In Nemoriam.

Jimmie Armstrong is dead, and
the place that once knew him will
now know him no more forever. In
stature he was small, but in character
he stood abreast in the front rank
with the greatest in size. AS a friend
he was true to every principle of
man. AS a husband and parent,
faithful to his obligations. By bis
genial and kind department as gen.
tleman and citizen he built a monu-
ment tc his own memory-built upon
the foundation laid by the tender
hands of a mother, a monument not
of stone, granite or marble, but a
monument built upon all the virtues
constituting the Christian gentle
man, and one that will reflect credit
upon the name from which his fam
lily may take comfort and consolation
and feel proud of the name they
bear. The author of this feeble little
tribute was a great admirer of jim
mie for the reason. if no other, that
he was always most respectful to the
age, and never departed from the
early impressions formed by the
teachings of an aAectionate and low
ing mother. FRIEND.

County Chain Gang.

The county chain gang, which has
recently been at work on the roads
near town, has done some fine work
on the various highways: The new
bridge, Binnaker's, Charleston &
Augusta, Cannon's bridge, the Ehr-
hardt road and the new road to Little
Saltkehatchie have all received at
tention. New bridges have been
built at Cannon's bridge and the
causeway repaired, while the con-
tract has been let for a new main
bridge. The bridges and causeways
over Lemon swamp at the Ehrhardt
and new road crossingshave also been
put in nice condition. The gang is
now at John Green's on the new road,
but in short time will go to work
on the road between Bamberg and
Denmark. This important highway
will be Strengthened and clayed. 1t is
the intention to make this the finest
road in the county, as it is the most
travelled of any road in the county.
Bamberg has a fine reputation abroad
for her good roads, and the present
management purposes to improve it
on present conditions.
