A Business Change.

The drug store of DR.. H. F. Hoover
was sold last week to Mr.. j. R.
Owens, and it will be conducted by
his son, Mr.. J. L. Owens, who Is a
graduate druggist and one who has
had years of experience in one of the
largest stores in Alabama. Mr..
Owens comes to us from Birming-
ham, Ala, where he was prescrip-
zionist in drug store employing
twenty-three men. We are glad to
have Mr.. and Mrs. Owens locate
here, as they will be decided addi-
tions to the business and social life
of the city, and the deal also means
that Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Owens will
remain in Bamberg. DR.. Hoover will
devote his entire time to his prac-
tice. The store will be run under
the name of Bamberg Pharmacy.

A Piece of Good Work.

The county chaing gang under Mr..
Kirkland and Chief of Police Hand,
is doing a splendid piece of road
work in a badly needed place. This
week they commenced paying the
town some of the work they owe
and have started into the town limits
on the Cannon Bridge Road coming
up the corner of Second street. The
road bed is being nicely worked, and
the sidewalk is being improved very
materially. Several spots on the
sidewalk have been impossible in a
rainy spell, the water accommodating
from the road bed and adjoining
fields. This is being remedied as far
as possible. When this work is COM
pleted the road will be one of the
best drives in town, and it has for a
long while been one of the worst.

Ginnery Burned.

The ginnery of Mr.. D. Bowling,
situated a few miles from town, was
totally destroyed by, fire Tuesday
night of last week, or rather about
three o'clock in the morning. The
fire originated from a match care
lessly dropped in the seed cotton
which was being ginned, and the
flames spread so rapidly that nothing
could be done to check them. On
account of the rush the gin was run
ming all night. The loss is about ST.
500 with no insurance, which falls
heavily on Mr.. Bowling. In addition
to the gin house and machinery, sew
eral bales of cotton and lot of cot
ton seed were burned.

Good Roads Train.

It is to be regretted that there
was not a larger crowd present at the
demonstration and lectures OF the
gentlemen in charge of the good roads
train which visited Bamberg last
Thursday morning. The train ar
rived here Wednesday night, and was
in charge of Messrs. Winslow and
Hurlbut and A. E. Baker. Mr.. Wins
low has visited Bamberg before, he
being here with the good roads party
of the Columbia Daily Record about q
year or more ago. He is connected
with the good roads department OF
the United States government, and
he had an assistant along with him
whose name we failed to get. Mr..
Hurlbut represented the Southern
Railway and Mr.. Baker the American
Association Of Highway Improvement
The lectures and demonstrations
were indeed interesting and instruc-
tive, and the car in which the lectures
and demonstrations were given were
kept delightfully."- cool with electric
fans, driven by a gasoline engine,
which also furnished current for the
streopticon views and driving a part
of the exhibit.
The lecture by Mr.. Winslow was
interspersed with views of roads in
this State and Georgia, the views for
the most part being taken by him.
Mr.. Winslow showed examples OF
good sand-clay roads and told how to
build them, always emphasizing the
Importance of using the split log
drag.
The lecture of Mr.. Baker was also
interesting as we'll as instructive. He
gave lot of information as to tax
returns in this State and said the
people should be ashamed Of them
selves for returning 50 little property.
He advocated bond issue for the
Improvement of the public roads
stating that the corporations would
pay one-half the tax. That the bur
den would not fall on those who used
the public roads.
At the close of his address he Or
ganized a local branch of his associa-
ton. with the following officers: S.
G.. Mayfield, president; H. A. Hughes,
vice president; J. Aldrich Wyman
secretary; and H. C. Folk, treasurer:
This association here will be a part OF
the national organization without one
cent of expense, and if a campaign
for bond issue is started the nation
al association will send down speak
ers without any cost.
1t was regretted that the stay OF
the train here was 50 short, but as a
stop had. been planned for Denmark
the train left here attached to the
up train a little after eleven O'Clock
Thursday morning, so only one series
of lectures and demonstrations were
given. However, the car was com
| fortably filled, but there should have
been three times as many people pres
ent, for nothing is of more import
ance to our people than good roads
and the information given by the
gentlemen here was intensely practi'

RiZer Gets a Car Load.

c. F. Rizer, at Olar, received a car
load of horses and mules Monday of
this week, and if you want to buy or
trade, he is the man you want to see.
This lot of stock was selected with
great care, and is especially suited
to the wants of the people of this Sec
tion. He has an animal for any pur-
pose, fine driving and saddle horses,
farm and timber mules, all at most
reasonable prices. See him quick,
as they will not stay on hand long.

GUINEA HENS
ARE PROFITABLE
Bakers Always Glad to Get Their
Eggs Because They Can b
Used to Good Advantage
= In Cake Baking. -
By WALTER B. LEUTZ.

There is no doubt that if the guinea
hen is properly cared for at all times
that It will prove almost as profit
able as any OF the ordinary breeds OF
chickens.
Guinea eggs are not always saluable
to country merchants because many
people say they are not palatable and
their color is against them, but bak-
ers are always glad to get guinea eggs
because 1t is claimed they can
be used to better advantage in cake
baking than any other, except duck
eggs.
If the eggs can be obtained from
guinea hens that have been confined
for a season or whose ancestors have
been treated as domestic fowls, the
birds viii in time, become almost az
tame as chickens.
When the hens are left out In thu
open they make their nests In brusl
heaps or out-of-the-way places, AM
when their nest is once located the,
rarely leave the vicinity. and 1t Is
therefore, easy to find the nests.
Is always better to place the eggs ur
der a chicken hen for Matching vi

Many communications are received
by this paper during the year asking
for information on the best breeds OF
live stock Sometimes these inquiries
relate to draft horses, at other times
to beef cattle, frequently concerning
the breeds of dairy cattle and the last
one received asks for information con-
corning the best breed Of hogs.
We have repeatedly stated in these
columns that it is strictly impossible
to give advice on the question OF
breeds as applied to any class OF live
stock, says the Homestead. So much
depends upon the tastes of the 1ndl-
vidual, upon the environment and
upon the requirements Of neighborlng
farmers that it would be time wasted
to mention specifically one breed and
then undertake to prove that 1t was
better than any or all others.
We take it for granted that in this
case it is the intention Of the sub
scriber to handle pure-bred hogs anc
we presume he is beginner IN the
business and under these circum
stances something may be said on thu
