The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1907-07-04

Bamberg needs another railroad.
We presume no one in this COM
munity will dispute this proposition.
The next question to be considered
is, can we get it? We owe it to our
selves to make an effort at least.
The idea of building a road from
this place to Ehrhardt is accepted
generally as a good one, but it is
certain that we will never get the
road unless we work for it. If our
business men will take up the pro-
ject in earnest, we have little doubt
as to their success. Let us go to
work.

Probably Correct.

The teacher had asked the mean
ing of the word orphan, but none of
the children had replied, well. "
she said finally, Il am an orphan.
Now, can anyone tell me?"

low, ''an orphan is a lady that wants
to get married, but can't"

No, Anxious Inquirer, there were
no newspaper men among the bank
ers at the Isle of Palms last week.
We know some bankers who have
gone into the newspaper business,
bnt no editor that we ever heard of
has gone from a newspaper into the
business of lending money. None of
of us run a bank as side line, either.

was made by a mountain woman near

It came quick.

Then he drew his finger across his

SPANISH WEDDING DANCE.

Women and Men.

Music md Attendants-The Dress OF
Women and Men.
The wedding dance was being held
In long, narrow building near a foun-
tain, and we entered on a smooth earth
floor; seats were ranged about the sides
of the whitewashed room, and the low
rafters were draped and festooned with
fancy wall paper with gold scrolls in 1t.
The music was furnished by a piano
organ at one end of the long room,
turned in rotation by a number of
boys in their clean, blue blouses and
brown corduroy breeches, who felt
their Importance, and at the other end
of the room a table was spread with
cakes and bread and a wine concoction
very sweet and pleasant, but seductive,
The women, some bringing their
babies, were a pleasant set, but not
beautiful, although a few, with their
large dark eyes, came very near to 1T.
They did not wear the gay costumes
Of my imagination, but their dresses
showed great care and conscientious
patching. A gay handkerchief was
often folded around the neck and
across the breast and large earrings
and big breastpins were the vogue even
among the young women.
The men wore broad-brimmed black
| felt hats and clean blue blouses, cor
duroy trousers, either light tan or
brown, and the long red or black sash
belt called "faja," wound many times
about the waist, the folds serving as
pockets for cigarettes, tobacco pouch
and the villainous knife that everyone
| carries.
The dances were round" inter
spersed with a square dance, where
four people comprised a set-a sort OF
fandango, with lots of stamping and
attempts at 1.-the, serpentine motions
with the hands raised above the head
There was a very old man who danced
with great gusto and amused the crowt
of young people, who encouraged hin

Very shortly after this a double we'd

Baumgarten and Mary Dynevor were mar
ried together. Everything went off with
great success, and Lord Avon gave Ger
trude away. Cyras remained in England
for it. He was in high form, and insist
ed upon kissing not only the brides in
church, but the bridesmaids afterward at
breakfast. He had squared up his &C
counts and would sail the following day,
leaving a promise that when he came
again his wife should be with him.

the marriage ceremony for both parties +;
and Miss Dynevor honored the company

Cyras had specially procured for her from
some island in the southern seas with an
unpronounceable name.
