Bamberg, the City Beautiful.

This an age Of wonders! Every
day we see things come to pass which
once seemed impossibilities. And
this thought has given the ladies OF
the Civic League hope-a hope that
in the near future Bamberg may be
transformed into a city beautiful.
Let us glance a little into the fu-
ture and see the first most impor-
tant steps to be taken in this move
ment, also what we have already done.
We have already begun a crusade
against tin cans, paper, and other de-
bris. Every member of the Associa-
ton has promised to keep covered
barrel for the reception OF every
thing of the kind, and the merchants
have been requested to do the same.
A movement is on foot which we
hope will be the means Of providing
for a well-kept court house and an
attractive square, both on the front
and back of the building.
Our depot agent has had the walt
ing room put in better order,
and we hope soon to put in a stand
to be kept filled with the latest mag
azines and papers. Other conven-
fences will be provided for later on.
The mayor has been enlisted in the
fight against bill-boards and posters,
he having promised to try and have
a law passed against their being post
ed within the city limits.
At the next meeting, to be held IN
the Fitting School Chapel on Thurs
day afternoon at four o'clock, on
Thanksgiving Day, most important
plans are to be discussed. We will
be glad to welcome every lady in
Bamberg to this meeting.

the town to issue enough bonds to

get the legislature to authorize an
amendment to the constitution and

Robin Hood.
BY PRATT WADDELL.

Some one said that Robin Hood was
not a real man that lived As to that
we do not exactly know, but diligent
enquiries have been made to ascertain
whether this parsonage had real exist
ence, but without positive results.
The story of his life is purely legend
airy, but the theories in regard to him
have never been advanced beyond hy-
pothesis. 1t is exceedingly probable
that such a man lived in the twelfth or
thirteenth century. He was extrava-
CANT and adventurous and though kind
to the poor he robbed the rich. His
were Friar Tuck, Maid
Marion, Little John, Will Scarlet, AL
and George-a-Green.
According to one tradition, the prior
ess of Kirkley, in whose care he had en-
trusted himself to be bled when he was
a very old man, treacherously all6y9d
him to bleed to death. 49,
