soon as possible.
G. Frank Bamberg moved into his
handsome new residence this week.
Remember Col. Bacon's entertain
ment at the Fitting School chapel
Friday evening.
Our people generally are complain
ing at the poor light given by the arc
lamps on the streets.
The building of the Bamberg
Banking Co. will be ready for occu-
pancy some time next week.
Look at the date on the label
of our paper and renew your sub
scription before it is too late.
Our farmers have begun to haul
out some fertilizer, but there will
not be near so much used as form
erly.
Monday was such a disagreeable
day that few people from the coun-
try came to town. There were no
public sales of any kind held.
News is mighty scarce this week
and the editor has the grippe, and
our force is short, so there is good
reason if the paper is uninterestlng
this week.
Court convenes here the first Mon
day in March, the 4th. Judge Hy-
drick will preside, which will be his
first visit to Bamberg as Judge.
Mr.. L. L. Chartrand, contractor
and builder, who has been in St.
Matthews for some weeks, will re-
turn here in a few days to resume
work. See his ad. in another column.

All kinds of paper is still going
higher in price. 1t looks like we
will be obliged to charge S1.50 year
for The Herald before long, as every
thing used in a printing office costs
great deal more than formerly.

Our people seem to have gotten to
the point where the destruction OF
property by fire makes no impress
sion on them. The town will never
have many good business houses un-
til we get some sort Of fire protec-
tion.
We want your trade at Moye's
Grocery Store.
q The condition of Main street is a
disgrace to the town. The idea OF a
place calling itself a town when it
has such Main street as Bamberg
has! There is only one thing that
will be of benefit and that is to pave
the street.

Grocery Store.
The State Senate has passed a bill
creating a ten hour day for opera
tives in cotton and woolen mills.
The bill provides that after January
1st next ten hours shall constitute a
days work. Senator Black, OF this
county, voted against the bill.
Be on the lookout for Moye's laun-
dry boys on Monday mornings.
There was largely attended
drainage meeting held in the hall OF
the house of representatives Monday
evening, the meeting being arranged
for by the house. Hon. G. W. Garris,
of this county, presided and intro
duced the speakers.

The recent spell of wet weather
has been quite an advertisement for
the poor streets Of Bamberg. The
condition of Main street during the
time was simply horrible, both side
walks and the street. 1t will never
be any better until it is paved. It
looks like we might have good side
walks at least.
We have just opened a new keg of
large cucumber pickles at l0c dozen.

The Bamberg Furniture and Hard
ware Company has bought out the
stock of coffins Of Simmons & Kinard
which they had in one of the stores
under Johnson's Hotel, and the store
will be occupied by Mr.. Emory A.
Hooton as a dry goods store. He
expects to be ready for business
about the 10th of this month.
Sheep Nose apples; very fine.

Some people say council has no
right to put waterworks on Main
street only. That body has just as
much right to do this as they have
to hire the cotton mill hose to put
out fires, and yet we have never
heard single kick about that. But
that happens when a fire is going on,
and no one feels like splitting hairs
when fire is burning.
