&C. Hays has begun to rebuild
his brick store on Main street, recent
Iy destroyed by fire.
Work on J. A. Spann's two-story
brick building is progressing rapidly.
The stores will soon be ready for
occupancy.
Mr.. c.. R. Calhoun has again been
reelected as principal of the Walter
boro graded school, which position
he has held for several years.
The cool weather and frosty nights
recently have done much damage to
gardens and field crops. Much corn
will have to be plowed up and plant
ed over.
The cement sidewalks are great
additions to Main street. Now let
the incoming city council pave Main
street. We can do it, and it ought
to be done.
After the 18th of April the mer-
chants in many towns in the State
will close their places of business at
six o'clock. Why should not this be
done in Bamberg?
An appreciative subscriber, in re-
mitting for The Herald another year,
says: ''The paper gets better with
every issue" That's the kind OF
talk that delights an editors heart.
The county dispensary board was
in session here Monday, with all the
members present. No definite action
has yet been taken in reference to
re-establishing the Midway dis
pensary.
In another column city council
gives notice of the municipal election
and also the election on the question
of issuing bonds for waterworks.
Both elections are to be held on Tues
day, May 9TH.

Our city council should not be
afraid to spend money for improve
ment of the streets of the town.
Spend the money rightly and nobody
will kick, even if you have to
raise taxes. A levy of six mills for
: town like Bamberg is too low any
way.

toms line.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Woman's Home Mission Society
will be held next Tuesday afternoon

present.

A private letter from Lieutenant
j. Wilson Riley, who is stationed at
Fort Riley, Kansas, tells us that ne

sion in a few weeks. This will be
pleasant news to his many friends at
his old home.

The court house square has been
greatly lNlpiOESu. 11lS iouiio>@h.i 10
in full play, the square is fenced IN,
and lawn grass has been put out.
There has been a great transforma-

house, and the place will be very
pretty as soon as the grass grows and
covers the ground.
Long gloves, SOC up, at Hooton's.
Mr.. S. S. Williams, of the Govan
section, brought us last Saturday
something of freak in the shape OF
a hen egg. 1t is not only small and
of queer shape, but has a sort OF
neck on it like a gourd. In fact it
resembles gourd more than it does
an egg. Mr.. Williams says all the
eggs of this hens recent latter were
small and this was one of the last
ones laid, although> previous to this
her eggs had been of ordinary size.
