Within a few hours after he entered the country, it was discovered that he was insane and he was immed- lately arrested and brought to the detention quarters here. On making application to the immigration officials at El Paso, he was seem ingly enjoying the best mental con- dition. He was rational at all times and passed the examination without a hitch. During his incar- ceration in this city, Acebo gave the the officials a great deal of trouble in caring for him. He was regard ed as harmless lunatic until one night about six weeks ago, he bounced upon the guard in the de- tention quarters and would doubt less have injured the official had it not been for the timely appearance of other officers who overpowered him

 Bisbee Miner: James Masterson who has been in the local branch of the county jail will be taken to the hospital in Tombstone today or tomorrow. Masterson was put in jail for drunkenness and disturbing the peace. Shortly after he was locked up he developed a case of the ''collywobbles" and has been seeing things ever since. He be- lieves that he Is to be executed and shows great fear every time an officer comes into the part of jail where he is being kept.

Successful Chicken Raiser.

Mrs. M. M. Hunter, wife of Mr.. A.
J. Hunter, of the Midway section, is a
most successful chicken raiser. She
sells quite a lot of chickens and eggs,
and has deposited recently $50 in the
bank, all this money being derived
from this source. She also buys all
the chicken food. she uses, as well
as buying her own clothing, and hav-
ing money to spend for other pur-
poses. Mrs Hunters success shows
that there Is good money to be made
in raising chickens and eggs, and the
wonder is that more people do. not
pay more attention to it. There is
always a good demand for all kinds
of poultry on this market at good
prices.

The price of cotton continues to 90

Clean cotton rags wanted at The

Bring rags which will do for wiping

We wish that city council would
put a tower on, the new city hall
building and put city clock therein.
The cost would not be great, and then
Bamberg could begin to put on real
city airs.

at Augusta and extended an invita-
tion for him to stop his special train
at Bamberg a few minutes last Sat-
urday morning on his way to Charles

and while some people were around
the depot as the train passed
through town, they did not get a

Mrs. Lewis organized a Sunbeam
Band at the church last Friday after
noon with an encouraging number
present and participating.
Good congregations attended both
morning and evening services last
Sunday. The pastor preached Sunday
night, as announced, on the final
state of the wicked. He showed that
the wicked would be punished beyond
the judgment, showing the weakness
Of the Universalist theory. Also, that
the nature of this punishment will
be outward, or legal, and inward, or
natural; the outward being depend
ent on and limited by the inward con-
dition. That instead of everlasting
fire being literal, it is only a figure of
the awful fury and wretchedness of
unchecked sin within, producing it's
outward conditions of wretchedness
and despair.
The literal idea makes men dread
God only; the f1gurative idea makes
men dread sin.
! Next Sunday night the pastors
theme will be, Is future punishment
eternal?.
Rev. o. ). Frier, C: B. Free, and
Geo. H. Smoak were chosen to repre-

New Pastor Well Received.

Rev. D.. B., Groseclose, who re-
Gently moved from Leesville to &C
cept the pastorate of the Ehrhardt
and Mt. Pleasant Lutheran churches,
in this county, writes to the Leesville
News the following account of his
reception by the noble people he is
now serving:
Will you give me space in your
highly appreciated paper to extend
to all our friends the compliments OF
the season?
We often think of them all, but
cannot write to them individually,
and take this opportunity to reach
hall. We have been in our work here
one month. Our reception was be
yond the ordinary large crowd
came with well filed buggies and
wagons and spread a sumptuous din
ner, helped place the furniture, gave
us a'fine cooking range and filed the
pantry with things to- cook on 1t. And
more, they have not stopped-chick-
ems, turkeys, sausage, spareribs, pud-
ding, hams, eggs, butter, all kinds OF
vegetables, etc.
New Years day they came, about
sixty in number, and spent the day
with us, taking possession OF the
kitchen and dining room. They
spread fine, well filed table-in
fact the most ever saw on one table
and all enjoyed fine New Years
dinner. After all had partaken and
everything put in order we spent the
remainder of the day in social con-
versation and getting acquainted, etc.
The day was too short was all the
complaint.
They again left the table and
pantry full, and we will have some
for our friends when they come II
they don't wait too long. Now, we
don't mean by telling you this that
we have forgotten our dear friends
in Leesville. They were just as gooo
to us, but not In, the same way. 50
many remembered us with nice g1rts
Xmas, and gave us well filled purse
with the names of the donors. We
shall never forget them. They not
only did this, but came and helped
us pack our furniture and place 1t In
the car free of charge, then took us
into their homes and fed us on tur-
key, chicken and all kind OF goo1
things while we stayed. And last,
but not least, the ladies of the Mis-
sionary Society presented Mrs. Crosse
close with handsome silver fruit
basket as a token of love and appre-
citation for her good work In the So
ciety. >,
We haven't words to express the
appreciation of all this. May the
dear Lord ever provide for each one,
and at last bring US together In
Heaven.

Civic Association.

The members of the Civic Associa-
ton have gone to work with new
vigor since the passing Of the holi-
days, for the aesthetic advancement
of Bamberg.
The last meeting, which was held
as usual in the Fitting School chapel,
was most enthusiastic one. Many
new members were added to an al
ready lengthy roll call, and all of the
officers were in their places.
Although the league is as yet In its
infancy, only about three months hay-
ing elapsed since it's organization
quite an amount of good has already
been accomplished, and greater
things are being planned for the civic
betterment Of Bamberg.
It was decided some time ago to
take in charge the court house and
the grounds around it as the first
work of the league. And right here
a vote of thanks from the ladies is
due Mr.. J. B. Kearse, the supervisor
for his hearty cooperation in this
work.
In response to their entreaties he
gave q convict to clean the grounds
and building, and promised to fur
nish this convict at any time for the
work at this place. So, by this means,
and by the cooperation of those who
have offices, both in the building and
near the court house, we hope to
make this handsome public building
and it's grounds place of which not
only the town, but the county at
large will be proud.
The ladies are also indebted to Mr.
C. B. Free, who will have the convict
in charge, and who has promised
his help at any and all times.
It was decided to place a privet
hedge all around lne court house
square, in front of the building, let
ting it grow to some height as a
screen for a board fence at the back.
Six yuccas are to be placed in the
square, and later on beds OF cannas
are to be planted. Mrs. G. P. Har-
mon, Mrs. R. L. Risher, and Mrs. G..
F. Bamberg compose the committee
on this work.
It was then decided to take up the
work of cleaning and beautifylng
Restland cemetery. Situated in the
heart of town, and held dear to the
hearts of most people in Bamberg, 1t
seems very appropriate that this
hallowed spot should be among the
first places to receive our attention.
One week from next Friday, February
5th, was appointed as work day at
the cemetery.
All lot holders and any one inter-
ested in this labor of love are re-
quested to meet with us on that day
and lend helping hand. If each one
interested will put his or her indl-
vidual square in perfect order, ere
night fall great results can be achiev-
ed.
Mesdames Bronson, J. D. Copeland,
Sr., Herbert, Heidtman, Armstrong,
and w. P. Jones were appointed a
committee to arrange for this work.
The street carts are to be on hand
for the removal Of all trash, etc. Let
us not forget the day.
The girls amateur club of Kearse
will present their play miss Fearless
& Co." for the benefit of the league
on Friday evening, February 18th.
We hope that nothing else will be
planned for this evening and that
they will play to a crowded house.

House Barge Wrecked

During the earlier severity Of the
noFeaster yesterday morning, a
house barge belonging 10 the stsve-
dores' Union Of this city, and occu-
pied by two Of its members as a habi-
tat, and moored against the inner
flank of the railway trestling just
south Of the Sanborn coal bunkers,
broke from its moorings and began
to pound around on the old pile-ends
sticking up through ebbing tide. The
boys at Chemical Engine house No.
1, saw the peril Of the establishment
and at once sent word to the Union
headquarters, but before any assist
ance arrived the barge had beaten
holes through its bottom to such an
extent that it careened and would
have sunk completely had not a line
been made fast to it to hold from dis
entirely. The men who
used it as a home, lost everything
they possessed including their cloth
ing and effects as we'll as bedding
and cooking utensils.
