Our friend, H. W. Chitty writes US
that he will be in Bamberg on the
first Monday in February and Will
give US his announcement as cand1-

From present indications there
will be the largest number of candi-

been since Bamberg county was Gre
ated. Let them come; the more the
merrier.

Mr.. A. Kirsch, who was elected as

The secretary of State has granted

If you don't believe advertising in
The Herald pays, ask Mr.. D. ]. Delk.
He told us the other day that he
had already sold two stalk cutters
which he would not have sold had he
not advertised in The Herald, as
both parties referred to the adVer-
tisement in buying. That's right,
tell those who advertise that you
saw their ad. in The Herald.
The first quarterly conference for
the Bamberg charge was held at
Trinity Methodist church last We'd
nesday evening, Presiding Elder M.
L. Banks presiding. DR.. J. J. Cleck-
lev was elected a trustee to ill the
place made vacant by the death of
Mr.. H. ]. Brabham, and Messrs. D.
J. Delk and A. Kirsch were elected
as stewards to fill the vacancies
caused by the deaths of Messrs. H.
J. Brabham and F. NJ. Stubbs. DR..
Cleckley was elected recording stew
ard.
The many friends of Mr.. A. w.
Brabham will sympathize with him
deeply in the loss of his estlmable
wife, which sad event occurred last
Sunday. She was a most excellent
lsdy. and we know his loss is great.
Mrs Rrahham had been a contribu-
tor to The Herald for several years.
She was possessed of high order OF
intelligence, and was devoted to her
home and her husband. We sorrow
with our friend. Only those who
have endured such an af1ictlon have
any idea of what it means.
