Mr.. J. J. Simmons was taken sud-
denly i'll last week, and at this time
he is doing as Well as could be eX-
pected He mas a very large number
of friends in this community, who
hope for his early. recovery.
1t has taken some time to work
out all the details of the railroad
proposition, but it is all now settled
and the work of grading the line
will commence at once. Most of the
rights of way have been secured.
Mr.. Miles O'Riley, who has been
here taking photographs for several
weeks, leaves to-day. He goes from
here to Lake City. Mr.. O'Riley is
not only a good photographer but he
is a thoroughly honorable gentleman.
He does conscientious work, and we
commend him to the people in any
town he visits.
Headmaster J. C. Guilds spent last
Sunday and Monday at and near Es-
till, in the interest of the Carlisle
Fitting School. He attended the
dedication of church on Sunday,
and enjoyed the occasion very much.
He states that the Fitting School will
have some students from that Sec
ton next session.
Rev. E. K. Hardin, now profess
sor in Wofford college and pastor Of
St. Johns Methodist church at Rock
| Hill, is to be married next month to
Miss Kate Glenn, a daughter of Mr..
| and Mrs. J. Lyles Glenn, of Chester.
Mr.. Hardin formerly taught in the
Fitting School here, and has many
| friends in Bamberg.
The Herald is not Dragging much on
it's neat appearance these days. For
some weeks we have been using a
very poor quality of paper, and this
| week we used some of the poorest
printing ink we ever saw. We are
not much on experiments, anyway,
and experimenting with paper and
| ink is something we will not do in
the future.
Mr.. O'Riley took photograph OF
all the old soldiers who were here
last Wednesday at the corner stone
laying exercises, and there were
about sixty old Confederates in the
group. Mr.. O'Riley wants to give
every old soldier in the group a copy
of the picture free of charge. Any
| of those in the group who did not
give him their name and address but
who want picture can get one by
dropping him card at North, S. c..
The young men of the city are TAX
ing steps to organize a band. The
boys seem very much in earnest,
and we hope they will organize with
the determination to stick together
and have a creditab1e musical or
ganization. They can do it if they
try, but they must stick together and
work. 1t will take much practice to
perform creditably, and every one
who joins should go in with the de-
termination that the Bamberg band
shall be good one.
There is likely to be primary de-
partment at the Carlisle Fitting
School next year. Several gentle
men in town have spoken to Head
master Guilds about the matter, and
he has said if sufficient number of
pupils were guaranteed the primary
department would be added. Several
have signed the list promising to
send their children, and if suf1ci-
ent number sign the agreement, a
teacher will be employed. The new
department will use the present mu-
sic room of the main building.
The old soldiers of the county
have certainly taken an interest in
the Confederate monument. One
old veteran who cannot walk with
out crutches and who is not well
otherwise, came to the exercises last
Wednesday, although he had come
lying on mattress in the bottom of
a wagon. The wagon was drawn up
near the court house, and he took a
deep interest in all the exercises,
