to large and small
Rowell paints houses both new and old,
And Bamberg has jewels of silver and
gold,
DR.. Hair will work on your jaw,
While Bellinger comes up to plead the
law,
On Rice, Rhoad, and Klauber we next

Then Pearlstine, Counts, and sandifer
believe are all,
But hold a minute ere I shake your hand
Let me introduce you to Byrd and Spann
And our good editor we fine. right here,
Where we hope to keep him many year
For the above names I searched the
Herald sheet,
But found the list so incomplete,
To me it is great surprise,
That so few people advertise. A. D.J.
A CREEPING DEATH.
Blood poison creeps towards the heart,
causing death. J. E. Stearns, Bell Plaine,
Mimi, writes that friend dreadfuily
injured his hand, which swelled up Ike
blood poisoning. Bucklen's Arnica salye
drew out the poison, healed the wound,
and saved his life. Best in the world tor
burns and sores. Csc at all druggists at
