noon at $50 o'clock at the Metho-
DIST church. The woman's home and
foreign societies will not hold any
other meetings until September.
The cement sidewalks recently laid
in Bamberg are certainly big i'm
provement, and few towns Of this
size can boast of as much good side
walks as Bamberg. City council is
wisely spending money for permanent
work.
The civic league has been postpon-
ed until next week, Thursday after
noon, July 9th. The meeting will be
held at the residence of Mrs. H. ].
Brabham, beginning promptly at five

sell the cook books which they have

Bamberg's hospital will be ready
for use in about six weeks or less.
Mrs. NJ. A. Bamberg has bought the
residence of the late H. H. Copeland,
and she has leased it to the hispital
association. Enough of the capital
stock subscribed has been paid in to
properly equip the hospital, and it is
not likely that any further install
ments on the stock will be called for
until this fall.
. The many friends of Mr.. A. NJ.
Denbow, cashier of the Peoples Bank,
will regret to learn that he had
narrow escape from drowning while
at the Isle of Palms attending the
State bankers meeting last week. He
was unconscious when brought out
of the water, and had to be worked
on for a long time before he was
brought around. His body is still
covered with bruises where he was
pounded and rubbed.
The editor of The Herald Is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Col. Jno. G.
Richards, chairman of the State rail-
road comission, in reference to the
passenger station situation, about
which we had written him, and he
states that he will bring the matter
to the attention of the commission
this week when he reaches Columbia.
He also says he is perfectly willing
to come to Bamberg again, and is
''in favor of making the railroad COM
pany give Bamberg what she needs
and wants" He has also written Mr..
J. D. Copeland, Jr., along the same
line.
A few days ago we went up the new
Bamberg-Denmark road, the first
time in some weeks. This will be the
finest road in the county when finish
ed, and will be as good highwty as
can be found anywhere, built of the
same material. Supervisor Bruce
says it is his intention to do perma-
nent work as long as he remains in
Office, no matter whether it is only
till January or not. He is a candi-
date for reelection, and while he will
not run for the office after this year,
he says if reelected he proposes to
put in the next two years doing work
that will be permanent. This is the
right idea.
