Christmas passed off quietly in
Bamberg. There was lot of noise,
and considerable money was spent
for fireworks, but there was little
drunkenness that we noticed. There

The Bamberg Herald is issued un-
der many difficulties this week, in
fact at one time we felt that We
would not issue at all. The cotton

The commercial department of the
Bamberg graded school has only had
one pupil this fall. No doubt the
trustees will not elect teacher to

(Gordon) but continue until June
with the present teaching force,
which we have no doubt is quite suf-
ticient to train carefully every pupil
in the school without overworking
any of the teachers.

thank it's many customers for their
liberal patronage during the past
year. Our business is growing con-
stantly, and our holiday trade was
