This newspaper has good reason to
be gratifed at the past years record.
Our friends (both subscribers and
advertisers tell us we have printed
a better paper, and the receipts OF
the Office have been larger than ever
before. Our subscription list is larger
and we have carried nearly double
the amount of advertising of any
previous year. True, we have not
made much money, because of in.
creased prices, butwe have no reason
to complain, even if we have spent
all the money we made on improve
ments. When we get in our new
building and get our linotype
machine, We'll show the people Of
Bamberg county a few things in the
way Of an up-to-date printing office
and a first class newspaper. All We
ask is that you give US your cooper
alton and support and We'll give you
newspaper which will be a credit
to the town and county and which
will be fine advertisement of oul

Safe Blowersin Georgia.

NEWMAN, GA., Dec. 2O.-A gang
of safe blowers got in their work
here last night when they entered
the post office, blew open the safe
and rifed its contents of $500 in
money.
The robbery was committed some
time after midnight. Entrance was
effected through the rear door of the
building. The safe was badly shat
tered, the massive door being torn
from it's hinges and fragments hurl-
ed through the glass partition separt-
ing the office from the lobby.
The police have arrested two
strangers on suspicion, but beyond
this there is no clue. The work was
evidently that of professional "yegg-
men" who have been operating
through the state during the past
few months.

DODdlNG THE ISSUE.

Last week The Herald published
the following paragraph:
eve understand that the Spartan:
burg Journal has been adopting Co

free papers to parties in this locality,
who did not subscribe, in the attempt
to build up circulation"
The Journal replies in this manner;

The Bamberg paper observes that

Was it paid for by a candidate fol

BOOMING THE TOWN.

Do the merchants and business
men of Bamberg realize that a poorly
printed patent outside newspaper
does the town harm instead of good,
and that neatly printed, newsy
sheet, with the advertisements we'll
displayed is the best advertisement a
town can have? This statement is
literally true, and it takes money
and lot of the hardest kind of work
to get out a good weekly newspaper.
Type and material cost money, and
you cannot do good work unless you
have properly equipped office. The
outfit Of this newspaper is worth
three or four times as much as that
of any newspaper in this immediate
section, and yet some of our business
men do not seem to appreciate the
advantage to the town of an enter
prising newspaper. Inthe nearfuture
we are going to give every merchant
in Bamberg an opportunity to adver-
tise in The Herald the coming year.
We want every business represented,
and in order to print all our paper at
home we must have a lot of regular
advertising. It will pay you to ad-
vertise and it will help the town. We
have not canvassed for business. here
tofore, and we feel proud of the
fact that the record breaking adver-
tising given us during the past fall
came unsolicited. We did not have
to ask for it. But what we call the
dull season is coming on and many
merchants will drop their ads. and as
a consequence we will have to reduce
the size Of the paper or use a patent
sheet. So you might as well make
up your mind to give us an ad. when
we come around, for we need and
must have your support in order to
print a paper which will properly
represent the town.

friends she wants. In helping the poor
she will find herself so busy that she
will have no time to think Of her own

by contrast with the real miseries OF
other people.
IF the lonely woman is intellectual,
the cities are full of courses in differ

"If she has talent, what better cure
for loneliness than cultivating that
