is nothing more important to the
farmers of this county.

able real estate is to be sold by the

The Herald this week is not such a
paper as we would like to send out,
but it cannot be helped. Our limo
type operator was called home Mon
day morning by the serious illness OF
his sister, and in consequence we are
very much handicapped by a short
force.
The statue to the monument was
unloaded Monday and Tuesday and
is being placed in position. The
date of the unveiling is fixed for Oc-
tober 26th, and Senator E. d. Smith
will be the orator of the day. There
should be large crowd present from
all over the county.
A representative was here recent
ly and the Fitting School made a
contract for lyceum entertainments
this winter. The course will consist
of five or six attractions, and will be
an exceptionally fine course. Those
who subscribed for tickets will get
full value for their money.
We would have printed a IL page

type operator. If the business men
of Bamberg will just give US the ads.
we'll print any size paper necessary,
giving a column of reading matter
for every column of advertising.

The trains of the Southern Rail-
way are running badly behind ON this
division these days. Can't the off1ci-
ais do something to push them up?
tits very inconvenient to have to wait
on the train at night. Besides, 1t
the train does not arrive before nine
O'Clock, the mail is not put up until
the next morning.
We hear some few candidates being
mentioned for county Offices next
summer. 1t seems to be reasonably
certain that E. G. Bruce will offer for
county supervisor and S. G. Ray for
sheriff. There will no doubt be
number of candidates for the various
positions, and an interesting cam
paign may be expected.
The Herald management is arrang-
ing for another subscription contest,
and we will no doubt announce the

testant will be paid commission on
the subscriptions she gets, thereby
getting pay for her work whether she
wins big prize or not. Look out for
details next week.

Just at this season of the year The
Herald Office is very busy place,
and while we wish to accommodate
our customers, we positively cannot
change advertisements later than
Tuesday morning. The copy must be
in the office not later than ten o'clock
Tuesday morning, preferably before.
We hope our advertisers will re-
member this and let us have their
copy early, the earlier the better, as
they will get better display. When
we are rushed in getting to press, we
cannot put as much time on setting
