B. J. kearse, one of our colored
subscribers at Olar, in renewing for
another year, says that The Herald
lis my paper as long as it is operated
or as long as l live. There is no
doubt about that" Such loyalty is
appreciated.
The services at the Baptist church
were unusually interesting last Sun
day night. Eight candidates for
membership were baptized and re-
ceived into the church, these con-
versions being a result of the recent
revival meeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Glover Lem
acks have issued invitations to the
marriage of their daughter, 1nez
Wilson, to Mr.. Lawrence Preston Nc
MILAN, the wedding to take place
next Wednesday, October 22nd, at
high noon, in ST. James church, Ehr-

Rev. Paul A. Bolen was happily
married to Miss Lillian Lancaster, of
Govan, Bamberg county, on October
l, in Columbia. The Rev. Burts, Of
that city, was the officiating minister.
The many friends of Rev. and Mrs.
Bolen wish for them a long and hap
py welded life.
We are printing in another column
an article published in the Columbia
State. written by its Bamberg CORES
pondent, in reference to the banks of
Bamberg county. The article makes
g fine showing for the banking in
stitutions of the county. However,
there is an error in it, as it gives
the president of the Citizens Ex-
change Bank of Denmark as c. w.
Garris. Mr. F. V. James is president
and cashier of this bank.
The dispensary in Bamberg will
be located on Railroad Avenue, next
to J. J. Smoak's stables, the board
having leased a tenant house belong
ing to Mr.. D. NJ. Eaves, which will
be remodeled and put in shape for
dispensary purposes. He will also
erect a warehouse and bottling plant
on the same lot, in rear of the house.
This will put the warehouse right on
the cotton mill side track, and save
the expense of drayage, besides being
a very convenient location.
The burning of one of the section
houses of the Southern Railway, sit
uated near the cotton platform, caus-
ed some excitement here last Friday,
about two o'clock in the afternoon, as
it was feared that lot of cotton on
the platform might catch. Buckets
we're hurriedly brought into use and
the cotton sprinkled with water.
Soon the fire department was on the
scene, and while the house was kept
from burning totally, its contents
we're DESTROYED. The house was oc-
cupied by negroes.
The postmaster here is willing and
is very anxious as we'll to make ar
rangments to have frst-class mail
delivered here on the train arriving
at 5.45 a. m. from Charleston, and
if the citizens will cooperate with
him the matter can be accomplished.
All the postmaster wants is for ar
rangements to be made to care for
the mail after it's arrival until the
cffice is opened. This early mail
would be a great convenience to the
business men of the town, and 1t
ought to be arranged for, but it can
not be done unless the citizens will
help in the matter.
