Mr.. Jones A. Williams has bought
the lot next to the residence of Mrs.
J.H. Armstrong, and is making prep
arations to erect a modern glnnery
thereon. This is the lot on which is
situated the swimming pool and 1sh
pond. built there several years ago
bv the late H. J. Brabham. The lot
contains a number of pine trees, as
we'll as ornamental shade trees and
shrubbery, and these are being re-

Mr.. G.. W.. Rentz and DR.. o. D.
Faust are at work on an old-tlme
fddlers' convention, to be held IN the
Carlisle School auditorium the first
part of July Circular letters an
nouncing the convention have been
sent out, and it is proposed to make
the occasion a big thing for Bam-
berg. These fdd1ers' conventions are
held elsewhere, and are great sue
cesses, and We feel sure Messrs. Rentz
and Faust will make the one to be
held here a most enjoyable occasion.
Policeman J. w. Jennings is
right on the Job when it comes TO
cleaning up the town. The mayor
and the city officials are taking re-
newed interest in having the entire
city put in sanitary condition and
kept so and Mr. Jennings is paying
special attention to giving the town
a thorough cleaning. Now let's have
some rigid ordinances aoout putting
trash and paper in the streets or scat
tering it on ones premises, and let
them be enforced. This will materl-
ally lessen the job OF cleaning up.
The Herald does not mind BOOM
ing any public enterprise, but we
most seriously object to publishing a
lot of free notices for any organiza-
ton and then have them carry the
work there is any money in else
where. We have been subjected to a
good deal of this sort of treatment
in times past, and must state kindly
but positively that we will not do SO
any more. Don't bring us all your
free work and then forget all about
US when you have something that
must be paid for.
